Uh, we DO like him?

Because he's dead. I don't like dead people.

I don't.
My father and I would watch Cosmos together, I enjoyed that.
Bet I'd like him less if I read one of his books.
Tends to be a trend, especially Feynman.

I'm sick of his smug face and how uneducated teenagers worship him only for presenting colorful space pictures. He's not synonymous with science and most of his followers don't know shit about science.

The amount of elitism in this post...

You should stop calling it "elitism," because faggots like that think being "elitist" just proves they are "elite," when in fact it's usually the opposite. The only people who a problem with Carl Sagan are the super insecure people with something to prove, almost invariably undergrads.

Why are you so anti-intellectual? Being educated doesn't mean "elitism". I'm not "elitist" just because I know what science and math are. Please go to school and grow up.

Then you are mad at those uneducated teenagers, not at Carl.

He's actually mad at himself.

Cosmos is really well written, pretty entertaining, and full of the kind of infectious enthusiasm that makes for really good educational shows.

I have always considered him a source of motivation/inspiration, but not knowledge.
