First an apology, I haven't yet watched this (at least not today). So, a question, is there anything in particular (highlights, choice moments) which make this of interest?
Her hair and her clothes? Really?I found her hair, her clothes, what she said and the way she said it, interesting.
And I'm no shrink !

Ooh, interesting armchair psychoanalysis. Imagine the reception if I did this for, say, Radin or Sheldrake.Here's some speculation.
She spent 25years researching the paranormal, but after that time, the penny finally dropped,she realised that being on that side of the fence would never make her the big famous scientist she deeply longed to be.
She changed sides and now loves being a big cog in the sceptical wheel. She was welcomed with open arms as someone who once was lost, but now sees the light, the best kind of academic sceptic. She has buried any trace of integrity that once existed and convinced herself that all her experiments were failures and although she had some sort of out of body thing one night, she's blown it into the deepest NDE that her and a few others can describe.

Hmm, are you sure? Perhaps just not wild colors like Blackmore.You couldn't , they don't dye their hair. :D

Koch would be really great for stuff like that. Hes also not dyeing his hear, but well...ah, you know, the clothes. Hes a lot more controversial then blackmore aswell. That one move from being parasychologist to being a anti-psi-person made her so much money, i wonder how much of that was just pure self-marketing.
The same thing can be said about anyone who claimed they were a complete skeptic and then had an experience that showed them the "truth" and are now making a living on that experience. Eben Alexander comes to mind. Claiming a history of personal skepticism is almost a ubiquitous starter, as if it gives more weight to the truth of their claims.
Please note I'm not even saying this is bad. IMO it certainly doesn't seem like a justifiable reason in and of itself to shoot someone down. People make all kinds of money for all kinds of reasons on all sides of all fences.

I know the feeling, that happens to me as well :)I had a thought like a sparkling glass of water when I started to write this post, but trying to express it in writing somewhat muddied the water. :)
