Spoilers, Still

Me too.  Trying to decide between sneaking episodes during the reception or waiting until I can give them proper attention.

(Spoilers)

Aw, thanks for being the Riddler and for blowing your cover so we can say thank you!  Those threads were pretty dang awesome, and you came up with some really great riddles.  The one time I figured one out was a legitimately proud moment.  So if this pope thing doesn't work out, you've got a nice career in…

Vague, Unsettling Spoilers

That'd be… one way.  Or, you can just trust in the magical power of random assignment to wash out any other random differences into white noise. 

Yeah, it wasn't my favorite so far but I'm watching for the first time and was kind of shocked to see this is supposedly one of the worst episodes.  That bodes well for the future.

Good points!  I suspected Siggy to begin with but in retrospect it seems significant that we don't really know how she felt about Rollo's offer.  She likes him but she also knows what's involved in being the Jarl, and Rollo is, yeah, not all that bright.  If he married her and made a power play against Ragnar and…

Oh I certainly agree that Floki is as/more religious than Athelstan (I wonder if we haven't heard him share any Christian stories because he's not confident enough in them to let a group of Vikings pick at them).  I meant the interactions of the gods more metaphorically, which in retrospect is not a good way to talk…

I really love Floki for the reasons you highlight.  The gods are not just real but present to him, he walks around half in a mystical state all the time.  I love his interactions with Athelstan, who came into the story with a similar level of religious fervor but has since been fairly cowed.  They seem on some level…

Don't know if anyone else is in the same boat, but I have work early Monday and it takes awhile to get through the Sunday shows.

I loved the sponsor's speech, and how Geoffrey's initial distaste at having to interact with a corporate sponsor shifts as he connects with the man's romanticism.  For me it was a nice parallel to Ellen's revelation that her auditor appreciated her as an actress. 

Women can be pretty big.  Actors are usually pretty small.  Some trickery may have been involved in making her loom over the proceedings, but given that she was identified specifically as a woman I don't think there's really a need to question her gender.

Seriously, you need to get your official black box already.  I keep thinking you're a very thoughtful and courteous common poster, and it's messing with my head.

In the opening, Ragnar forces Bjorn to watch the execution of the murder for the murderer's sake, because otherwise he will not reach Valhalla.  That's what I thought Bjorn was getting at in forcing Athelstane to watch, but of course Bjorn is on more of a power trip than Ragnar was (and is eager to separate himself…

"Look at his face when he burns the Bible pages: What’s he thinking?"

Freydis, right?  Or was there a separate one?  That was one of my go-to usernames for awhile because she was just so awesome.  (Also, she was pregnant at the time.)

Man, that part absolutely killed me as a kid.  Still does.  Taran really earns everything that comes to him, if only because he gets to glimpse actual magic but never keep it, and yet he goes on living and working anyway. 

I always see this, and I know it's a storyline that provokes a lot of strong emotions so I don't want to get into a fistfight about it, but I just want to express my bafflement of the reading that Susan ends up in hell or something.  She wasn't on the train, and she wasn't in the battle, so she doesn't go through the…

It seems like everything Adam Warrock does ends up on Great Job, Internet! and I fully approve.
