Starting at noon PDT on 4/24, head over to /Cosmos to watch all 13 episodes of the acclaimed series back to back. Bring your brains. Bring some apple pie. But perhaps most importantly, bring some friends! If you'd like, you can co-stream the show to add your own commentary over COSMOS, or quietly enjoy it with only your own community members. To co-stream, all you have to do is set your "game" to COSMOS, tell your broadcast software to capture the stream on /Cosmos, and you're good to go.

Not sure why they're not doing it in /TwitchPresents, wasn't that the whole point of that channel?

Always up for some old school Cosmos.

It is amazing they made a new one, (and I love NDT) but I just don't have much desire to go back and watch it.
 
Surprised I didn't hear about this before now. I have Twitch open almost 24/7.

Maybe they're not using /TwitchPresents because they might leave it running constantly like with Bob Ross?


It's hard to enjoy this with so many "fake news" in the comment section.

Click the triangle at the top beside the chat pane to close it.
 
So happy they're streaming this. Listening to Carl Sagan talk about the universe is like a miracle cure for anxiety.
 
Less views that the Power Ranger marathon and Bob Ross marathon. Also chat is filled with ironic flat earthers. This is the world we live in now.

Cosmos does pre-date Power Rangers and Bob Ross by several years. anyone under 40 would not really know much about it. Carl Sagan to many (sadly) is probably just the guy that Neil deGrasse Tyson cities as his inspiration.

Also even as a science geek, the other marathons were kinda exciting because of the hilarity that was the chat. Cosmos doesn't have much room for that, as evident by the current state of it..
 
They probably should do either Magic School Bus or Bill Nye Science Guy marathon next.

But my goodness, Carl is beyond divine.
 
Carl Sagan got me into Science around 10 years ago in my late teens. It was the first step to Atheism, and The God Delusion completed the cycle for my mind.

I really should have totally retooled my education path back then (was only doing essay based subjects, Eng Lit, Politics, History etc. then I ended up doing IT which I wasn't passionate about and now I work in logistics lol) but I didn't. If I had discovered Sagan just a few years earlier in my life I certainly would have gone down a STEM path in my education.

Still something I could amend, but at the very least the passion and my respect for the field is there.
