My agency tells me there's no market for American history in entertainment.
Maybe if the English history show becomes a hit on Showtime, you can sell that one.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Not from Hamilton's time anyway -- the short pants and powdered wigs are a turn off today. ETA: But a nice WWII "adventure" could be popular. (I wonder how "The Great Raid" is doing at the box office. I didn't much like the movie -- it succeeded in making dull a spectacular actual event.)
Oh, dear. I thought my eyes would be safe in here. I was just looking for some killing.
Oh, your poor eyes. Yes, enough with this sex! Bring on some violence!!

Is it an evil transformer? You know, with plans to take over the world -- or at least northern California?

But it's historical bestiality! It's meaningful!
17th c. bestiality: sex and death two distinct parts of the process. 21st c. bestiality: one-stop shopping for sex and death. That's Progress with a capital P.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not to mention Peritonitis.
