So how about that Neil deGrasse Tyson? I thought the pacing was a bit too fast for a science show, but I'm just glad to see science on network TV again. Anyone else watching this with me?

Me too, but luckily our cable provider has graciously given us access to it on demand.

Haven't yet, but planning to ASAP.
The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.

I didn't mean it was hard to keep up with, because I think everything is explained in a very easy to understand way, especially for children, which is who the show is (hopefully) for. I just wish they'd go more into depth on some things, and less on others. The second episode fixed a lot of those problems though. Loving this show!

I like how they're really telling the history and stories of scientific discoveries and the people who made them happen. It's something I've always wanted to really get into. They should teach this stuff in high school history.

Ok, so it's more like NOVA at this point.
...I, uh...I liked NOVA.
Well that's how I spent my evenings as a kid.
Cut them some slack. They can't do the big bang every week.
The Halley story was great because it pointed out that neener-neener moments happen even between scientists of reputation when someone gets proven wrong or gets called out on their BS. Albeit, more civilly now.
Besides, they built up the Halley prediction to show the animation at the end of the Milky Way collision with the Andromeda galaxy. That was cool.

And no matter what your rating of the show is, last night's episode gets +1 for the voice of Patrick Stewart.

Ahh! I thought I heard him but wasn't sure! Thanks for confirming! Still loving this, and I feel like the "anti christian" sentiment has only gotten stronger due to the complaints it's been receiving (Although I know this is not true--but I think it's funny anyway.)

I think they're trying to appeal to it by at least acknowledging some of the monumental physicists had faith of some kind. They at least pointed out Newton trying to crack the Bible "code."
