Note that you apparently need a Hexbear account to use Blorptube now.

In any case, this is our penultimate watch party for this show. For our final watch party next week I'm probably gonna start half an hour early, since we'll be watching one more episode than usual. Then the week after that, or two weeks from now, we'll finally start the 1982 sequel series Once Upon a Time... Space — the only non-edutainment show in Barillé's Once Upon a Time... canon, and also one of only two shows in the canon to be included in anime databases due to being a Japanese co-production (the other being 1987's Once Upon a Time... Life)

In any case...

Episode titles: "Elizabethan England" — "The Golden Age of the Low Countries" — "The Great Reign of Louis XIV" — "Peter the Great and His Times" — "The Age of Reason"

Content warnings: Death incl. murder — sexual assault — nudity — animal gore — disease — racist caricatures — religion presented as fact — Eurocentrism

NOTE: Do not treat a nearly 50 year old cartoon as a definitive source on world history! This show was inaccurate even when it was made! We are watching this show to be critical of our nostalgia, understanding it as a product of a particular historical and material context, and understanding that it reproduces harmful narratives about history.
