zoony Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I thought the production was lame and the content was mediocre. The cartoonish graphics reminded me of the films we watched in 8th grade health. The content was crap especially for anyone who has read cosmos. They jumped around way too much and found ways to make it boring. Disappointing to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I thought this was going to be a series, or at least more than one episode. Was I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjah Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My 10 year old balked and complained for the first five minutes. I had to threaten her with an early bedtime to get her to watch it with me. She sat through about 45 minutes of it before wondering off. It made me very happy she watched that much with me. When he started talking about Giordano Bruno about 10 minutes in; my daughter had many questions. At one point she turns to me and says.. OK this is pretty cool. Thumbs up from me so far.. Yeah, Bruno got some wide-eyed attention from our preschool set. I was wondering how they would handle the visuals at the end of that particular tale. Turned out well. I think that segment bought several extra minutes of attention span before my girls finally ran off in search of Bristle Blocks and fairy tiaras.

SoCalSkins Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I watched it on Nat Geo on Sunday. They launched it on 10 stations last Sunday including Fox Sports 1 and FX. It will be on Fox Sundays and Nat Geo Mondays for the remaining 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that story about a Fox station censoring it, I don't want to support them, but I would like to watch it with my brothers on Sundays...

Shiv Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 In 2001 Fox aired "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?". That show spawned so much stupid debate from the cretins. I wish they never aired that garbage. They should apologize for that ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because protesting against anything you don't agree with is exactly what the bible teaches us. What a bunch of morons. I'm sure a rally of 26 people in Saddlebridge, Oklahoma will really drum up the pressure on FOX. Yo Neil, keep swaggin' on these idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The past two episodes have been very enlightening to me. I'm good with Space, but not the atomic scale and lower. The neutrino segment from the last episode blew my mind, have to look them up. I didn't quite grasp the quantum leaping of electrons (I think it's electrons). Why/how does that happen? They don't know yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chew Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 kinda off topic, but did anybody see "Journey to the Edge of the Universe," narrated by Alec Baldwin? By far my favorite space documentary evar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Bump. Just watched episode 9. Maybe my favorite one yet. Spoiler: It's about the history of life on Earth. Continental drift, climate changes, extinction, evolution. A lot of geology involved. The opening scene with the massive insects blew me away. Centipedes as long as crocidiles and flying bugs as big as hawks used to exist because of the larger amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere. I like how it was another woman that discovered fault lines. That's three women so far that Cosmos has given due props to. Shared this on Facebook: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
