History's Mysteries

This was a show on the History Channel. I just happened to be walking through the living room while it was on. The title reminded me of Men In Black 2 so I stopped and had a look. Plus it was hosted by that Fishburn Matrix guy. It was a segment about the JFK assassination and it was pretty good. It had a lot of details I didn't know about, like Oswald's movements in Mexico City in the months before the shooting, stuff like that.
The next episode was about the Lost Colony in Roanoke. Since we went there during our trip to the Outer Banks I thought it would just as good. It was good...for a while. What they do, format-wise is tell the viewer of the historical event and then explain all the theories, one by one. There's never any real answers, if there were we'd hear about it in the regular news long before the History Channel gets hold of it. Anyway, the Roanoke theories are unfolding one by one annnd then they go into supernatural causes for the disappearance of the colonists. That's the moment when I realized I'm watching those Time-Life Books on TV. After that episode there was one on the Bermuda Triangle, talking about wormholes and vortexes and Atlantis garbage. After that there was an episode on UFOs. I checked out right about then. But if you like that stuff it's not bad. There are too many out-of-context video clips and too many short jump cuts and they stuff too much filler and not enough facts in the episodes, but overall I give it....
