5 minutes in, it was obvious it was aimed at the astronomy-unaware. Which is GOOD! How else are we expected people to get interested - throw them straight into deep cosmology and particle physics? I mean, come now people, think outside YOUR square.
After those 5 minutes, I went outside and used my telescope, just as I do most clear nights. I hope it elicited the same response in the astro-neophytes - at least to look UP instead of looking at the idiot box all night watching something useless (like De Grasse's "Cosmos" - an insult to Carl Sagan's memory!).
If you want cosmology and particle physics and quantum mechanics, I suggest you don't look on the television - try reading a book, a scientific article or even do the online free course.
