WTF? Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 http://www.history.com/shows/the-bibleAny one on here watching it? I don't know why I am watching a bunch of egomaniac, power hungry sub-human barbarians of the stone age trying to sheepel the sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Kind of wanted to watch it but I've read both religious and non-religious people saying that it sucks so I haven't bothered. Is it worth a watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Linguini Occurrence Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 And just earlier today I was thinking it's been a while (in MYGNR terms) since we've had a religion thread. I won't be watching, simply because I've got too many other things to do. The limited amount of time I have available for the telly is occupied by 2 Broke Girls, Big Bang Theory, March Madness and baseball. I guess that makes me shallow?

izzygirl Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The first episode of The Bible is right now on the telly, but I've seen Ice Age 2 is on in another channel, so I don't know if it's good or not but I already know the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevelle Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've watched some of it out of curiosity but it really drags. I figured it'd be easier than actually reading the damn thing but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Whatever happened to those documentaries where they got everything right? I remember watching the Roman Empire series and they keep getting the period wrong. Especially the armor of the Roman soldiers. They didn't keep the giant shields and short swords through the whole history. Swords got longer and shields rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 King David was a ginger I believe so you lot can't be that bad.Whatever happened to those documentaries where they got everything right?

Grrrrrrr!!!!! *deep breath* Yes, we Gingers are the children of Satan and have no soul. Esau, son of Isaac, is a redhead. He's described as a hunter who has "rough qualities". David, ancestor of Jesus, was called "admoni and handsome in appearance". Admoni is reddish-brown, indicating David's heroic nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Vikings are cool though. I haven't watched the series but it is nice whenever they do anything medieval. They did The Dark Ages and Barbarions but they fail to do the periods justice. I consider the Middle Ages anything but dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highlights weren't very notorious but it was obvious that the actor had some mild highlights. I was trying to find the video on youtube but I can't. Anyway, I agree with you. I'm tired of the same documentaries all the time. it should be nice to watch something different from time to time. And there are some ancient civilisations that were really amazing.

Georgy Zhukov Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 They usually do something when a major hollywood picture is based on the event. Like Apocalypto got all these channels to cash on Mayan interest.Even in Americas there was more to it than nomadic Indians, Mayans and Aztecs. There was a Cahokia culture that served one of the largest gatherings in Native American history. The Europeans were so surprised by the remains of the city they insisted it was Welshmen who sailed from Wales all the way up the Mississippi and got people together. Trying not to give people credit. Like those who insist aliens built the pyramids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The Assyrians, Phoenicians and Celts don't count as popular history? I mean sure they aren't Julius Caesar and his Greco-Persian backing band but they're still rather prominent no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
