Didn’t like the use of cartoons, looked like something out of Scoobie Doo!

So I’m not the only one who’s underwhelmed by the remake? The original inspired me to become an astronomer. I forgot to watch the remake by the third episode.

I disagree. I think it’s fascinating. And I think Tyson is doing a good job.

he’s certainly been able to insult people extremely effectively.

Heh, I know John. Nice guy, well spoken. I’m more interested in the show as an outside observer hoping for something that kindles interest in astronomy and science, but the vibe I’ve been getting from people about it has not been terribly positive. The visuals are great, but it seems to misfire elsewhere, especially the constant use of cartoons.

Mrs. Fierro heard me watching episode 2 and asked, “what, is this some sort of comedy?”

The tone was set with deliberate falsehoods about Brutus and the church. I predict more and, ore global warming environmental propoganda heading our way. These people simply can not stop thmselves. I won’t waste my time.

I stopped paying too much attention when Tyson referred to Comets as dirty snowballs when we’ve known for almost ten years now, after numerous fly-bys, a couple of probe touch-downs, and the Deep Impact Space Mission where we Rammed Comet Tempel 1 with a 600 pound hunk of copper, that there is no ice or water on any comet we’ve encountered, and, except for their orbit, they are essentially indistinguishable from any other asteroid. If he insists on sticking to outdated, falsified science on that, then how much of the rest is worth watching? How much credibility can I give to ANYTHING else the man says? I decided very little.

It’s so disappointing. The man has no gravitas and talks like he’s talking to 6 year olds instead of adults. I don’t remember Sagan presenting opinion so often and so far left during his cosmos run.

episode 3 and I’ve removed it from my recording schedule.
