Are any of y'all watching these "Athelstan's Journal" minis that the History channel is spitting out? The ones where Athelstan is keeping an actual, bound (paper? parchment?) journal that he's writing in, along with some lovely charcoal sketches of Ragnar and Lagertha.
I think this is all of them? Athelstan's Journal on YouTube. (No idea if its region-locked, and doesn't appear to be captioned, at least not on mobile.)
In one of the ones I cleared off the DVR tonight (family?), near the beginning he refers to "a consolation devoutly to be wished," because what's the point of riffing on history if you can't rip off some Shakespeare on the way, right?
I shouldn't complain, though, because I would probably prefer a full length season that was just Athelstan narrating over everything, Wonder Years style.
I can't remember whether I linked to An Historian Goes to the Movies when I found it (via![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
metanews possibly? or possibly googling for things for that yuletide snippet I wrote). So, now I've linked to it!
