I thought it was very good - terrific graphical illustrations and computer animations. I thought they dwelt a bit long with the Giordano Bruno animated story, and I was irked when they flew through the asteroid belt and Kuiper Belt and it looked like something out of a Star Wars chase scene! (Tyson did later clarify that the average Oort Cloud inter-object distance was equivalent to Earth-Saturn, but I bet most viewers missed that and still think that there are some densely packed minor-body fields out there!).

Overall though, great stuff. Looking forward to next week.
