I give it four stars because I still enjoy the season very much, as a fan of such documentaries.

However, the standards set in Season 1 and especially Season 2 (which was superb and an amazing expansion of season 1), are not always met here. Some of the episodes for the first time seem to have a lot of filler and come close to being boring.

Lets hope that Season 4 redresses this balance, I have just ordered it on Blu ray too.

I love this series, I really do, season 1 of the Universe is probably the most interesting thing I've seen on TV. By season 3, it seems as though they've run out of things to talk about. Sex in space, really?? Really?? That episode was only worth watching because of the hilarious space docking visual metaphors they would throw in at appropriate times. Alien faces?? Who cares?!

There's interesting stuff here, but it's not up to the quality of the first two seasons. I will still buy season 4 however.

I have been fascinated with the universe all my life. I love this series "The Universe". It explains things in a way that is understandable to anyone. Seeing how Scientists' think or know an object like dark matter or how an spaceship travels at near light speed is really mind boggling to see hypothetically and think about. If anyone has any curiuosity how things are in the universe then this series is the one to get.

The right product at the right price and shipped in a timely manner... doesn't get any better. Bought only the Season 3 disc because I had the others and needed this one to complete the set.

Bought this after a indepth study of the reviews. Was not disappointed a bit as the disc is of awesome quality and worth every dollar

Great group of DVDs, excellent picture quality and a very captivating subject, very well done.

best space biography i have ever watched and i am a space nut,looked fantastic on my 65 in plasma

First, I must say that most facts given or theories discussed are as beyond my comprehension as are the distant galaxies & Black Holes, yet, most of those interviewed or those scientists that are featured on this series are American. As a teacher in the American Public School System, I often drive home from work even more cynical than when I arrived that morning. After hearing and watching many of the scientists featured on this series, I am elated and refreshed by the genius minds of the many young people in this presentation. Yes, the American Public School System is still, very much, in trouble and is what could bankrupt this country if we do not get the politicians out of the decision making processes as well as to revamp curriculum in the very same system. The Public School System caters not to the American born child, rather, plays into the hands of those children of the world, who have just come to the shores of America but speak no english and have much lower learning skills. It is a politicians dream come true and they play into their whims, day in and day out. The American born student is an afterthought and is why America now ranks approximately #37, in the world of education. You can say goodbye to any future universe series, as long as this trend continues. The Universe Series is a mind-blowing phenomenon, creatively presented, however, with, at times, far too many CG charged scenes. I believe with the photos I have viewed, which were taken from the Hubble Space Telescope, there should be fewer times when CG are needed. In any event, the Universe, in BlueRay, is something not to be missed or forgotten and should be studied by young and old. I have not seen the entire series but can emphatically state that I will be ordering the remaining episodes in the series. The one thing it did not have to offer was, Dr. Carl Sagan, a genius, a brilliant, forward thinking mind, lost to the ravages of cancer.
