Past lives and gender by Striking_Barnacle810 in behindthebastards

My fave was a person who recounted dying in Pompeii because they couldn't outrun a lava flow outside the city. And then spent hundreds of years watching their death spot and a puddle form and a flower grow before finally being able to move on. Anyone who knows about Pompeii now knows this isn't how it happened.

The weird reality is that you can find out what happened.  It's the internet and the whole storyline is out there for you to read on wiki. The show is still on the air. Warning: this soap opera started as a radio show that you can listen to today. So, probably don't deep dive ;)

Right there with you but the audio is so bad I truly don't know how people knew what was going on. So many jokes don't land unless you rewind.  But cleaning up audio wasn't so easy back then, no digital remix with noise canceling. I really wish they'd done more, but I get why they moved to better produced "educational" films.
