Has anyone else been watching this series on the Science Channel? I have found it interesting hearing the back stories of the authors and the perspectives they wrote from. I have to say that Jules Verne's story was still the one that amazed me the most so far.

I did catch the Robert A. Heinlein one, it was nice, but I kinda wish they focused more on the political and societal aspects of Heinlein's stories and less on the technical aspects. They made him seem like Arthur C. Clarke, which I don't think is the case. Although I haven't seen the episode, I found it a little strange George Lucas was included, not only because he's still alive but also because I feel the Star Wars saga isn't really a comment on humanity or its future. Unless of course most of the episode focused on THX-1138, but like I said I haven't seen it.
