Good.... But I think he should have mentioned by now that the alternative to 'determined will' is not 'free will' but 'un-determined will', which means there's no 'control' over it. There's determined will, or random will, but not this free magicky childhood wonder type of will. This links with his turtles analogy.

Still good, but a few too many analogies without mining them first for insight, and a few too many opportunities missed to elaborate on the impossibility of the alternative - indeterminism - or the incoherence of what a 'free' will could even be.

Free will is just 'free will of the gaps'. I think he's getting to that point, he just hasn't quite explicitly said it yet. Nor compared it to the old 'god of the gaps' issue.
