I thought she did as good a job as most science narrators.

I suspect she was chosen as much for her looks as for her ability to
prounced the big words correctly. (Which is a shame, because she's
quite qualified as an astrophysicist, too. But that's television.)

In
fact I was impressed by the fact that they actually had quite
a few female presenters, rather than mostly male.

That's pretty much a given these days in liberal television (and PBS
certainly is).

As you said the show was a pretty good one. I am always happy
when the NOVA actually does a good show and mostly gets it
right.

As they often do.
