I was actually fooled for half a minute into thinking Floki had killed Torstein, even after we saw that Rollo was still alive. Either very well played on the show's part or very poorly watched on mine, not sure which. But most likely the latter.

Loved Brunhilde's reaction to Lagertha's saying she killed her husband. A friendly slap on the arm and a "Oh, you!"

You're not the only fan of Beth's. I've always found her pretty intriguing and, while there's no room for it in the show as it's shaping up, I'd have liked to see more of her story. Especially since, as someone else here's mentioned, she seemed the linchpin between clones with fairly disparate personalities (a role…

The pronunciation might just be the difference between a name as it's spoken and as it's yelled.

Eh, I'm not surprised. Animorphs seems like a uniquely '90s phenomenon. But maybe that's just my childhood talking.

Well, Miriam Lass proved that the show's not shy about putting a piece back on the board long after it seems it's been taken off. And the silence on the matter seems more hopeful than the instant confirmation we got of Katz's death (though the stakes and investment there were markedly different).

Scottish actor Robert Carlyle?

Aslaug's expression when Bjorn's first noticing Thorunn, offscreen, felt to me like the face you'd make showing your kid the cool car you'd just bought him. Might just be me being uncharitable, though. I did get the happiness you mention after that. And it does feel like Aslaug's making some strides out of…

At "Why must we save your brother?" I actually said, "Shut up, Floki." And then I was aghast at myself. What have things come to?

Don't know if anybody will get the reference, but — the title of the show doesn't put me in mind of the movie so much as it does Alissa Nutting's Tampa. I'd have loved to see someone make a TV show out of that.

How I felt anytime he came on screen: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

This has nothing to do with anything but my god was I sick of seeing Horik's son these last few episodes. The little shit was everywhere.

I actually liked it. Not because Lance was beaten, obviously, but because the response reflects his everyman status. If someone
comes up at you swinging a nightstick, you're probably not going to pull out some brilliant move to beat him or even be able to hold your own, at least not for too long. More likely you'll get…

Something about Katie Cassidy's bizarre squint after the line "Your father will be released within the hour on his own recognizance" just killed me. And man, was Paul Blackthorne's speech just a delight in this episode.

Reason #32957905 to love this show: the way Bob just melts anytime he's accepted by a group, even if (or especially when) they initially merit only his disdain.

Yes for Speakeasy — Tompkins is great there. I actually strongly disliked him until I watched those videos, having only been familiar with him from those old VH1 shows about what stupid things people loved in different decades. (Which, yes, is rather unfair.)

I was doing pretty well keeping track of things. Then the lobotomy scene in "Takiawase" scrambled my brain.

It was. Sorry — fuzzy memory.

Bob's "I walked down the stairs…Gene — will you come down here for a sec?" just killed me.

"The simplest explanation as to why he can describe Hannibal Lecter's home is that he was in Hannibal Lecter's home." And with that line, Chilton becomes a better detective than Jack Crawford. In all seriousness, though, I do like that Jack's working his way to the truth, though I'm dreading that the knife to the neck…
