The episode is what you would get if you dropped some creationist propaganda, Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods and stock footage from Jurassic Fight Club into a blender. Given my restrictions, I have little choice but to try to encapsulate the shiny, documentary-format rubbish in a more coherent and reader-sensitive way. If they did, my entire review would be little more than a string of expletives. I’m actually glad that my editors don’t allow me to cuss a blue streak on this blog.

But then I heard the History Channel’s slurry of pseudoscience had taken on dinosaurs. Or, at the very least, watching the show would kill about as many brain cells as a weekend bender in Las Vegas. I had a feeling that if I watched the show-which popularizes far-fetched, evidence-free idiocy about how human history has been molded by extra-terrestrial visitors-my brain would jostle its way out of my skull and stalk the earth in search of a kinder host. Until now, I have assiduously avoided Ancient Aliens.
