MEMBER REVIEW: This set of DVDs is less worthwhile than Season 1. Some of the episodes are just not worth watching. “Sex in Space” and “Deep Space Disasters” are two of the worst. Many of the others take an “Oh my God, we arere all gonna die!!!!!” take on astronomy, emphasizing asteroid/comet impacts with Earth, Sun exploding/swelling, magnetar stars burping and stripping the atmosphere, etc. etc. etc. You get the feeling we are all gonna die soon from something we do not even know about anyhow, so why bother. A friend described it as, “It sounds like they ran out of things to do”, and I agree. There are some interesting episodes, more about (then) recent projects in space exploration and so forth. This was done in 2009, the newest things are absent. But it does have good history and how we got to where we are in space travel and so forth. My suggestion is watch, but if the episode seems silly or contrived, do not finish it and go on to the next one. The episodes seem to me wildly varying in quality, from massively stupid, to really interesting. So try it, but be prepared to abandon a stupid one, and go on to the next one, which will be different in quality.
