We were introduced to Kinge George, Benedict Arnold, Robert Townsend, and Peggy Shippen.
Not only is Simcoe a psycho he is officially a bad ass.
One time ping for interested parties.
Watching on DVR tonight. It is up against Bates Motel and the Returned
LOL! When Simcoe says “fall in”, you better fall in.
Okay, I DVRd, and I’ve only watched the first 15 minutes, but I can tell that someone took to heart the criticism that last season started slow. The episode is off to a great start, and I can’t wait to see the rest of it.
Major Hewitt is after Anna! I really do like the guy.
And I am so glad to hear Simcoe is back. I’m looking forward to seeing what he gets up to.
Cripplecreek points out the you can access Episode 1, Season 2 via your computer for the next 2 weeks.
I thought Episode 1 was fascinating and I’m watching it again tonight. I had never heard of the 1st American sculptress, Patience Lovell Wright, before. I had to look her up to find that they went slightly astray in her depiction. But, she was a real spy and a real sculptress. I guess a broken leg wasn’t as dramatic as being sot point blank by the King’s guards.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Revolutionary War ping list.
Women and their sewing circles haven’t changed :-)
Just finished watching last night’s episode via DVR. Looks like it is going to be a good season.
They got Arnold’s character right. He was a commander who thought outside the box and had no room for generals who wouldn’t fight. He was very outspoken, which was to get him into trouble.
I thought it was awesome.

Simcoe Bio

He was a bad ass - his unit conducted several ambushes on
sleeping Patriot outposts
Including one where massacred 40 Stockbridge Indians encamped in the Bronx ......
I just started watching season one on Netflix.
Has Fios on demand changed? I can’t pull it up?
