AVClub: In its season finale, Drunk History launches into space, with narrators Holly Laurent, Matt Gourley, and Kyle Kinane each embodying different but effective qualities of successful drunk historians.
A part of me wishes the first and last segments of the episode had been switched. I understand why Derek Waters and his team ultimately started with Laurent and ended with Kinane. Laurent tells her story in a slow, calm drawl. She hangs onto every word. The story swells, just like the music she requests to score the beginnings of Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan’s courtship. Kinane, meanwhile, has more of a bulldozer approach to storytelling. He punches every point, and his segment is frantic from the start. In terms of building energy, it makes more sense for Laurent to lead into Kinane, with Gourley being the happy middle ground between the two styles.
