any comments now that the series is completed?
The atheist woman was a whiner. I thought the take on why the black man left was pretty interesting though.
Eight hours out of 700+ filmed is not enough. Way too many people didn't get the credit they deserved. Human drama became more important than actual results and any lessons learned.
The part about Dominic relying on his faith, and realizing how important it was to him, and going back to study to perhaps join the clergy was a surprise.
I think they all pretty much sucked at fishing.
I think several proved they were more than capable at being able to survive back then - I was impressed by Don Wood, the girl who tracked the chicken/eggs, Jack the company guy, etc.
The leftists ruined it for me.
The atheists and the hen-pecked Hippie Governor and his insufferable wife took over the show.
The Colony lost money on trade with the natives.
The original Plymoth Colonists build a defensive stockade and other structure such as a blockhouse for defense of the Colony.
No Guns? Where were the Matchlocks? The original Colonists did not assume the Natives would be friendly, they would have trained with weapons,set up a watch,and an alarm in case of attack.
If there was a country called Woodstock, and they wanted to set up a Colony where everyone would get back to nature and sit around and talk about their feelings, this would have been it.
P.C-P.B.S needs to realise that History is not improved by Liberalism.
They would have been the first to go home,get slaughtered by the Natives,or be banished by the other Colonists.
My $.02 is that it was a great idea and I enjoyed the series at the beginning until liberalism and PC crap swallowed up what was actually a great idea for a series. As usual PBS screwed up a good thing. On Monday when the liberal CA hippie pastor turned governor called a meeting and wanted to discuss how everyone was feeling, that was my exit. I could tolerate no more.
