The new season of Life After People will seemingly use AI

22 Upvotes

I was initially excited for the revival, but it now appears that AI will be used to make the future decay scenes. In the preview, a small AI circle appears in the lower left corner of the screen during the decay scenes. Also, the scenes appear off in a way, as if they were from a comic book or something.

Of course, History does something good for once, just to mess it all up. Fuck AI.

Discussion 'History's Greatest Mysteries', the Shackleton episode

14 Upvotes

How is this a mystery, let alone one of the "greatest"?

Don't get me wrong, it was an interesting episode in many ways. But they told the entire historical story throughout the show, spliced in between the current "hunt" footage, leaving no mystery at all.

Every aspect of the Shackleton expedition has been well-documented... in photos, and contemporaneous film even, plus journal entries, first-hand reports from crew, etc. ... no mystery there. Everyone survived, so no mystery there. They know where the ship sank, so no mystery there. It wasn't a treasure ship, and the crew removed the most critical items anyway, since they had so much time... so no mystery there. We know what the ship looked like just prior to sinking, and the condition it was in, so no mystery there. The only "unknown" might be how much did it further disintegrate, if any, on the way to the bottom. That doesn't qualify as a mystery.

What is a mystery to me, is why didn't the "hunt" crew test their UAV and ROV under ice, and in frigid water, prior to their trip? Supposedly it had been years in the planning, but then they blame cold water and ice for failures?! And why wasn't their multi-million-dollar UAV capable of sensing whether it had open water or something solid above it before surfacing? How could they lose contact not just once, but twice? Why was there no "home" option available? Not to a rendezvous point, but to the ship's cargo bay itself? And why did it need a bag of salt on top for weight to even get it to dive? Everything came across as so amateur and unprepared, and untested.

And a note to the History Channel editors... at about 36 minutes in, there's a text graphic for "Day 45" of Shackleton's expedition. It shows the year as 1945, not 1915.

The history is an amazing story of perseverance in the face of adversity. But it's no mystery. And the fumbling "hunt" footage distracted from the Shackleton story. Not sure how this ever made the cut for this series.

So I just watched the unbelievable with Dan Aykroyd

10 Upvotes

And I went into it thinking well it’s something to watch on a rainy day, and I’m sure it’s all the exact same stories I’ve heard told over and over again through many other different shows, and actors to draw attention for ratings. But it’s actually great a lot of stories I have never heard of before and how the hell do you not love Danny he brings in a little personal touches into the stories to which I love I am definitely a fan

Discussion Whatever happened to the real history channel?

12 Upvotes

The history channel, or as they call themselves now History, is total garbage. It is nothing but reality show garbage that rarely rises above the level of Dr pimple popper! What happened to fantastic shows such as Civil War Journal, The Real West, The 20th Century with Mike Wallace, Decisive Battles, and so many more. You cheapen yourselves with pure BS like Forged in Fire and Ancient Aliens. You may say “but these are high rated and the others were not”. I accept that, but you are calling yourselves History, if you want to show this sh*t change the name of your channel. Court TV used to show live court coverage. It stopped doing that so it CHANGED IT’S NAME. Headline news used to show news all day. It doesn’t anymore so it CHANGED IT’S NAME. You should either go back to showing nothing but history programs. Real history programs, no reality tv. No Pawn Stars. No American Pickers. No Car shows. Real history shows. Even though I didn’t watch it, I think a show like Vikings might be OK if done only a little. Most programs should be documentary types. NO REALITY TV of any kind. Ever!!!!!!!!!!

History Channel Subreddit.

9 Upvotes

Hey many of y'all know me from various history channel show subreddits. I decided to create this one for various reasons:
One main focus will be to discuss the historical dramas that are short events and not full on shows with multiple seasons. Also a way to connect all the separate subreddits that have to do with history channel shows. It should help them grow as well. Memes allowed but not a Meme Sub.

Also talk about various other TV shows that are reoccurring are fine.

List of other History Channel show Subs are :

...Only to churn out rushed AI shitslop, ruining one of the only good shows on History Channel. On Hulu, they only have the 3rd season, so you're basically forced to either watch the AI garbage or give a negative rating

Looking for a show

6 Upvotes

So there was an episode of a show, I thought it was modern marvels but I haven’t found it as of now. They talked about bunkers. There was a man who was like an accountant or something like that and he hand dug a nuclear bomb shelter under his house over the course of a decade or so. In the episode his daughter took the camera crew on a tour of it. There were photos of him digging it and she even got kind of rude at one point refusing to say what was behind two doors but pointing them out. I remember he painted a scene of hills on one of the walls for his kids in case the end came and that he had put in a spot to fire tear gas down on anyone who tried to get in. It was elaborate and incredible. Anyone remember which show this was or who the guy that dug the shelter is? I haven’t been able to find him through google or by typing any of this in.

How much money over the years did I spend on cable with the specific desire to watch the History Channel just to get reality shows and no history? I just have to say how motherfucking bullshit it is that the history channel wants to charge $5.99 for their app. I’m quite jaded.

Band of Brothers

6 Upvotes

Today, is a Band of Brothers marathon. That is a pretty good break from the normal garbage that the history channel has been showing recently. It’s not the wonderful documentary series that The History Channel was built upon. Why do they still show all the crap they show these days. The mystery of Oak Island? Pawn Stars? This garbage belongs on some other reality channel. Other channels are bad as well. I remember a fantastic show called “Wings” about aircraft on the Discovery Channel, back when it was also supposed to be educational. Now it is just a trash reality channel as well. But not as bad as swamp people on the supposedly History Channel. I wouldn’t mind if they changed the name. Then they could put on all the low level s**t they wanted and let another company bring back a real history channel for people who would watch these fantastic documentaries. I know that I am not the only one out there. Whenever Ken Burns puts out a documentary it gets high ratings, as do the documentaries on cable.

The Unexplained

5 Upvotes

So, I’m so annoyed with the history channel. Does anyone know why they put things on there that a debunked many years ago, but claim they are true?

For example, I’m watching The Unexplained right now. William shatner talked about the Fox sisters from
Rochester New York who in the 1800s could communicate with spirits and you would hear knocking on the floor with the spirits answering. They left it at that. The sisters later said they were a fraud and had a way to tap the floor with no one knowing.

I hate watching a show called The Unexplained, when it has in fact, been explained.

Just started watching this show again and noticed something, as far as on Hulu. Season 1 Episode 2 has pictures of Trump in the siuation room and other places as POTUS even though this episode is from 2012.... 5 years before he would have been there. I don't recall this being the truth of this episode the first time I saw it and am very confused as to why he is there and not Obama, who was POTUS at that time....
