That's funny. I was a huge fan, own the DVD's, and I haven't watched the show again since anyway. Keep meaning to go back but want to start from the beginning and there's always too much to watch. I was just thinking about starting back this summer. I've been looking forward to it.

No, she wasn't. Ami Brabson, Andre Braugher's actual wife, played Frank Pembleton's wife on Homicide. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm…
Ms. McDonald appeared once on the show, though, in a cameo as Yaphet Kotto/Al Giardello's daughter (in the final season, when
Giancarlo Esposito played Al's…

A few musings.
More Ragnar - better Vikings. Simple, right?
Bjorn..damn, boy! And I loved his disgusted sniff of his hand after disemboweling the Berserker. How many scenes into next week's episode do we get before his new consort Torvi advises him of her familiarity with the owner of his shiny new ring, and from there…

Yeah, one look. Only.

…aaaaand still no additional reviews for the show. double you tee eff.

I always enjoy your reviews, Mr. Perkins, but this was your best yet this season, too. I enjoyed this week's ep but it didn't inspire as many questions for me as the first two did.
One thing though, does anybody else suspect Aslaug of being Kalf and Erlendur's snitch regarding Bjorn's whereabouts? How else would they…

The term dates to those carefree, pre-NSDAP days of The Great War. It was a simpler time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

Sometimes I think "Revenge" is my favorite Whiskeytown track period. Like most folks, I was grateful for the FAITHLESS STREET reissue, because it does clean up several tunes and the mix is generally better (and all those extra tracks), but I do like the rougher versions of some of the original tracks better, and…

My favorite Whiskeytown hidden track is definitely "Revenge," which is buried at the end of the original version of FAITHLESS STREET (on Mood Food). Whiskeytown also had maybe the biggest PITA hidden track ever on their RURAL FREE DELIVERY EP, where you had to scan back 3 minutes before the first song to access a an…

I'd seriously hoped when I saw the episode title that Aslaug was the Queen referenced therein. I don't need to see Ragnar hitting her again.

First, in deference to my questioning our reviewer on this point last week, ain't no question of doubt about it, Count Odo is a perv. Fortunately, he also appears to be a totally doomed one, and I suspect that Rollo might just be the man to fill his defense of Paris shoes once Odo gets his. I do wish they'd move…

No review of this week's episode. That's messed up.

Oh yeah…completely forgot about the dungeon. Though the torture component has been a staple of a lot of medieval/ancient productions in recent years. OTOH, I probably just saw too many ep's of The Bastard Executioner or something. Yeah, more than one, too many. Do I also dimly remember something early on with the…

And I presumed that Manhattan Love Story was how Analeigh Tipton got her episode (and more later, if?) as Brian's former girlfriend/should have been everything.

McDornan has a supporting but important role in American Sniper, which I have guessed is where and how he got wrapped into this, via Cooper. I have not read this confirmed anywhere, though.

Damn, it's good to have Ragnar back! And tonight, at least, Hirst didn't let him down so badly as he did so much of last season. With a year's worth of memories of how generally disappointing S3 was (and that's on Hirst), I thought this was an encouraging beginning. A few thoughts
-What's the over/under on how many…

I just watched the show, time-shifting as ever. It's difficult for me to imagine a better episode to begin coverage here with, one of the best of the season so far and one which showed the show's strengths and charm to advantage It's great to see Myles covering the show and I hope that continues; it's also interesting…

Scrolled all the way down here before finding the first actual comment about Limitless, which somewhat unlikely enough has turned out to be the only "new" 2015-16 show that I've stuck with. I agree with Matthew's POV on it. It's not appointment television, but Jake McDornan is a pretty winning protagonist and the…

I *thought* this was news when I saw it, actually rewound the DVR just to be sure. OK then. It's time, and it's been a great run.

If you put any stock in the Cancellation Bear's musings, the show is in good shape http://tvbythenumbers.zap2i…
