"The truth is, we haven't really changed all that much at all. We've got rid of them speaking in old dialects and old languages, but the truth is we haven't learned anything from the past. We're still brutishly invading other countries, we're still having gender bias, and we're still thuggishly burning down the villages of people we don't like. We haven't changed. So in terms of trying to make it accessible to a modern audience, I think there are enough parallel themes that are there. I think the truth is what we're trying to do is hopefully make people go, "Hahaha, we should really try to change that."

— DAVID OAKES (on how period pieces make characters from over a thousand years ago feel relevant to modern audiences)
