It's the saga of humanity.  Not just the rise and fall of civilizations, but the story of humanity, told over tens of thousands of years.  I have been a long time fan of Asimov, and this Apple TV series is a much welcome addition to the epic storytelling tradition in science fiction.  I'm actually surprised that the novels haven't been made into TV shows or film sooner.  It's a fascinating idea, the Encyclopedia Galactica--to condense the histories, abstract ideas and learning of all humanity, which at the time of the TV series, comprises some 8 trillion individuals spread across the galaxy.  It's also a great theme to begin with, how humans sow the seeds of humanity's demise, and how humanity ultimately survives its own excesses, i.e. the excess of success.  

You will empathize with the performances of Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell and Leah Harvey.  While at times the pace of the show moves slowly, the beautiful imagery and striking cinematography is an ever-entrancing delight to watch!

Glenfiddich 15

 

This isn't something for the faint hearted.  I found it to be bold and exciting.  Yet it was smooth.  Glennfiddich 18 has always been a favorite among my group of friends, probably because it was flavorful, very smooth and easy on the palate.  For gift-giving, I've always chosen the 12 year old bottles, and for years, I've skipped the 15 year old expressions altogether.  That day, the Puregold shop was out of the 18 year old bottles, and I settled for this one.  Not bad at all, I'm happy with the choice!

Derek Muller's Veritasium is a very popular YouTube channel that gives audiences quick insights into science and engineering issues.  Whether he talks about fantastic new materials, black holes, flight trajectories, light, math equations--the subject matter becomes interesting and easy to understand.  I've always been a proponent of idea simplification as a means to stimulate learning with younger audiences, and I think Muller's channel is doing a fine job!
