the lady makes a mean cup of sanka.

seems like it was just to give aslaug something to do while ragnar was off marauding and it was useful in the storyline to kill off siggy as the actress wanted to leave the show for personal reasons.

rollo has been baptized even if he is not a practicing christian. thats got to count for something.

i thought claudia is back because the millers got cancelled.

im putting my money on langella for guest star emmy. he's old, he's got oscar and tony cred and they like to reward shows normally ignored with a token award in these categories.

i cant speak to the society they exist in but he did put floki in charge. ought he not bear more than his share of the responsibility in the eyes of the flock for its failure?

its too bad pivot is in standard def because it sometimes reduces the awe im supposed to feel from the vastness of the icy wasteland and perhaps the emotional resonance from the characters.

how about a shout out to paige's hair in the first scene at breakfast? she looked like she was coiffed for an 80s shampoo commercial. i just hope she doesnt tell two friends because in all likelihood they will tell two friends at which point there is no telling where it will end.

can only assume then that the episode will be titled 'the bridge'.

it would be more cathartic if loretta ultimately does him in though im fine with whomever pulls the trigger.

yup. the election of nixon was supposed to represent that as well, a return to law and order but then kent state is the physical manifestation of that ideal, crushing the spirit of the sixties under its heel.

i always thought kent state was a marker for "the end" of the sixties. clearly its not just one event though but a series of aftershocks.

i would say this first season of fortitude has been quite good though id say it is a half step down from these. interesting that there isnt a prestige drama of note on sunday night this quarter although i hear some people are inclined to watch the walking dead.

im about henry's age. got my first strat-o-matic baseball set in 1978 but never ventured into other sports. played right up til the time in high school when my friends got interested in something called a rotisserie league. i scoffed and said the fad would never last.

according to a poster over on hitfix it was an episode of general hospital that had some russian spy elements in the plot.

i think he was doing mr robinsons neighborhood. thats a completely different non-live filmed sketch about poetry from prison.

the caliber of which was indeterminate. (much like this attempt at humor. well wide of the mark.)

i can only assume it was saying "goodnight, john boy!"

does this explain unicorns?

id want to punch anyone named ace.
