    I’ve never seen the originals, as he’s not that popular in Europe. My only exposure is “Bill Nye Saves The World” on Netflix. I couldn’t get past the first episode.

    I’m a big fan of Sagan, and while I don’t think NDT’a Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey was as good as the first series, I was mostly looking at Nye’s show with the same lense and trying to draw comparisons between them.

      have not seen that. will go look for it, I wonder if perhaps he’s exhausted trying to explain basic science in this idiot-filled age.

      I watched half of the new cosmos, then something got in the way (deployment or vacation or something where I was away from the internet), I should rewatch it. Agree it was not as amazing as OG Cosmos (I love that series so much that I own two copies of the book, one for me and one for the kids). Sagan is just that awesome, it even overcomes the 70s outfits :D
