I saw it too
will be good to see all the old tools and ways of doing things that will appear in the background and did in the last episode, axe heads, fire steels, sugar loafs, old ways of storing food. It looked like something pretty serious was going to happen to one of the people the way the first episode ended, I hope no one dies
but that would bring I closer to the original reality of the 1600s

I wonder if they "remove " someone to "simulate" the mortality rate. It was something they dwelt upon.
Could be but by the state of some of the others it sounded prety serious maybe it was just good editing and production but it certainly got me wanting to watch.
"such men as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh made huge profits from overseas adventures."
Yes, because they were originally nothing short of glorified 'licensed' pirates...
Anyway, let's hope that they remember that the people on the Mayflower and the like, were 'well off' townies, and not country folk who would have been accustomed to 'surviving' in hospitable environments. So could you imagine the average city trader and the like doing a similar type thing today? No wonder they needed the turkeys...

Watched it but didn't like what the mayors wife said when somebody asked her if the Indians were dangerous
"Have you not watched the 10 o'clock news!"
Its this mentality that has seen the demise of indiginous people all over the planet.
Obviously the mayors wife lives in her nice,safe and white suburbia and takes her 2.4 kids to football practice in her V20 gas guzzzling all terain tank while the true Americans live in segragation and poverty having seen there land stolen from them.
Next time she sits down to her thankgiving dinner she should remember who she's giving thanks too!(The indians who helped her forfathers through the early years that she is now re-enacting).
Sorry for going off on one but that just gets by back up

But remember that reflects the sort of predjudice that the pilgrim fathers suffered from as well.

Well it certainly was serious. Horrible thing to happen to anyone, but it looks like the family are coming back to the program - beats me why, though..
