NOTE: Full screen 1080p or gfto

I'm really pumped about this. I honestly thought it would never happen. The idea of Fox airing a primetime science mini series with NDT narrating just sounded too far fetched for me. I've been keeping tabs on the progress of this show for (what seems like) 4 years and I am very happy to see that it's actually going to happen.

My only complaint was that the score for the trailer was not as awe inspiring as I hoped it would be, but it's probably just personal taste.
 
I'm a huge Sagan fan but I really couldn't tell what the fuck they were going for with that trailer; it was all over the place. Looked like something between Babylon 5 and a low-budget Baraka.

Agreed...it definitely had a 'show up and throw up' vibe to it. I think they are trying to go for that modern grandiose smash cut style of teasing a envelope-pushing special effect movie but also show the different ways this mini series is going to get it's point across...via cartoon history lessons/highly localized examples of happenings on earth and then high level sweeping looks at the universe...but it really didn't tie together at all.





This was shown at Comi-Con I believe, so I assume they knew the majority of the audience would know exactly whats going on; due to their anticipating the release of this series.
 
Sucks.


I hope not.





This will be on Fox with commercials? No thanks.





This is a popular science look at recent astrophysics science?


Nova did that with NDT and Brian Greene 4-5 years ago. Without commercials.





There was zero science and a lot of fiction in that trailer.





Maybe I am guessing wrong about what this is all about.

It's a remake of the original Cosmos mini-series (which was based off of the book The Cosmos by Carl Sagan). Here is a trailer for the OG:

Not sure what parts you thought were fiction. If you are referring to the fake space craft that pops up a few times, that's something from the original series. The OG series had the narrator (Carl Sagan) traveling around the Cosmos in a space craft...I think it's just a device used to draw certain people in and get a few points across.





The series itself will not be based on any fictions nor was the OG series and book.

I'd be cool if the President was just a Sagan Hologram...
