I sympathize completely. Any time my mom and dad were in the same room it gave me a very uneasy feeling, but then again I don't have many memories of them being together and happy.

This morning, my husband asked me "Is there any drama on television where the main characters weren't total dicks to their wives?"

I think Bjorn will want to slit her throat if she comes to live with them, but I think it will probably be the first option.

It should be title of a Norse-legend themed game of Trivial Pursuit.

Ah! My husband thought of this, and I thought he was crazy when he mentioned it. The idea that Aslaug was a plant to entice Ragnar in to a compromise, or to ensnare him in to some sort of allegiance to Jarl Borg's domain is a distinct possibility.

I like what Dennis mentions in the first few sentences of the review-

Surfer, Dude.

It IS great news. I just wish I had been able to watch the episode, and to say "Holy shit Donal Logue is a king!".

While I love reading anything involving Donal Logue, maybe this could have been posted after the new episode of Vikings aired? Talk about a spoiler.

I must have missed that. Ugh. Awful.

Well that's just, like, your opinion man.

Superman has chest hair! I'm irrationally happy about this.

Poor Lagertha.She's such a righteous babe. I hope she is ok, but I'm not holding out much hope for
the baby.

I'm not a fan of brutal violence either, but as you said I appreciate the efficiency of it on this show. I think that if Vikings was on HBO or another cable network they would go nuts with gruesome fight scenes, just because they can. I can watch blood and enjoy the choreographed nature of the fights, but I don't need…

I don't know anyone else who watches it! This is why I have to come here for all my Viking discussions.

The soundtrack does kick fucking ass.

I haven't seen The Departed in a long time, but wasn't DiCaprio's drug of choice Lorazepam? Vera Farmiga's character gave it to him. Not that benzos are any thing to scoff at, but Ativan is no Oxycontin.

Ted doesn't "encourage" her to develop a pitch for Heinz, he flat-out threatens to fire her if she doesn't.

When did Justin Vernon turn in to Bob Seger?

It's so funny, and violent, and the soundtrack kicks fucking ass!
