Basically the program was flat and boring

The only things I enjoyed were the Virgo Cluster enlightenment and the last chapter with the Cosmos Calendar using a earth year as the time line of the universe's age showing how young earth and it's inhabits are in relationship to the age of the universe as we know it. Skipping through several months leaving out would be exciting births of mechanisms of the universe didn't do it justice though. I suppose the emphases on earth's history and time allotment factored in. It ends with; 'We still don't know how life started' and that's the big question. Is the answer hidden in the galactic cosmos or right here at home?

I didn't understand the use of Giordano Bruno as their victim of suppression and unjust treatment for his theories. The opening statements were how scientific discoveries rely on evidence and are reviewed by other scientist and the ones that don't hold up are disqualified. At the end of Bruno's cartoon bio Tyson says that Bruno was just guessing and lucky about his views and had no evidence to back his theories. It seemed to contradict scientific philosophy in itself by using Bruno, but I guess showing a person's life ending with burning at the stake for his lucky theories is a bigger bang for the means.
