Yes, I forced myself to watch a few parts of it. It was beyond terrible. "Historical experts" spewing "facts" that are questionable or downright wrong in some instances. Horrible CGI effects and acting. It's the kind of crap the History Channel does NOT need, they're trying to attract younger (sorry guys) viewers who prefer flash and no substance, to the older crowd that prefers more intellectual stimulation.
I miss the WWII documentaries.
I remember when I was eleven I stayed up late watching a special on the Eastern Front. Fun times, learned a lot.
i stopped watching after the scene of a mimicking barca... its aweful

Megavideo isn't a thrustworthy flash player. It contains most of the time virusses. Believe me, I experienced it first hand.
I've had a member report that megavideo has virus troubles. Use at your own risk.

Good grief. "Thiss issQuote:

Seriously, what a load of unadulterated crap. Just when we managed to get rid of the worst cliché's about Dzenghis Khan, they give us Hannibal from Hell. What's next? Alexander the Barbarian? The House on Scipio Street?

Except at mark 4:17, that guy sucks. THC always makes the mistake of asking writers, not only historians.

This is Sparta indeed.
He did command a force of Pezhetairoi on the field of Chaeronea, but that's the only instance I remember of him fighting on foot.Quote:
