In honor of Neil DeGrasse Tyson and the Cosmos series final episode. I feel like the new Cosmos complimented the old Cosmos very well. Adding a modern feel and understanding to the pioneering work of the first series. Much praise to both men who stamped their presence upon science and humanity. I raise my glass to NDT and Carl Sagan. Oh and a quote from NDT:
Embracing life
Questioning the conventional wisdom
A blog about just about anything and everything
Random musings about everything.
Guitar gear, guitar myths and guitar accessory reviews plus guitar amps and effects pedals.
Things I want to say about this, that, and the other thing.
I don’t want to start a class war; it started a long time ago and, unfortunately, we lost.
Searching for truth while leaving tradition behind.

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. - M. Cole

I have watched a few episodes and I think it was done quite well. NDT has done a good job reviving cosmos

I would agree.
At first there were many detractors, complaining of the cartoon sequences, and the Ship of the Imagination, I really had no issues with either as it was the subject material that captivated me.
I do believe we will have to get the Cosmos CD pack. My kids were generally distracted with other things (being kids) while the series aired, I will strap them to the couch one or two episode at a time, for a week, till we go through the entire series. One way or another every kid needs to see this. For that matter every adult should see it as well. There will be a quiz!
