I was looking forward to this, especially since they're factoring in stuff from the recently discovered "Lost Book of Nostradamus" (there's only been one show on that a few years ago, which didn't go over many of the drawings). But this series is scientifically sloppy and ignorant, making absurd statements - such as one volcanic eruption being able to trigger a whole series of other volcanoes along the ring of fire (no, every volcano is totally individualistic), or that a Kilauea eruption would effect California (oh please, Kilauea eruptions barely effect the city of Hilo on the same island; also Kilauea magma is runny not highly explosive). This series is full of breath-taking poorly reasoned claims and seems more interested in being sensational than being intelligent. I also don't like the Nostradamus experts they have, except for Victor Baines. They're too much from the woo-woo brigade. This is disappointing because I know there are intelligent Nostradamus researchers out there who can explain how they arrive at their conclusions instead of just making grand declarations. For instance, why they think that "New City" is generally considered to refer to the US (what? I thought everyone considered that to be New York City - but no context or reasoning is given). They all think they know *just* what Nostradamus was thinking, and almost never give us reasoning how they got there. I'm still watching this for the very few of Nostradamus' quatrains and very few drawings from the "Lost Book of Nostradamus" they do refer to. But I have to put up with a lot of sensationalistic crap to get at these few interesting scraps.
