When they say the Universe they aren't kidding. This massive 14 disc set contains the History Channels The Universe Season One, Season Two, The Planets and How The Earth Was Made plus two bonus documentaries Inside The Volcano, and Beyond The Big Bang. Add on a bunch of featurettes and additional footage and you have one stellar package. What i want to know is why the history chanel has never done a program on why theories are presented this way in the first place. What is it about saying "we just don't know" that freaks us out so badly. I could stomach the whole History Channel approach better if their scientific stuff tackled the tension between the quantifiable and the unquantifiable a little more effectively. Still I wouldn't have passed this monster up on a long shot.
