Did it just crap out for anyone else, or is Time Warner just terrible here?

EDIT: Just the one channel, probably just in my area. The stream on NatGeo is still live.

Enough with the whining about being persecuted hundreds of years ago. No matter how much they focus on it, they aren't going to convince modern day opponents to relent. Just show science.

The big bang was caused by a black scientist and a black president launching a science series on prime time network tv.

Should have done 15 minutes of the cave painting cartoon instead.

If NDT is narrating I'll watch an episode where he puts his coffee table together and just reads the instructions.

Let's not forget that this will be running on channels like NatGeo and in classrooms around the world for the next decade. Kids from inner city school districts that can't afford a trip to a planetarium won't give a gently caress how the ratings compared to Resurrection or whatever else. NDT and everyone else involved clearly want to inspire a whole generation of kids. The airing on Fox isn't some last desperate attempt to save science - it's the opening ceremony for a decade plus of inspiring children.

Sure, 20 million views in one night and time slot supremacy would be awesome, but 6 million views on prime time TV for a science inspiration show is a great start.

He was the primary on 5, which is the same as NDT, so I don't get your point?

It's ok for someone with a low publication record to host science shows and do science outreach. It won't hurt you, I promise.

No one gives a poo poo about some random dorks in lab coats giving a boring science lecture no matter how much more "qualified" or whatever they are than NDT.

Ya know what was cool? When he flew his made up spaceship around the planets and gave little neat blurbs about each one. Like the ones where we got a neat upwards shot from the planet's surface of the ship flying through Venus and Jupiter

The visual of the storm on Jupiter owns bones.

I kinda wish they spent more time on the planets, and hope they come back to it. Mercury and Uranus were basically, "gently caress this guy, onto the next planet!"
