WHY? 
Aside from that (hopefully) small drawback, more Neil is always good

As long as we are spared from his ever repeating jokes and (from what I've seen so far) shit art I'll be fine with it.
Still can't understand why fox got him for this in the first place but whatever.

He made the show, dno if hes in it. Kudos to him for getting a science grounded show on Network tv.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

Yeah, this can only do good things for Fox's audience, we gotta start somewhere...even if it's a battle lost from the start
"the hell is this crazy dude talking about Bob?! Ain't this against the Bible? Darn Marie, I told you before, it ain't serious stuff. It's science fiction.. but it's kinda fun"

Their news section is an ultra-conservative ideologue, while their entertainment branch is full of irreverent shows like MacFarlane's cartoons.

It's almost as if their higher ups couldn't give a single shit about politics, only to cater to as wide an audience as possible. |
Haha indeed, I think that's the only explanation really. And the fact that Fox itself is the target of a large part of that humour makes it even more oddly contradicting. It's all an elaborate and subtle ploy, they're smarter than we think xD |

I'm watching this, and so far it seems nothing but your standard science documentary, Sagan's Cosmos was something else entirely, it focused itself on the history of knowledge and on the passion of discovery, Cosmos was enthralling and Sagan presented facts in such a way where nothing was certain other than the joy of discovery.
Tyson's Cosmos opened up with highly speculative theories being presented as nearly factual, and to be honest its nothing but a text book documentary, wherein Sagan's Cosmos was magic and up to date until this day, Tyso's Cosmos feels nothing but bland.

Well i watched a bit and one thing is certainly clear. DeGrasse is nowhere near as mesmerizing as Sagan was. The effects are top notch, so i will definitely continue watching, but i felt the first ep was a bit all over the place. Maybe because i thought the cartoon about Giordano Bruno was just too stupid. As a show about science do we really need a Disney-like cartoon with sad faces, injustice and whatnot? When he's thrown in jail and then ascended into the "cosmos" i for a moment thought i was watching a religious cartoon about some "martyr". Totally unnecessary if you ask me.

Yeah, as I said in the other thread, this will be different. Time to see for myself.

I expected someone throwing 'Highly speculative' around when seeing the epi. Just because they say that some believe in a multiverse. Something they also said in the original Cosmos 
My advice pay more attention to the words so you'll see they aren't selling it as factual.
On the epi:
I don't see it 'that' different than Sagan's cosmos (saw it last month again). It's maybe a tad less artistic and no cold war politics in it. But so far it's pretty much the same with better special fx and another speaker. Tho I got to say that I felt like Tyson was holding himself back, usually there's a lot more passion coming from him. Might be because it's more an ode to Sagan.
That being said I think they did a great job. After all, they target a different audience, one whom they can spark an interest for science. I think this does the job. Most of us already got that from the original Cosmos. I'm watching it for nostalgia, curiousness to the changes and Dr. Tyson.

yea, the cartoon felt like it was from a different episode
they should have cut it entirely and spread out the calendar bit
there were large segments that were very surface deep
like the first generation of stars was very briefly mentioned, and birth of life ignored plantlife entirely, which is the majority of life on the planet

Nope. Watched it. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Production values sucked dick.
Neil was very limited... real passion showed up for a total of 2 minutes.
Nope. Will continue watching and hopefully they'll get into the right pace and the right feel of it.
Right now it's very very very poor.

So I guess I should check the original series instead (never watched it before)?

Loved it. And even though I knew the story between Tyson and Sagan, it still brought a tear to my eyes. Actually many but who cares 
This might be an homage to Sagan but it is definitely Tyson's Cosmos and I like it so far and eagerly await the upcoming episodes!

Did to me as well. Was a nice touch to see Tyson with Sagan's agenda. But yeah that story really stuck with me after reading one of his books. |

too, but after hearing lots of influential people saying he was a good person for Neil to team up with, I'm good.
