Brainstorming Session

John and I got together last week and had a brainstorming session for LTH, and discussed what times/places/events we might like to visit in the series. We also came up with a few ancestors of John's we'd like to meet. Here's my rough notes from that session:

• Mexican episode (Aztecs, Zapata, Pancho Villa)
• Production Company name
• Include dog walking nutbag
• William Wallace relative
• Torvald Williams (Heavy metal guitarist for Bad Deth, 1970s LA?)
• Civil War or Reconstruction ("what's this I hear bout you whippin' slaves?")
• Beethoven
• Inventions (clock, cotton gin, Wright Bros, pasta)
• Robin Hood
• Ali Baba
• Caveman (w/subtitles)
• Vikings
• Columbus
• 1930s gangster
• Custer vs Indians
• Gold Rush
• Golden Spike
• NApoleon
• Genghis Khan
• Silk Road
• Crusades
