Well, in part, I’m probably just sick of the reality tv formula. Yeah, I mostly read, and just had it on as background. I was surprised that I did not pay closer attention, because both my wife and I were looking forward to it. I’ll watch again, next Tuesday. It’s just that when they sit around at the table, jawing, it always feels scripted to me. I’ll watch again, though.
I’m not sure what magnetic anomalies signify, really. I’ll give it another shot, the owner seems serious about it.
I don’t expect the History channel is serious about anything other than how are the ratings. I actually came to resent their Ancient Alien series. History was my area of study, and I just laugh at the incredible stretches and misinterpretations made in that show. You know I have a life long interest in ufos, but the talking heads on Ancient Aliens basically deny past human cultures could accomplish anything without alien intervention.
So, that’s another factor for me, as a student of history I resent how the History network is willing to butcher the past in the interest of their alternative history. So, maybe that’s a bit of bias against the network on my part. I’ve come to expect fluff over substance. Again, I’ll watch next Tuesday.
