I found it interesting,but lots of conjecture and Hype.
Most annoying was the very loud music over riding the commentary.
Just too much Jee Whizz for me,but worth a watch even so.
Cheers:thumbsup:

Too much whizz bang for me. Not enough, if anything new. As for the conjecture - oh dear! :screwy: Give me Brian Cox any day.

Could hardly watch the first episode. Stupid repetitive "shock and awe" script. Boring as bat poo..... :screwy:

[Regulus]

To much conjecture not enough actual fact. It annoys me because the imagery is so strong that young people, or those without a critical mind, store it, and recall it as there impression of 'how it actually works'.
The use of animated graphics needs to be done carefully just because it has such a strong mnemonic action.
At no point that I recall was it firmly pointed out that this was artists fantasies of the processes. Or pointed out at all.
It was too stupid to watch so I picked up a book instead.

[rustigsmed]

yep, done in the 'American documentary style' - repetition galore. Galore.

won't bother with the next ones - but good on sbs for giving astronomy a go.

galore.

galore, galore.

[astroron]

Second installment is on now on SBS.

[AussieTrooper]

This.

I gave it two shots at about 5 minutes before the commentary made me change the channel.
Lots of scaremongering about solar flares, and little actual science. Pity. Could have been a good show.

I saw the first episode, rather disappointing I thought. The worse was that in presenting some of the current lab-based experiments, there was very poor (to nil) scientific explanation into the fundamentals of how/why of the experimental theory and set up. It was as if the writers themselves didn't know the right questions to ask, and/or just didn't understand the experiments at all. Mega-frustrating to watch...! Doesn't come anywhere close to some the phenomenal BBC Horizon specials over the last 3 decades. Just my opinion...Fox
