Review of Ancient Aliens

Ancient Aliens (2009– )
1/10
Stale bread galore after several series. Please kill the serial now.

I watched the first ten (or so) series and was fascinated with lot of theories and such. However, the serial has "run out of fresh ideas" and started to recycle or repack the already-presented theories again and again in the subsequent series.

A few worst things about Ancient Aliens is Giorgio's persistence in saying "quote unquote" so often that it has gotten overtly irritating. Another this is frequent "perhaps the clue could be found in..." It's as if the scriptwriters couldn't come up with better ways to present the information or ideas. Sometimes, they get the facts wrong such as Abilene being 180 miles EAST (instead of west) of Dallas.

When they came up with the "round table discussion", that was the last straw for me. Poor William Shatner who was one of the participants in the first of many discussions. Three of stalwarts (Giorgio, Ariel Tzadok, and David Childress) blaring at each other nonsensically, and William looked like he was wondering, "What am I doing here? Why did I bother accepting the invitation to come here?"

"Edge of Wonders" is much better and more interesting than "Ancient Aliens".
