I see - personally, I wouldn't be one to watch it (again, very psycho-emotionally traumatized and very squeamish), but I'm very glad that you enjoy it, since it ties in so heavily to your fondness and love of folklore and mythology (I'm very interested in mythology and history, as well - I wrote a whole 15-page-long treatise on world-history a long while ago, and I regularly debate with my elder brother on world-history as well).
I dunno, I'm a bit of a nerd if you can't tell :)
