"Nova ScienceNow Season 5 Episode 5 Wed, Feb 16, 2011. It starts out with the origin of the solar system. So, it has quit a ways to go to get to us. The presentation shows what it promises. However, they are trying to pack too much into the presentation, so we get big gaps in technology and history. Look at it as the reader's digest condensed version. There is nothing wrong with science or speculation. It just feels like fluff. The presentation style is very flashy and tries too hard to be cute. If you know the information this is boring if you do not know the information it is not well..."
