Something great about the image of these badass dusty hairy Vikings being led around town by a gaggle of geese waddling away.

There's kind of a Bambi vs. Godzilla aspect to having Martin Starr and James Adomian on the same podcast together. The man may have said maybe 5 words before Jesse Ventura came on, and at that point it was all over.

George Blagden's doing a chat-thing on io9 right now, and said that threesome question scene was apparently the first scene he shot for the show. Hell of an introduction.

I cried a little inside when Athelstan started shaving his little bald spot again.

I've been calling him Jarl Training Wheels in my head- I doubt Gabriel Byrne survives the season, and is basically a narrative placeholder demonstrating power until Ragnar finally gets tired of his shit and kicks the series up a notch, starting his own fiefdom.

As a follow up, Aukerman took Paul Tompkins and Howard Kremer and had them talk about the movie Jaws. ….I thought one was trying to convince the other to like it, but it turns out they both love it and riff a bit, and I was pretty underwhelmed by the result.

"you should at least make the effort…."

from @avclub-41ae3cd2f3e6402db3f418313787cf86:disqus 's link, she was also in that Don Cheadle Captain Planet spoof! Upon checking said Funny or Die sketch, I think she was an extra pushing the baby cart, but it's hard to tell. She's conversational in Hindi.

@avclub-accc518d3a7ff21f1a99dc00802eabc3:disqus but the writers get to decide how much "a season's worth" is, though. It doesn't matter if they have a great hypothetical 25 episode arc planned out, if their job is to write 13 well paced episodes.

This show seems like it'll be a decent recommendation for people going through GoT withdrawal in the middle of summer. I hope Ragnar and Lagertha have a lot of plunder and pillaging in front of them. Keep reviewing it!

@avclub-d0cf409eb912cc0cc950b41b6d892d07:disqus ah same, I was getting a little annoyed myself until I re-read that sentence and felt a little "….oh…" feeling as suddenly everyone made more sense. Pronouns!

Well, first thing’s first:

You're touching on kind of a broad generalization, that the US is somehow exceptional in this regard. But that's really not true- for one, Great Britain is currently the active record holder for peaceful transitions, and while the US is #2 there's a whole posse of OECD countries sitting right behind us. We're not…

Hmmm so I'm midway through episode 11 right now, let's see what episode number was just releas-OH MY GOD 37.

Paul Rust also has a great New No-No that I hate to quote here without the audio handy to double-check and do it justice.

Yeah, it seemed to be implying to me at least that this could be next week's show. If not, wow, Scott's on a rampage.

Tonight's live episode was AWESOME

The Capitol Steps offering audio downloads in *RealAudio format* is grotesquely offensive. Many good computers were lost in the war on RealNetworks.

@avclub-f9612d06549ffe449e39e34fae8e2549:disqus , that still seems like an awfully negative spin on what was a win-win situation for everyone.
