Moving, high-resolution satellite images (8-10 K) are projected, accurate in every detail, onto the globe. In the gigantic interior of the Gasometer our blue planet is brought alive luminously: the round tour through the “Wonders of Nature“ reaches its climax with the view of a 20 metre large globe hovering in the Gasometer’s 100 metre high air space. The highlight of the new exhibition is the Earth itself.

Film sequences from well-known natural science series such as “Planet Earth” enhance the illustrative effect of the images.Ĭonsent to external media The earth from above The renowned international photographers who are represented by the approximately 150 large-format illustrations from the world of flora and fauna in the exhibition, include Ingo Arndt, James Balog, Bence Máté, Jürgen Freund, Axel Hyde, Rob Kesseler, Manfred Kage, Heidi and Hans-Jürgen Koch, Frans Lanting, Tim Laman, David Maitland, Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa, Lennert Nilsson, Ondrej Pakan, Anup Shah, Solvin Zankl and Christian Ziegler. Peter Pachnicke says, “The visitors discover the ingenuity of the biological systems on a large scale and on a small scale and learn about how the forms of life are constantly changing, and how they trick each other and also form alliances with others”. Plants and animals have conquered the deepest depths and great heights, they grow to a majestic size and fill even the smallest niches in microscopic minuteness. Given the sluggishness of recent episodes, I'm hoping the reverse is true this time around.Life makes our planet a unique place. Last year, the show's first half was much better than its second. The second best is that it forces the show to build certain stories to a climax and take a bit of a fresh start when it comes back in the spring. The best thing about the split season approach ABC has taken of late with “SHIELD” is that we'll get “Agent Carter” back next month. Brett Dalton's definitely been a more interesting performer as a villain than he was as a hero, but I don't see enough in the guy for the show to keep bending over backwards to keep him around and give him the Fred/Illyria treatment from the final season of “Angel.” And even the satisfaction of that moment only lasted a few minutes, until he re-appeared on Earth, now controlled by Malick's beloved monster.


Coulson using his robot hand to crush Ward, when he could have just left the guy behind on the planet to suffer Will's former fate, showed a degree of commitment, even if Fitz for some reason seemed upset to see Phil do it, despite his own oft-stated desire to murder Ward.

That said, I have to give the show some amount of credit for realizing it had kept Ward alive and in play long past the point where it made any sense. I appreciated Mack acting like a grown-up on this mission who had to keep everyone else in line, but even the big moment where everyone thought he was dead until the containment unit flew out of the castle ruins felt rushed. (Even “4,722 Hours” couldn't resist turning itself into a Fitz/Simmons cock block halfway through.) But most of the characters and relationships are so fuzzily-defined (Daisy and Lincoln are now a couple because of reasons) that the emotional component to each mission makes everyone seem like a high school student with a gun. There are isolated moments of note (May shooting Andrew, Coulson reacting to Rosalind's murder), but even they fall victim to the show's need to give every story and every mission some kind of This Time It's Personal hook, as if they don't trust the mission of whatever SHIELD is supposed to be this week to be compelling enough on its own.

This half-season has featured probably the best “SHIELD” episode to date, but on the whole has been the least I've felt engaged with the series since the fumbling early episodes that were marking time until “Winter Soldier.” As I said in that “4,722 Hours” review, the show is at a point where it does a lot of things decently, but few of them very well, and for the most part this season has landed on a bunch of story ideas and character combinations that have never really clicked. A quick review of the “Agents of SHIELD” mid-season finale coming up just as soon as I compare this place to Tatooine…
