[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

The first time I read this I overlooked the "1" and thought you said Voyager 6. And we all know what happened to Voyager 6 don't we?

All the eps of Cosmos are you the YouTubes.

It's in better quality on Hulu.

Or you could cast an economic vote and buy the whole set on DvD.

Good point. It seems a lot of good TV and film was done in those 10-15 years, beginning with "2001" in 1968 and culminating, perhaps, with "Blade Runner" in 1982, with all manner of wonderful things in between, including Jacob Bronowski's "The Ascent Of Man" in 1973 (which "Cosmos" was inspired by) and an amazing short film by IBM in 1977, "Powers Of Ten", which, despite technological advances, remains compelling to this day.

You might be interested in this 1968 animated short produced by the National Film Board of Canada, Cosmic Zoom. It uses a very similar concept to Powers of Ten, and it's equally compelling, I think.
