I loved when they just let him rewrite the entire ending of the show to let him pull a Hamlet, like, "eh, I'm not sure it actually makes sense a hundred percent but it's GOOD ENOUGH. IMPROV!!!"
Competence is always compelling! The other thing that stood out to me was how much attention Francis puts into the technical details of People Being Competent In Their Spheres; like, there's the whole thing about the really dedicated cook who's just very good at making train food for millionaires, and you can't really call his rivalry with the other train cook a subplot, they're just there doing their thing well and Francis thinks it's worthwhile for you to know about them.
