I think Cosmos has suffered a bit in its second incarnation from having too many resources. A couple of the episodes have just been all over the place, from sound waves to subatomic particles to supernovae with hardly any focus except the opportunity to show cool graphics. Carl Sagan had to carefully consider what he wanted to use to fill his time and how it fit together. This episode, linking the pure science of the age of the Earth and the crass denialists of global lead poisoning, was beautiful though.
