I'm super glad and impressed that they didn't just immediately assume that this skeleton meant women fought alongside the men. They actually said maybe this skeleton belonged to someone who identified as a man, especially since the grave contents suggested this was a commander. Either possibility is interesting.

I was hooked from beginning to end. It was really interesting to see all the work behind the scenes, and I was impressed with how much time and money James Cameron went into continuing his research of Titanic after the movie. There's been a lot of advances in the 20 years since they filmed the movie, so of course we're able to learn more about what really might have happened.

Too many shots of humans, not enough sharks and pretty corals until toward the end. There are some really pretty scenes, but I was bored, and still too many shots with the divers ruining it. I didn't learn anything new or interesting. I just hope that a bunch of stupid humans didn't head out to these islands after this aired.
