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.)


Not to mention the creepy shot of her high-heeled shoes and the S&M collar she was wearing.
