I've posted this before, but I like it so much it's time to post it again! As long as we have these terrible things with us, it's pertinent.
I particularly admire the care these folks took to get the New Mexico setting just right. After all, far removed in their European redoubt, they didn't have to make that effort - they didn't have to care - and it wouldn't have affected the show much. These folks cared about everything they did, however, and it shows.
