Interesting thread on GS about Cosmos, with extensive participation by the guy who mixed it.

A couple of interesting nuggets:
- he used VoG on the narrator's voiceovers (and I was under the impression it was useless!)
- one station in Oklahoma self-censored the mentions of evolution
 

Cool, thanks for sharing!!

We loved the show and are DVRing the series...however...I still think Carl's was better for its time. I shore do miss that ol feller.



As to Henchman's work I thought it was fine. Like he says it's not a day at the park doing this kind of work. We've done the same for lo these many years. We had to match location recorded dialog for the Cohen brother's True Grit, and got pretty dang close. But I can hear it plain as day when I watch. Sigh.

Yeah... 

Strange that we still live in fear of the E word. Well, certain parts of the planet anyway. Imagine what it's like in a country where thoughts can get you killed.
 
Loving the series, but the new guy reminds me of a very brilliant lounge singer. Sorry Neil, just miss hearing Carl say "biwions and biwions"

Especially if you have one for over four hours! 
(Wait, what were YOU talking about?)

Yes, that's very suspicious.  

I like the new show.  Tyson is pretty good.  Even if he isn't Carl Sagan, those are huge shoes to fill.  I'm glad they've remade/rebooted it.  With all the changes in science, it really deserves the update.
