Not trying to be a buzz kill, read the synopsis of this movie. Paraphrasing, two Europeans come to America three hundred years ago, start cutting trees and causing deforestation, leading to present day global warming. Huh? I do not think anything can be produced anymore without blaming mankind or white men.

I took that as a reference to a very religious, God fearing man. We shall see, Curious here!

The lead up to global warming is when I lost interest. Just tired of all that. Hope it is enjoyable for you. Report back.

My concern about global warming is tempered by the dire warnings, not that long ago, about global cooling and the coming ice age.

No TV/No subscription so it’ll be a while for me.

As far as first contact flicks go, everybody knows “Black Robe” but my own favorite is “The New World”, panned by many. In particular I like Wes ’s role as Powhatan’s brother Opchanacanough, one of the very first Indian leaders to clearly see the writing on the wall, even survived a trip to England to see the king, he was still formidable well into his 80’s.

Having read this thread, I just turned on Barskins. And there are two cute 16 year old dollies in night gowns. And the old battleaxe Mother Superior is calling them in to the back room so she can stick her fingers into their hoo-ha.

WTF? I turned off the tv.

OK, I'm hooked. They showed the first two episodes, but now I have to wait until next Monday to watch episode 3. There is no global warming or climate change BS. It is a bit on the bloody/gruesome side.

I’ve watched the 1st two episodes and they seem a bit dull so far, maybe it will pick up.

Wonder who gets to bang the girl first they found in the woods?

Annie Proulx who wrote the book also wrote Brokeback Mountain.

Anyways, in the book the one guy puts in his three years servitude, marries an Indian woman and his family become the oppressed Indians struggling in a White man’s world.

The other guy ruthlessly builds a fur and timber empire, Anglicizes his name and his family end up as bigwigs in NYC.

The book spans 300 years, I dunno about the series.
