I checked out Cosmos the other night.
COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey
I understand how it's targeted for children (even the time slot is set for a 'before bedtime' type of thing.
*shrug* It's that Dad instinct in me that tells me this), and maybe once in a while they'll toss out a nugget for the adults, but putting aside the 'meh' factor it really stuck with me and got me thinking about a few things that have been sitting in the corner of my brain for a while. Like the fact that trees/plants process sugars in the same manner as humans/animals. Interesting stuff.
