When I tuned in to "The Eyes of Nye", I was expecting more of the same "science with a comedic nerd" style stuff that I got from Bill Nye the Science Guy (Science Rules!). Wow, was I disappointed.
I watched my first episode, Genetically Modified Foods, and was expecting a science education, but what I got was an agenda-filled political rant about something that happens to involve science. At least half of the episodes I’ve seen since then have also come with an agenda.
I easily agree with him on most of the positions he takes in the show, but I sure wasn’t expecting what I ended up getting. Oh, and the show averages really glum, too.
I guess he kinda makes no qualms that it’s something of a dressed up op-ed, as even evidenced by the title. And the way he closes. "<the sky falling! we’re all going to die if we don’t get smart!> At least that’s how I see it, and I’ll see you next time on "The Eyes of Nye"."
Now that my expectations have been through a violent, reactive reset, I still mostly enjoy the show. There’s still the campy sense of humor (Science with Mr. Sanders is a particularly twisted (and hilarious) recurring segment of the show), and even mostly good science.
At least that’s how I see it, and I’ll see you next time on "Scott Blomquist’s space".
