I wish there was more stuff like this for the initiated. This isn't a slight against anyone, people learn what they learn when they learn it, but for me I already knew most (all I think) of what was in the premiere episode (which is what I feared going in). I was crazy about space when I was young and studied stuff like that from mid childhood to late teens. But I always found in taking the next step you dove right into heavy math and physics and it got very dry very quickly and that always either intimidated me, or didn't leave me with enough to capture my imagination and I got bored.
It's a great series, and I wish there was more like it for people who want to start learning about the universe and science, but I didn't get much from it. While I imagine this was just a general overview and there will be more in the later episodes, I still think it's going to be light on stuff that's going to be of use to me.
I guess poster like Photon and such would have good places for me to go and check out.
I did really enjoy Neil's story about Carl though.
