What's with this obsession with giving black holes "malvolent personalities". I enjoyed it, except for this...weirdness.

Because it is the ender of all things.

Hmmm... upvote for the wicked CGI, but it just seems WAY dumbed down, or something?

I dunno... I couldn't watch the whole thing because it seemed almost condescending.

Black holes for dummies. First they say "nothing can escape them", then they say "what black holes can't swallow they belch out in long streams" with not even the most peripheral explanation.

The ending was scary. I hope I'm not around when that time happens.

I think you are all attacking a show that was really meant for a mainstream non-scientific audience.

Bah, this documentry was written by a noob for noobs.

Also, they only had 30 mins to tell the story.

I reckon you still get the idea... and if the audience wants to know more, they can look in may places for further info.

Is it just me: or does the direct link (bottom right of Google Player) direct straight to the Google Video homepage? I prefer to watch vids like this in the full-screen mode player...

Its unclear, at 16min, what our understanding of the long projections are that extend out... the woman describes the 'jets' near the event horizon as 'funnels' whilst Mr. Neill says the black hole is "belching out" excess material.
