Subject
In 1969 two young men raised a lion cub in London, then released him into the wild in Kenya; a year later they returned and were warned he would not remember them, but Christian recognized them and hugged them, because lions can remember individual humans by scent and voice for years
What the viewer was meant to leave with
Lions can remember individual humans for years, recognizing familiar people by scent and voice — which is why Christian, after a full year living wild, greeted the two men who raised him with a hug instead of an attack.
Every episode declares this before a single shot is ordered. An episode that cannot name it does not get made — “that was nice” is a failure state.
Figures are read out of this episode’s own build folder, not estimated. Where the renderer recorded a measured runtime it is labelled as measured; where it did not, the planned value is shown and labelled as planned.
