Halloween isn't about celebrating evil, TheFunBoy3Version.

They belong in a museum!

I'm not sure I'll go that far, but it's oddly nice to know that it's an option.

An archaeologist and a paleontologist are two completely different fucking things.

Conan the Barbarian always did.

That tunic + frock coat look is surprisingly stylish. Must be the epaulets.

I knew a Greek-American woman in college who, besides being staggeringly hot and still willing to talk to me, felt the same way about the Turks that this Irish American kid feels about the English. Well, worse, actually, because while I hate Oliver Cromwell, I love Doctor Who and Monty Python, but she had nothing good…

It's economical too! I just finished Dan Jones' The Wars of the Roses and it contained basically everything in Game of Thrones, barring the occasional dragon or ice zombie, and did it all in one volume. And had the added benefit of being all true.

Let us not forget that Russians are descended from Swedish Vikings, and so have always had metal in their souls.

He's on YouTube now. Not just an episode here or there, either. There's a ton available to watch. It is very soothing and relaxing, but it's a fair cop that Ross wasn't much as an actual painter. That wasn't why I watched the show religiously as a child, though (I still can't paint for shit, though I can draw…

So I had to look this up, obviously, and whoah… I been chasing that dragon for nigh on to 35 years. It pleases me that it now has a name.

He also seems amazed and genuinely grateful whenever he starts a new season, at least in the early years. Just happy that people enjoyed him enough to have his show come back season after season.

Better than kicking a puppy.

I was mostly referring to marrying his scullery maid.

Well. Fuck.

I think Graham named the character after someone he knew named Polgreen. "Poldark" fits the broody, scarred hero of the story much better, though.

It also adds grist to the angst-mill for the woman Ross does choose.

It's one of the anachronisms that I enjoy most about the show, though. Ross' apparent blindness to class distinctions is one of the things that makes him likable, even heroic, for his period to modern audiences.

Not usually one for the soaps, but for some reason I enjoy this show immensely. Maybe it's the period setting, maybe it's Turner's smoldering, maybe it's the gratuitous horse riding shots, maybe it's the fiery redhead. Whatever it is, I'm excited for the second season.

Well, "Iliza" is a really obnoxious way to spell "Eliza."
