At least now we know Watson and Sherlock are heroes, plus, the "finest men I know" — Mary told us, and also, we get to see them run from a building like Batman & Robin.

I think they offer it on the history channel website: temporarily. Anyway, that was Astrid, Lagertha's "special friend."

I hope they let the snakes out. Probably not.

So, why do we think Ragnar returned to England, anyway? Was it just because he had already decided to, for the sake of vengeance, and then when he couldn't find able warriors to join him, it served as an atonement for him covering up the death of the Viking settlers, and not avenging their death immediately?

I was wondering if the horse that was killed had been Aslaug's horse…

I know, right? It seems like it should have aired after next week's episode, or subsequent ones. The other "Real Viking" episodes were more like background info.

*Ragnar would have known Ecbert would introduce him to Magnus. Surely the denial of fatherhood was strategic?

What about that look the Seer and Lagertha exchanged as Aslaug's death boat floated away?
Not exactly a visual fist bump.

I, too, had always thought that Ragnar - if they did show his death - would die in the last season.

Poussey is so delightful on Orange is the New Black. Thanks for the shout out! I hope to see Samira Wiley in a great deal of future projects!

Jesse, the title of this review captures my thought, verbatim, when I first saw the trailer for this!

Okay, I guess I'm in a bad mood, so forgive me, but I turned on the episode during the Mrs. Claus/Elves Begging for Punishment sketch and I just turned the thing off. SNL at its worst: take a joke that was not-great/cringe-worthy and beat us over the head with it.

Remakes and sequels make me feel dumber just reading about them.

Except, I don't *think* they pass leadership down the bloodline, do they? I think someone just challenges and fights the reigning the earl/king.

Ah. I didn't realize shooting Olivia was part of an interrogation of Rosita. But that makes sense.

It did seem kind of random. And sometimes this show has the characters spell out stuff that the audience knows with their eyes closed. But in this case, I wouldn't have minded Rick explain his thinking.

It seemed like Maggie, wearing the little hat, and the jeans and all, was dressed up like Glenn from the beginning of the series. Did anyone else think that?

I try to pay attention, but have never heard of Laxness. How did you get turned on to him?

Finally sat down and read, The House on Mango Street.
