Transformed by gamma rays?

Don’t make Phil angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

I suppose Discovery took a big plunge by just comissioning 3 episodes as a pilot for a series, like they did with Mythbusters back in the day. The format seems to be based on Mythbusters, so it seems like a fair bet. A whole series, like 6 episodes (in the UK) might have been overkill even for Phil, when there’s no guarantee the series will land. I’m looking forward to the series, and I bet it will land new episodes. After all, Phil’s not boring, is he?

But of course, having to carry all the weight of presenting a science show all alone would be hard even for a great performer like Phil. Mythbusters moved to the 2 team system just because it was easier work for everyone, and they had the presenters in-shop already. Anyway Phil, if you need a co-host, be sure to ask all your craziest (strike that, I mean greatest) friends. The League of Super Scientists sounded like a great idea, if it wasn’t for the bad acronym.

Very Nice, A Scientific look at what actually can happen, eventually will happen and its likely consequences for any life still going strong on earth at the time of impact. I would like not only to congratulate Phil Plate for the TV opportunity to be able to spread a true scientific message to the masses, but also to the people making it possible. I just hope Producers and creative directors do not destroy it by blowing it out of proportion (If one can blow mass extinction out of proportion that is)…guess you could if one add mutated super intelligent homeopathic lemon juice monsters causing the Impact so that the Illuminati can process all the organic matter of the planet to produce super mutant…oh well, you know what I mean.

Continue with the Good job ya all

Phil, Congratulations. You’ve been doing good work for years – about time so many more people will hear about “Bad Astronomy” from someone who has been making it understandable for kids and adults for years.

On YouTube, Andromeda's Wake has posted a new video (subject: Fine Tuning) which includes a 'shout out' to BU. [it's about four minutes in]

Why am I not surprised Phil’s cartoon alter ego has laser beam eyes?

Also, I hope that audio warble is fixed before the show airs. It’s really distracting.
