I just got through watching the first episode of Nat Geo's new mini-series "Mars" and I've got to say: the meh is real. It's probably just me, but they could have done with more tech/science and less drama, but I guess they have to keep the non sci-fi buffs entertained somehow. What did ya'll think of of it? But most importantly, who else was counting the seconds before Tyson made his obligatory appearance?

A sad sign of a growing problem, the slow death of documentary programs.
