Someone earlier said something about not learning from TV but to pick up a book. They couldn't be more right. It might be interesting to note that THC is owned by General Electric Corp. who also owns NBC and several other networks and stations. GE is a corporation interested in profts. As far as TV is concerned, the point is to keep you entertained, so you tune in, and they can make ratings which translate to big advertising dollars. 300 was a popular movie which made a lot of money. The execs at THC, or whoever had the idea, figured that if they make a series based on a popular movie, it will get good ratings, just lke the spartan special they aired during the release of 300 did. Their job is not to be accurate, their job is to make money. There is crap peddled for truth on TV every day on the network news, why should the history channel be any different. Use TV for what it is, entertainment. But again, we should all be happy that we are intelligent enough to know the difference.
