The other day a cashier at the supermarket hit on me thinking I was also in high school.

Don't forget "he's ex-special forces" and "superfluous tacticool phrases oscar mike stay frosty the eagle has landed"

As long as you weren't bonding over your experiences as pedophiles I think you're golden!

I think it might be fine as a joke but seeing as tone is notoriously difficult to gauge on the internet you just want to make sure it doesn't come off as a 'woe is me; where are all the good women' sort of thing.

I'll save the bulk of discussion for next week's review but I'm very glad they didn't go with the most obvious plot arc for Rollo (for now) and that a confrontation with the Jarl seems as though it might be shaping up earlier than anticipated. A lot of really good scenes in the episode in general.

Yeah the one week delay on The Americans is a bummer, but I'm loving the setup they have online with Vikings.

Fresh Meat: Decided to give this series a go while hunting for new comedies to watch on Hulu, and I'm very much glad I did. Along with simply being very funny, the show also has a certain depth and pathos that round out the experience and allow it to be something more. Not stylistically, but in terms of tone there are…

Yeah my feelings so far are very similar. I imagine the thought process behind the Jarl's character, from the writer's perspective, is that without a character like him the show might be somewhat bereft of 'conflict' in the early going. Not in the sense of a lack of violence so much as just there being no substantive…

I took it to be ambiguous as to what the Anglo-Saxon's intentions were, and presumably both Rollo and Ragner could imagine themselves as having been correct.

Unfortunately, although it makes a good story it seems as though his life as a double might be of dubious authenticity. Once I learned that the guy might have basically just made it all up it sort of dampened my interest in the 'insider' element of the story.

Reactionary sleaze masquerading as something subversive? It's like I'm watching Vice Magazine!

I've started online dating recently as well, figuring I may as well give it a go now that I'm out of school. It's been a solid enough time though I'm not sure it's for me.

ODIIIIINNNNNN!!!

To be fair, it's well established that John Malkovich will act in anything for a paycheck.

Colonial Basketball Championship makes me envision a bunch of Zulu warriors and mustachioed gentlemen in pith helmets shooting some mean hoops.

Perkins summed up my response to this episode precisely. Although the overall course of the pilot was quite strong, it nevertheless left me with the worry that Ragnar would be an incessantly virtuous and 'modern' figure, and we'd get a whitewash on viking brutality and thus the complexity of the show's world.

I'm glad it's finally coming out so that I won't have to watch the interminable trailer on Hulu over and over again. The whole thing looked like an exhausting melange of dour self-seriousness and Tarantino-style 'cool' violence.

PC-Gamer recently ran a promotion with EA where they had various celebrities play the new Sim City and then post what they'd built. However, after having his cities deleted multiple times over the course of two days because of EA's horrible server problems, Kluwe finally just assembled a bunch of buildings saying…

Blue Barracudas forever!

Yeah, Van Alden is who I am referring to. He always just felt like a character out of a different world from the rest of the show to me, though granted I've only seen the first season.
