I can't say that I share cgod's intensity, but I also am not much of a Tyson fan either. I can't really put my finger on it. I'll have to watch some more clips... But he leaves me with the impression that he is talking down to his audience, and I've never heard a really unique perspective from him.
I suppose that might be it. He seems to have picked up the armchair astrophysicist circuit, but doesn't bring much of a personal voice to the table. Mostly he is just rehashing common knowledge, and making a few jokes along the way. He doesn't strike me as a dreamer, and there are thousands of people with the knowledge he shares. That might be harsh. I'll watch some more.
