That's an edgy choice! Most people with go with oyster crackers there.

I believe Wings was the show that taught me to sing, "walking in our winter underwear," to the holiday classic. I'll always remember it fondly for that alone.

Broca's Brain was pretty awesome as I recall. Sagan was also keen to debunk pseudoscience, so he goes into a lot of depth on subjects like, Velikovsky's idea that Venus (the planet) was somehow spontaneously ejected from Jupiter (again, the planet) sometime within human history. Any astronomer knows that this is a…

Well, dangit, I remember being underwhelmed, but not exactly why. Now you've made me want to watch it again.

And waay behind Galaxy Quest.

I think you must mean, "a lot of bacon and eggs."

Well, (SPOILERS!) he gets off Mars at the very end of the book, but not back to Earth. So presumably this sets up a sequel for problems encountered on the way home.
