It's just that I though I was having a stroke when I first read it.  It was scary.

What them fun awayzers?

Are you an expert in Saxon/Danish war tactics, or are you just some guy who thinks old battles are cool?  If you're an expert, then please give some examples with sources for how it wasn't realistic.  If you're just a guy who thinks old battles are cool, shut up because you're trying to "fridge logic" what might very…

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a completely made up idea trolls are using to justify their comments.  It doesn't sound like one of those at all.

I really laughed hard at the "He had 19 friends that died on 9/11" joke.  That was one of the funniest "wrong" jokes FG has pulled off in a while.

I don't think it was parodying radical fundamentalist Muslims.  I think it was sort of a reverse parody of Americans that wholeheartedly believe all Muslims are terrorists.  
All of Family Guy's jokes operate like that, I think.  They're making fun of people who really believe that stuff.  We all know there are people…

Wasn't it the kid they took from Ragnar's village for "surety" in case Ragnar wasn't fishing?  I took that to me that if he found out Ragnar's wife lied to him, he'd kill the kid.  Obviously, when Ragnar showed up it was proof he hadn't gone fishing, so they had to kill the kid.

Both times Ragnar longship has appeared along the Northumbrian coast, I desperately wished Ragnar would put on a show for the watchers by dancing on the oars like Bernard Cornwell's Ragnar in the Saxon Tales.  I need to get those books out again and see if there's a possibility it's the "same" Ragnar.

I think the Jarl realized it really was the treasure trove Ragnar insisted it might be.  He still gets the Jarl's share of the loot, right?  He hates Ragnar, but he loves gold.  Ragnar can get him gold until he can figure out Ragnar's navigation technique, then he can kill Ragnar, but still reap the benefits of…

Banshee's trying to dethrone Victorious for "hottest core female cast."

I would say that Strike Back's first season on Cinemax is was at least equal to this season of Banshee, but Banshee was better than Strike Back's second season on Cinemax.

Rapey the Albino: best one-off character ever.

Had Banshee been on HBO or Showtime, that fight would have gone viral I have no doubt.

God yes, the opening titles are great.  Thank god someone at HBO, all those years ago, realized that the opening titles were as important as everything else when crafting excellent television.  I do believe we are in the Golden Age of opening titles.  Cinemax is really crushing it in the opening titles department with…

I think people have started to realize that it's more than size that makes a boob good.

Okay, well first, I came here thinking they'd review the finale, but they hadn't (they just hadn't posted it yet), so I looked around for some general forum or something not dedicated to anything specific and while I was in the process of failing to find that, it occurred to me to check the review for the pilot.

Oh, NOW you wanna talk about Banshee, after I spent 15 minutes digging up the review of the pilot to talk about it there?  I see how it is.

Agree about the fights, that one you mention took pretty much the whole damn episode to resolve itself.  I've never seen TV fights like Banshee's TV fights.

Banshee is better than Hunted and arguably better than Strike Back.  I can't believe it slipped through the cracks here at the A/V Club.  It has everything: Boobs, guns, boobs, sex, boobs, knives, sex, boobs, explosions, the creepiest henchman ever, boobs, and even more boobs.  Not to mention the hand to hand fights…

They showed that promo multiple times this week.  I was confused too, because it was always paired with Liz's "I'm going to kill you, that's my apology" line which, obviously, was from this episode.
