President Obama is expected to introduce the series!<p><a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-ms-cosmos-fox-president-obama-seth-macfarlane-tyson-20140308,0,5265363.story#axzz2vQZjk5hk" rel="nofollow">http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-ms...</a><p>Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about his redux of the famous Carl Sagan series and why science and science literacy matter in a democracy, with Bill Moyers on Moyers & Company.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da3G2ezt9R0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da3G2ezt9R0</a>
I really hope this isn't an overproduced mess. I look at how Fox makes Gordon Ramsey look like the ultimate asshole, and hope it doesn't happen to Tyson.
Good news, but please [do watch the original series](<a href="http://hypertexthero.com/logbook/2014/03/cosmos/" rel="nofollow">http://hypertexthero.com/logbook/2014/03/cosmos/</a>) if you haven't yet.
Reading the description of today's episodes, they are revisiting the Cosmic Calendar and discussing the immense age of the universe. However this was also the first episode of Sagan's Cosmos. Is this a shot for shot remake with better graphics? Or is this something new and only inspired by the previous show?
Apparently Obama is giving an introduction.<p>As a scientist, I completely reject this politicization of science.<p>I do not agree that the Democrats are a pro-science, pro-reason party and I reject their attempt to portray themselves as such by latching on to scientists.<p>I will not be tuning in. I don't know who is producing this, but involving the President is a breach of integrity.
