Anybody watched this televisual experience - it's rad, plus the music is awesome. |
||||||||
|

|
|
an awesome experience of course i never thought Laura palmer enjoys Carls videos. |

In an effort to feel some modicum of cosmic understanding, I could read 1000 holy books, make 1000 pilgrimages, and pray 1000 times. Or I could listen to Carl Sagan speak for 5 minutes. That's how great he was/is. |

yeah i've got the boxed set. Carl's brilliant- he'd be the best dad in the world. Compare him with the annoyingly trendy childfaced brian cox who the bbc seem to have made head of science and it's a sad state of affairs. they could at least wheel out patrick moore. |

brian cox is a cutie, but carl sagan is the man |
||||||||
|

|
|
what is this about? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
use the fucking internet you moron. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, it's available for downlaod from the internets!" |

brian cox is alright. he went to the same uni as me. he had a choice when he was studying to go touring as the keyboard player for D-Ream (things can only get better) or stick to his studies. he chose his studies. |

those two things admittedly don't seem from different worlds. I just prefer these types of have more of a benign grandfather feel- Brian cox has more of an overeager 1st year student feel to him although i know he's very accomplished in his field. I'm just cynical and the bbc have really dumbed down things like horizon in recent years, over emphasizing flashy graphics over insight and facts. Cox just lacks that paternal authority. This has it in spades tho=] |

ha ha, yeah. .They mention he's IN A MUSIC BAND in every single documentary. He appears to be more 'internet 2.0' which means get the happiest smiliest guy the job because function is broken in internet 2.0 and its all about fake positive image instead or something. When I first saw cosmos (all on youtube) I thought it was rather hilarious how distinctly sagan pronounciated. It'd be easy to make a parody of his speaking style but ad hominem aside, the videos are really excellent/profound. |

i like that cosmos actually has slow bits in it. space where you can actually get lost and daydream about the stuff it's talking about. hard to do that these days when it's all exploding dinosaurs and drum and bass tidal waves. here's the quintessential example of terrible science programming with peewee herman impressionist . |

hahaha! |

||||||||
|
|

Carl's facial expressions are great, they make me feel happy. Too legit to quit. |

from episode 4: "The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there is no place for it in the endeavor of science." |

the most shocking part was the update when he clarifies about the death of dinosaurs, it seems that someone has put makeup on his face to make him look older! haha.. nice one by the way, even if sometimes i stuck in the language gaps cos of the 'molecular' subjects. |
||||||||
