+ Show Spoiler + And it better have some good quotes in it too, like "we are star stuff harvesting star light, our lives, our past and our future, are tied to the sun, the moon and the stars" can't be a tribute or have his name in it without having quote after quote in each and every sentence! | ||

I really didn't like that part. It's so over-dramatic that I think it's corny, but I guess it has its impacts on certain demographics, like to inspire / elicit awe/wonder/respect. | ||

I guess its all dependent of taste, i really liked that video, it felt professionally done almost to the point where it didn't look or sound like it was just audio clips mashed with a video, that it actually had sagan narrating it, but unless you watch the whole thing i guess i can see why its corny, i think its worth watching it all the way through though, because it is very good towards the ending! | ||

Carl Sagan was really a fantastic human being. I like the fact that they (hopefully) try to use this series the same way he once intended it to be viewed - as inspiration and motivation, if even for only a little fraction of the viewership, to think about what they just heard and saw, and maybe become involved with it in one way or another - and not, as is to be feared in our time of television, purely a financial viewpoint. I like Neil deGrasse Tyson - even though he could never replace Carl Sagan for anyone thats seen the original. | ||

NDT is a BAWSS I just finished reading Sagan's "The Dragons of Eden" again the other night, you should find a copy. All about the evolution of human intelligence. Shit will blow your mind. Also pick up "The Varieties of Scientific Experience". Published posthumously, it's kind of a summation of CS' life philosophy/perspective on different topics. It's a collection of his presentations at a prestigious natural theology forum called The Gifford Lectures, and I tend to refer to it as 'Sagan's Bible'. It's a deeply moving read. | ||

This is a great idea. And I think NDT is the perfect choice for host, as like Carl Sagan, he is basically America's ambassador of Astronomy. Perhaps not the absolute top of his field, but definitely one of the most respected and one of the most openly-passionate in what he does. | ||

Yes, flashy and bombastic, but heck, that was to be expected. I welcome special effects if they are used accordingly. Won't lie, i am really looking forward. It'll never be competing with the original cosmos, but hey, if it manages to catch the attention of those young folks like cosmos did and evokes this sense of wonder and astonishment like the original did with me - i am all open for it. | ||
