Only Geoffrey, as I recall. He doesn't believe in the curse.

So who gets strangled?

I think you're mostly right - seasons 1 and 3 are much better at having the in-play and out-of-play story lines parallel each other. If anyone's story line runs parallel to MacBeth, I think Richard's would be the closest (although still not very close).

You do know that penguins only live in the Southern Hemisphere, right?

Cooter shaving is the work of the Devil.

69 is not a long life, not in this century, anyway.

Most of the landscapes were actual NZ (I had just come from there, so it was a real flashback), but yeah, creatures were all CGI and not as realistic-looking as LOTR.
