      - Agreed on much, and some answers below. spoil - Spawn Apr 4, 08:42
      - About the timeline..(spoilers) - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 08:31 2
        
        Aha. That makes more sense. I'm not sold entirely but it makes more sense. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 4, 08:43 1

        It seems pretty much in sync with this Horrible Histories song -- (link) - LMS Apr 4, 08:18 [youtube]
        
        half the fun is going to Wiki and follow along. We see characters who are either real people, in the show doing big things or real people who will. - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:10 1
