I watched all Cosmos titles. They are absolutely telling the tale of the essence of being Human. Wonder, skepticism and exploration senses are the main distinctive qualities of Humans and these make the ground for the science which is told in the series.

Every episode took me from the heart, I got sucked in a marvel. Neil deGrasse Tyson is, as always doing an excellent job on scienctific communication like an ambassador. But as he countlessly declared he's in fact carrying the torch lit by Carl Sagan who was also an excellent science and morals spokesperson.

On a personal and universal level I got deeply caught by the last five minutes of this episode. Once more I got amazed by how farsighted Carl Sagan was. Such an excellent reasoning put through such well put words shuddered me both in a belief to better side of special humans in the past and in an embarrassment of the current qualities of an average human beings.

We need much more Cosmoses. This is the thing which should be mainstream. Amazing as always.

I loved the first Cosmos with Sagan which I watched live back in high school. The last season with Tyson was ok but still a step down from the eloquence and gravitas of Sagan to the monotone of Tyson. This new "Possible Worlds" series is more of the same, but even less polished. The childishly geometric and flat animations became tiresome and smacked of "not trying hard enough". Sorry Neil, I respect your mind, but you could have done better. And the overly poetic yet scientifically uninspiring writing of Druyan was cringe worthy at times. I will say that the long narration by Sagan at the end of the "Habitable Zone" episode was a redeeming feature that makes me sad that Sagan died far too soon. Still I give this season a 7 if only because it will - hopefully - inspire some bright youngsters
