And as cool as Tyson is, he's never struck me as the master orator that Carl Sagan sometimes was. There were some very memeable moments, and the writing was pretty smart at times, but as a whole this just isn't delivering the same tier of performance. Also, the soundtrack's astronomical inferiority to the Vangelis original means that even if everything else was perfect, this show probably couldn't live up to the original.

This in particular. I could watch the original Cosmos with my eyes closed and still receive a stellar lesson in the happenings and affairs of the universe by Sagan, with that orgasmic soundtrack looming in the background.

I'm sure I won't get that feeling with Tyson's reboot, but its obvious that he cares so deeply about educating people about the topic that he simply needs to get into the flow of this new medium he's now a part of.

I need to stop posting in this topic now.
