The French Revolution Retold Through Fear

But you already covered the French Revolution?  Why bring up events from 25 years prior to the narrative?

Well, Actually, I’ve covered the French revolution twice.  Once in the France the Enemy arc, covering the situation before ethe Revolution, and then in the French Revolution arc a couple years later.  You might recall I did the agricultural revolution that way.  3 times rather than one deep eight-episode arc.  And one episode there was about mood.  The one where the people pushed off the land by enclosures and other efficiencies, have to change their lives, even when they do not want to.

And the modern farmer who gets $1 million in an eminent domain settlement, says I WAS a rich man yesterday.

The French revolution needs this treatment too.   We covered the Great Fear, in both of the other arcs and we must do it again, and expand it to the Great Panic.  In this third look we will sink into emotion, and for a time deprive ourselves of the false force of Reason, because that’s what happens in life sometimes.

Plus, much classical music and other music uses repetition in groups of three and I wrote a novel, Ghosts of the Multiverse, were all the most important things happened 3 times in some way and most happened twice.
