i liked the origonal cosmos.

the new one is pretty good.

synopsis: kinda like magic school bus for adults...

Cosmos A SpaceTime Odyssey

I just finished watching this. It's very awesome and understandable.

they have it on nexflix now i re-watched it again haha i'm such a dork

. . .that I found both original and new versions on home video. The original presentation's video could have been a little cleaner, maybe, (just guessing as to current restorative technologies) but wow, what a tiny complaint in the face of being able to watch it anytime now, and for the first time in longer than I care to recall.

Hearing that Seth MacFarlane was attached to the new project gave me misgivings and trepidation, but as the series got such wonderful reviews it became clear that this revisiting was in perfect hands.

A "Magic School Bus" for adults, you say? Yeah, to a degree but the message is multigenerational and presented in such an articulate and accessible fashion that entire families can enjoy and digest, which I recall Neil expressed at the Comic-Con panel was a major goal for the tone of the series.

Oh, and Astrid. . .you're NOT a dork (that word has some negative connotations for me)! YOU. . .are an Explorer, a Questioner who is not dismayed but enchanted when answers lead only to more questions.
