The Big Chill influenced the TV series thirtysomething. Earlier, however, the movie was directly adapted for television as the short-lived 1985 CBS comedy-drama series Hometown.
Description and Medieval Trebuchet Design One of the Medieval siege weapons used during the Middle Ages was the Trebuchet. The Trebuchet was an invaluable Medieval siege attack weapon, similar to a catapult, which was used for hurling heavy stones to smash castle or city walls.
This year, instead of being a mere catapult observer, why not build your own? Building a basic trebuchet is really not that complex â it consists of a frame, a throwing arm, a counterweight, and a sling. The trickiest parts tend to be determining the sling release point, the bearings to get things rotating smoothly and deciding how big you want it to be.
