A fascinating show that presents satellite imagery of unusual looking objects and then posits questions as to what we are looking at. They give you the location that you can look up on Google maps, so you can be interactive with the show. Clever that the answer is not given right away, as it causes the viewer to actually wonder what it is that is being examined. Sometimes they can get a closer look, and determine what it is, but other times the area is simply inaccessible.
I've ended up purchasing all the seasons on Amazon, and I watch the episodes repeatedly. I've always loved looking at maps, and since I find that I look up the locations on google maps and frequently then look up and read more about the locations, I find this show intelligent and thought provoking.
To address some other comments; A scientist wearing an 'Aperture Labs' shirt means only that they may be a sci-fi fan or possibly shop at Thinkgeek. I have an Initech mug. Big deal. That's not a valid criticism. Also, I'm rating this as a 10 as I not only consider this to be among my favorite shows and that is my legit rating, but I need to offset giving a 1, as that reveals more about the lack of intelligence of the reviewer than the show itself. A 1 should be reserved for manufactured garbage like The Bachelor or Keeping up with the Kardashians.
