Do we read anything into this being on a channel called 'Blaze' in the UK whereas here in the colonies it's on the History channel?

channels on Freeview terrestial tv come and go and change names. On Blaze there are shows like "Alaska: Mysteries unsolved" "Curse of the Skin walker Ranch", "Legends of the Pharoes" "American Restoration" - seems to a yank show about restoring old things like a 1930's photo booth. to name a few. There used to be a History Channel long gone. All these off beat tv channels are wanting eyeballs for their adverts, so the identify an audience for a time

Yeah all of those are History channel in the states. I just meant it was probably telling that we yanks are supposed to consider them history while in the UK they're something to watch when blazing.

well lots of channel names like Yesterday, PBS America, Quest, a whole series of Great! /movies/action/tv/romance that maybe around for a few months or a year. Why Blaze who knows just sounds exciting all competing for eyeballs? There was/is a channel mostly dealing with rednecks doing the wilderness game in Alaska, worrying about finding a moose to see them over winter etcI rarely watch any of the stuff

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

@Lighton, the goal was to do a discussion split and focus the conversation in on Ancient Aliens, and leave the Blaze TV conversation in General Discussions where it was, (because it derails the conversation) then connect this forum to the Next-Ep Ancient Aliens show page. 

Like this:

https://next-episode.net/ancient-aliens
https://forum.next-episode.net/viewforum.php?id=97

Maybe just undo everything, and leave the Blaze TV conversation back in general discussions and keep this forum dedicated to discussing Ancient Aliens episodes.

(Note: This show is not a Blaze TV show, it's a History Channel show, Blaze TV is just piggy backing off the content, like Amazon or Tubi, etc.)

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

I updated the thread title/ removed Blaze. There's no undo button, so let's leave it like this. merc did say he mostly wanted to discuss this show anyway.

That would link the whole TV Show Discussions part of the forum. cool But you are right, I initiated the link, see https://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopi … 41#p177641.

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

The only trouble with this is  that "Ancient Aliens" was just one part of the UFO story that Blaze was boadcasting, dealing with more contemporary matters not part of that show so I think the title should be broadened to include "Contemporary Aliens" or "Modern Aliens"

Ya, ugh, this forum is such a mess, that's why I was suggesting we split the thread, like where you started talking about Puma Punko - S04E06 of Ancient Aliens could be an interesting break off point for all the viewers of Next-Ep to have an outlet to rant about Ancient Aliens because ranting and throwing things at your TV is why you watch Ancient Aliens in the first place, lolz, and have another more broad forum in General Discussions for all the UFO/Bob Lazar/Aliens/Paranormal/Unexplained TV shows that use the 'pseudoscientific' method.  Ancient Aliens needs it's own forum as half the show is viewing beautiful historical places and the other half is listening to wacky theories about it, lolz, big_smile, which could become a fun discussion here with our own wacky theories.  I suppose the problem is that at this point, the show is already 13 years old, and the conversation would be more of a rehash.

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

well I watched a great eps today:"Space Station Moon" Hilarious. So the fact that there can be a total eclipse of the sun by the moon due to distances and sizes being just righr,meaning the moon 100% covers the sun, for the "ancient alien theorests" is proof the moon was put there by some one. Furthermore the fact that all the craters are fairly shallow, no real deep ones, shows that there must be some thing really hard underneath the dust - must be a hollow metal shell so the moon is reallly a VERY  large space ship with probably aliens cities inside. That the dust is made of certain minerals is just what you would use to protect from meteorites and also conceal the prescence of the ship. These shows are the best "X files" quite literally "The Truth is out there"
