In Brazil is “Universo Implacável”

The show started at 9 pm for Central America and was repeated on Saturday at 3 pm.

It was a great show and very funny. The only thing we all missed was the right voice tones and the tasty jokes you do in English.

The evil laugh when that 25 tons telescope came into life was “lost in translation”

Can’t wait to watch the second episode!

Great program. loved his wacky style of delivery. Only thing that got me a bit sad was Phil’s apparent lack of understanding of acceleration. His assertion that space travel at hi-g would make you sick is ridiculous. We’re all pulling 1 G now! Pulling 2 G would make you tired; everything’s twice as heavy, but the reason he felt ill in the aircraft was of the change in direction, not the G.

He also said that it would take years to get anywhere worth while at such a low acceleration. Piffle! At a constant 1G acceleration – very comfortable for the crew of this hypothetical craft – Mars would be yours in less then a week. (2 days acceleration + turnover + 2 days deceleration depending on where Mars was in the sky and if it was coming at us or running away from earth at launch) Nowhere near fast enough for inter-stellar flight, but hacking around our solar system would be a breeze if we could achieve that.

I’m sure if Phil had thought about it, he would have spotted that, so I don’t blame him. Some script writer somewhere has goofed. Good program, but get the science right!

Awesome show (I loved the making of the crater). It got 3 reruns in 24 hours!. It seems Morgran Freeman is taking your spot next week, tough. Any news if your your show will be on a regular basis?

There you go, a little sample of Phil Plait or Felipe Trenza as Futura Black suggested in the comments:

“Santo Mierda” is wrong, it should be “Santa Mierda” to be right, in spanish “mierda” is a female, so the first word must be female, ending in A, ending in O is male.

I’m watching my DVD now (finally!) – and holy Haleakala, you really DO say “Holy Haleakala!” a lot!

Someone has *got* to YouTube this so we can see Dubbed Astronomer!

I bet “Holy Haleakala!” will be translated to “Ay Caramba!” or something like that.

I vote for “Santo Mierda!” (apologies to actual Spanish speakers)

i think all tv shows based on alien attack stories are…well.. mainly stories and less science proved facts or events.. still nice might be a nice to watch show

I bet “Holy Haleakala!” will be translated to “Ay Caramba!” or something like that.

Btw, someone noticed that “Mitos” is translated “Myths”? N0body? alright then

Tomorrow, 10PM, I’ll be watching from Mexico. I normally despise dubbed programs, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt until I watch it.

heheheh universal mites as a reference to the alien attack was a good one, but as was pointed out, it means myth

Well, if i can’t reach M1o1 (it’s a little… below the horizon from where i am) i will have to settle with this.

It means “Myths of the Universe.” But I suspect there is a tongue in cheek involved in this post…

Mitos del Universo translates as “Myths from the Universe”. The second episode name is indeed right (and I loved the use of the opening exclamation mark!)

Anyway, I’ve always wanted to watch them, so I’ll be there!

By: Futura Black

Futura Black — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 01:12:50 +0000

owww! letme think… it would be something like:
Estaaa nocheee (tonight!) …Felipe Trenza (that’s phil’s name! OMG!) … nos llevará a descubrir los Mitooos del Universoooo (yep, discovering myths alright)… yadahyadahyadah ¿Acaso Tooodos moriraaaán??? (and that’s your soup opera cliffhanger!)

^_^! There! Completamente traducido!

I hope they got Antonio Banderas to dub my voice, though. That would be muy bonito.

“My mother… was a pure woman, from a noble family. And I, at least, know who my father is, you pig-eating son of a whore!”

At last! I´ve been waiting for this one since you started promoting the show, I promise to tell you how the dubbing was.

Also, Mitos is “Myths”, so it would be: “Myths of the Universe”… yeah, the name kinda sucks but I think the network is trying to relate the show to “Mythbusters” so, hey!

oh, btw, FIRST!… and hoping not to be the only one.
