I like the Baptist preacher (elected as governor) sticking it to the feminists and punishing them (the colony is governed by real 17th century laws....no blasphemy, have to attend the Sabbath etc). Those uppity women really got it good, as well as those people who hate authority and tried to undermine the governor. Pretty funny stuff seeing these people get their just desserts.
It is a pretty engrossing show. I definitely recommend watching it...it is really interesting seeing 20th century people try to adapt to 17th century life.
It is something I would have enjoyed doing......really wish I could have tried out for it.
The Oprah scenes will not appear in the show; she only showed up to get the experience. It will not be actually shown on tv.
I do agree with you,though,that the show should be watched and the minister from Texas is pretty good about most things.He was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line,when he knew that the guy was going to take off and not only let him,but didn't tell the rest of the council about it and then gave him what amounted to a gentle touch on the hand,as punishment.
