Which was good, because History Channel was running a week-long Warship: 360 marathon. According to her dad, History Channel had been getting worse and worse until the abyssals attacked, when they suddenly discovered that history made great ratings.

I'm sad now. I used to love the History Channel...:cry:

Minimu glanced up from the jumbo-sized marshmallow she'd been attempting to eat for the past hour and a half. So far no progress had been made, the itty-bitty battleship would just smash her face into the giant confectionery and gnaw on it with her tiny teeth for a while, then pull herself away and mumble an angry "MU!" in the hopes of intimidating it into cooperating. And then the process would repeat again to similarly unimpressive results.

Jane flipped open the box, and found what could only be described as a smol Arizona. Yes, "smol", not small. This Arizona was barely six inches tall, with little stumpy legs that splayed out on the bottom of the box and little stumpy arms that somehow clung to a donut big enough for her to lounge in.

Interestingly, the only donut left in the box was the one the girl Jane decided would now be known as smolzona was trying to eat. She could've sworn there were two in there last time she checked. "Where did the other one go?"

...Puchicolle is BB!canon now.
That desperate for WAFF and comedy, are we? Well, I can't be too harsh on you, since you did have artwork of it prexisting.

Jane didn't know what to think about that. Besides, she was too busy watching the latest episode of Saratoga: 360 to care. Jane liked Saratoga, which wasn't saying much because she liked all the ships. But still, she had a big pile of the Changing Destiny books by her bed—and even more that she'd loaned out to ship as far as Yokosuka. Jane really wanted to meet Saratoga some day.

I see the Sky bullying continues apace.
 
I jumped ship to Military Channel (god, I miss Discovery Wings too...that thing was my childhood man) after all the alien stuff. Then that became American Hero's Channel which is a bit too 'MURICA for me. And it's mostly reruns.

Which is why I just watch old docs on Youtube :V

(and the odd BBC one. They had a really good Jutland doc recently)

I never thought I would say this, but I miss their Hitler Phase.

Tell me about it. At least it was history.

Even in the early days of the reality phase there was at least informative stuff.

Ah, the days when Shootout, Dogfights, and the Lost Evidence were back to back to back every week. Now the closest it gets is conspiracy theories that Hitler somehow survived.

I finally gave up on the History Channel when they ran that three part special on the leaders of WW2 and how WW1 shaped them. The opening scene of the first part had Hitler shaving his mustache in 1914 so his gas mask would fit properly. Got through the first part by the skin of my teeth; couldn't bear to watch the rest of it.

I miss Dogfights. And I'm really bummed because it has so much potential, but the WW2 generation is quickly dying out.
 


For those who care, the Jutland doc I mentioned. It's a bit pop history but BBC does good by things. Plus it has a model built to Queen Mary's design that tests how tough Brit CCs really were compared to German ones and a bit on how bad Brit powder storage was.


(I find it mildly annoying they just do a flat comparison between QM's ability to resist flooding and Seydlitz' ability to resist flooding. They don't take into account weather conditions or how the hits to Seydlitz being stuck in the exact same spot on QM don't match up in real life. But eh.)
 
There's a really good documentary called Apocalypse: The Second World War also. Made by the Smithsonian, no less.
 
Only on SV can we go from discussing cutes to the decline of the History Channel and what good docs there are to watch :V
