We're really enjoying
Jason Colavito's reviews of The History Channel's hilarious/infuriating hit show Ancient Aliens.
What makes them better than the average blog? Colavito is an author who
has written extensively about the anthropology of pseudoscience, and
the connections between pseudoscience, religion, and science fiction. So
his recaps are less about debunking the claims made on
Ancient Aliens
(because, really, that's just too damn easy) and more about exploring
where those claims come from, pop-culturally, and what makes them so
appealing, to begin with. Fascinating stuff.
