If I recall correctly, the recent Spike TV (!) miniseries Tut held true to history in that case. Horses and chariots, but no camels that I can remember.

I'd be down for that. It's hard to express how surprised and delighted I was at that development in IB — as an inveterate watcher of period pieces and time travel stories, I kept glancing at my watch during the climax, thinking "huh, they're really running out of time to get Hitler ou—" and then the fucking theater…

David Blaine.

'Elp! 'Elp! You're bein' repressed!

Generally they were the ones wiping out the villages, and quitting that job is supposed to suffice as their noble act. Sure, I was a medieval Himmler, but I took early retirement — you're welcome!

No? How about now? How about the sixth time we show it to you? Have you aged into its demographic yet? Hurry up!

The gorgeous blonde from the tragically, unjustly canceled New-York-cop-takes-job-in-London series Keen Eddie.

The wedding ring trick was legitimately amazing to me. His hand was quite clearly moving down his finger when the ring was supposed to come off. Great misdirect.

I first heard this meme as "Always Be Batman," and thought the unicorn was a kid-friendlier/gender neutral gloss. But a quick Googling shows that the unicorn version seems to pre-date the Batman version by a few months, and Know Your Meme has nothing definitive on either one.

Something like that would definitely have been cause for a fustuarium (the rest of your unit is gathered around you and forced to beat you to death), which we didn't get to see until Steven S. DeKnight put on the crested helmet with Spartacus — a very different but still quite awesome show.

I'm not sure how much of it is prescience and how much is just the fact that a production as massive and long-running as Game of Thrones is eventually going to sweep up every half-decent British actor.

I think one of my favorite scenes in the show is when Vorenus and Pullo turn up in Caesar's camp after having shown mercy to Pompey Magnus (they think) and Vorenus just admits he made a judgement call that wasn't his to make, possibly prolonging the war. Caesar dismisses both of them with only a token amount of…

For me it's even weirder when they do turn out to be the same person. Sean Hayes who played Jack on Will And Grace for a decade is the same Sean Hayes who executive-produces modern-day cop-monster-genre show Grimm? …OK! Jonathan Frakes, who played Commander Riker on ST: TNG for a decade is now a journeyman TV…

Agreeing with the others; in my experience this is literally how any organization handles metrics. The focus is always on whatever metric the e-suite is currently upset about, and the most obvious policy/action to address that metric is always taken without any regard to its impact on other metrics or the business as…

Oh, I was supposed to know what a Flaco Navaja was? That helps a little.

The truly sad part is that Jauron was coming off a miracle 13-3 season, where he won Coach of the Year for winning the last-ever NFC Central crown with the likes of Jim Miller under center. The same season that Mike Brown single-handedly won two consecutive OT games by pick-6ing the other team. (A feat that,…

This one'll be good for the whole season: "John Fox complimented the fucking Packers before the first home game of the season? The one team he has to beat to keep his fucking job? Unbelievable!"

As a Bears fan, I can always say I've seen worse — I was around for the 2002 season. Soldier Field was closed while a giant space toilet was being installed. Dick Jauron was our coach. Henry Burris was momentarily our quarterback. We got off to a 2-0 start and then lost eight straight games, six of them by less…

She's twenty years younger than me. At this point it may be time to change the verb tense on "squandering my potential." It's either that or become one of those sad people who bring up Grandma Moses all the time.

There were 61 episodes of Metalocalypse, so I'd imagine they could get at least 36 out of this show.
