You're askin some dangerous questions there boy-o. Aye dangerous questions indeed. You'll find yourself dancin at the end of the kings rope if you don't learn to keep your trap shut.

Just two episodes in and the characters in Turn are already becoming iconic. This one, Col. Rogers of the Queen's Rangers, seems to be pretty accurately portrayed as a semi-drunken but clever Scots-Irish frontiersman. Willing to do whatever for the King's coin, not unlike the bas****s in so many modern Federal agencies. The information I've been able to find about the real Col. Rogers is fascinating. He captured Nathan Hale (probably the only Revolutionary War American spy most people had ever heard of before this series began airing) and tricked into him putting his neck in the noose. But was otherwise a raging alcoholic who died penniless after going back to England with other defeated Loyalists.
