Anyone have Sagan's 'Cosmos' series?

In the ep “Traveler’s Tales,” he makes mention of Linda Morabito, who is noted for mentioning volcanic activit on Io. I could have sworn he referred to her as “Laura Morabito.” If anyone has this, could you verify that one way or another. I don’t know when it might be on again.

I noticed just yesterday that Netflix has Cosmos: The Complete Collection available for instant viewing. But it doesn’t let you select an episode, or even a disc! Do they expect you to watch the whole thing in one sitting? :eek:

Just after the 45 minute mark he introduces her:

Also, re: Netflix: Once you start the Silverlight player, the control bar at the button provides a “More Episodes” button that will allow you to select a specific episode.

I just checked the episode, and he does say Linda. The mention is roughly at the 45 minute mark.

You can also see all the episodes individually on Hulu or on YouTube.

Cool. Thanks!

I was only too happy to dig up some old TV ephemera to find an obscure quote for the guy who dug up some old TV ephemera to find an obscure quote for the rest of us.

Besides, Netflix made it effortless. I mean, that’s the beauty of it. I didn’t do anything. :slight_smile:

Sure it does. You just have to make sure you’re searching from the Watch Instantly section:

  1. Click the Watch Instantly tab.
  2. In the search box, enter “Cosmos.”
  3. On the search results page, click the link that says Cosmos: The Complete Collection. (Or the image of the DVD; do not click the PLAY button.)

This will take you to this page, where you can choose your episode as thou will’t.
