History channel series. Well done and I’m learning something every show but holy colostomy bag Costner’s introductions are a beating! Dude reads that teleprompter like a dog who followed its owner to kindergarten and somehow gets called on to read out loud for the class! So yeah, just like Kevin Costner acts. Comancheria episode about Cynthia Ann Parker was good tonight.

The author of The Empire of Summer Moon S.C. Gwynne is featured in the Comancheria episode. I wonder what they cut because it’s a pretty mild interview for Gwynne. Of course, the History Channel dug up some distant relative of Quannah Parker to balance Gwynne. 
 

Is the Comanche were a noble people really a PR campaign now? Because, Jesus Johnny.

I noticed how they left out some key information of the San Antonio massacre of 1840.

I did see an ad for the Comancheria episode that had a lot of shots of people in mountainous places.  Not exactly the Llano Estacado.  That shit always irks me.

Noted, but Comancheria went up to Colorado and New Mexico, so I’ll let it slide.

I could be wrong here, but didn't it basically end at the mountains?  My understanding (from about 8 audiobook listens of Empire during planting and harvest) is that they were relatives of the Shoshones who left the mountains for the south plains, and never really returned to the mountains in any significant capacity.

Plenty of scrub plains in CO and NM.

Yeah, based on the maps not too much topography. They should filmed most of it around Palo Duro Canyon.
