No, see, that I can get behind. Flights of fancy don't bother me, what else is fantasy tv for? And I can often wave away historical inaccuracies, particularly if the inaccuracies portrayed are technically *possible*, just highly unlikely given the truth of the circumstances. Is it likely an Oxford professor would be fighting the Colonies? Definitely not. Is it *possible*? Yes. And, admittedly, I am not a scholar of early colonial history, so I'm sure there are impossibilities that don't bother me just because I don't know enough to be bothered by them. But truly glaring problems like making a point of having characters speak a different language than Modern English and then having it be the *wrong* language? That rather jerks me out of my complacency. I can forgive them though - eventually :)

and roots, and nuts, and wild things,
and rustlings in the midnight wood,
half-mad, like Myrddin, wandering.
