Hi,<br><br>I just saw the first 2 hour episode of Frontier House and I must say it has really caught my attention.<br><br>Warning Spoilers: If you haven't seen Frontier House be warned that some of the following has spoiler information (important revealing information that may ruin the show for you if you learned it before viewing the show).<br><br><br><br>What did I like? <br>-I liked the concept.<br>-I like that it isn't a game. It is only people against nature.<br>-I like the historical narrative.<br>-I loved watching the people realize how difficult life was in 1883.<br>-I loved how one of the pre-teen boys chose to make a latrine rather than complain about it like his sibling(s).<br>-I loved the irony that a starving homesteader family was rescued from starvation by the desendents of Native American (Indians), whose ancestors were actually driven from that very land at gunpoint by past homesteaders.<br>-And I loved Nate and Rudy Brooks. I find it amusing that the Black (African American) guys, who in some situations today would be looked down on, were actually the most likable. They were cooperative, they were compassionate, they were sociable, they never complained. Nate's confession of his love for his father had tears welling up in my eyes.<br><br>What didn't I like?<br>-I DO NOT like Mark Glen and I especially DO NOT like karen Glen. If you've seen the show then you know why. They have demonstrated several times how contradictary and contempual they are. The closest discription of them I can find is greedy and two-faced. karen offers to put the Clunes up for a few nights while they get their cabin built, but then gets offended when they say no thank you. karen gets upset when she finds out that the Clunes are getting low on food. She promptly shows off her stockpile of rations for the camera. Mark demands the Clune children take their cow off his land and milk it on their own land after they have hiked a mile in wet clothes through 1 foot of snow. After being told the cow had escaped in the night, he responds, "Well, you should have come and taken it back." How could they have known the cow had escaped until they woke up in the morning? There are too many reasons to list why I didn't like Mark and karen.<br>-I do not like how every other time we see Adrienne Clune, she is crying over really small things. Example: She can't wear make-up.<br>-I do not like Gorden Clune's complaining. I really do think he and Adrienne are spoiled by their pampered, wealthy, Southern California lifestyles.<br>-I do not like the Clune's teenage girls' uncooperativeness. They were told to leave all modern items behind, yet they smuggled make-up in, thinking that no one would notice them wearing it.<br>-I do not like the homesteaders being provided with Russian made rifles. I don't think that is very authentic.<br><br>Expect more as the other episodes air.<br><br>Thanks and feel free to comment.
