It couldn't be the first time one of their villages got whacked, either in Scandinavia or England.

It is a commentary on the casual brutality of the characters, and sadly, on contemporary TV drama itself, that I was not surprised by the poor farmer's demise, and only disappointed by Aethelstan's.
But Aethelstan…! He was given a nice send-off in the tribute episode, though.
Ironically, I had been taping "Dig" because…

No documentary, I think, but there was a full-length biography of her published a few years ago. Hilary Knight illustrated the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books, too.

I'm sticking with it, despite its failings. It's nice to hear the Hebrew, I like the young Hasid with the heifer, and our hero is easy on the eyes. And hot gay sex! …Ooops.

I was hoping that some of those children would make an escape, but I give the director credit for not letting it happen.

TheVikings aren't slaughtering people so much because of their religion, but they aren't behaving in very attractive ways… Even Robert Ferguson, the author of the history from which much of the series draws from, concedes that the Vikings may have had deeply held religious beliefs, but man, they slaughtered monks and…

Although I was completely flummoxed at Ecbert's soldiers attacking the *Northmen* instead of the Saxons who had apparently started the dispute, when he had the private audience with his son I just knew he was going to end up saying "Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted!"

I confess I don't find her as desirable as she is intended to be. Pretty, needy, and doomed.

I haven't viewed the quasi-supernatural elements as having any "real" existence but as visions of what the *characters*, these people who lived over a thousand years ago, saw and believed. People had visions of the supernatural all the time. A stranger with a wounded hand who can heal and says his name is Harberd must…

And the seer said that Paris would be taken by "dead men".

During most of Clarkson's screaming rant at the son I changed the channel or turned off the sound. Not my idea of a good time.Maybe that's the price of loving the girls' bond with each other.

And I can spy on people and they won't see me.

She's a warrior now - they got pretty messed up. If she continues as a warrior she'll scare the heck out her opponents.

I wonder what Paris is going to look like without the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Maybe like a swampy market town.

Doppelbang! Is that a word? If not, it should be!

Loved Ilana's bra. I bet they're flying off the shelves now.

I think you can't be more than 20 or weigh more than 120.

I felt bad for the baby actor, though. I hope the crew didn't make him cry but just waited until he did.

Well, he *was* in the music halls, at one time, and of course he had a great passion in his youth.

Aethelstan isn't interested at all, tho some part of his anatomy may become interested. Major gaffe when he heard her confession - which, as he pointed out, he was not entitled to do as he is not a priest. In any case a priest would have heard her confession, such as it was, face to face and not behind a grille,…
