[Conan the Librarian]

I actually do like the show, but, the end of episode 2 was astonishingly bad.

Hynek buys his kid a telescope, sets it up, and points the open in of the scope to the ground. He then tells the kid to look through it and see Mars.

He might have seen a Mars BAR on the ground or something, but, he wasn’t seeing the planet Mars.

Hollywood types know NOTHING about telescopes or astronomy unless they absolutely must. The Big Bang Theory and Futurama seem to be able to do this correctly. But they have smart people on staff as writers.

LOL, saw that and told my wife the same.
