I think Texas has become a great avatar for the confused Helix watcher, especially regarding season 1. I'm hoping the guy makes it past the finale.

There is no god but Slappah, and Zachary Quinto is his prophet…

If you're in trouble, and you can find them, you can hire The Slap Team

High fructose corn syrup kept any potential ubermensch from reaching their goals.

Also in Season 1 we learn that Siggy and Earl Haraldson's boys were murdered. We might get an explanation of that plot hole.

Very true. Of course, I'm still dealing with the weird compression of time in the series (Egbert was king from 802-839, which is in line with the show, but at the same time they have King Aelle whose reign ended in 867, so oy). I'm kind of torn because I love the characters on the show but I'm also eager to see the…

Well, if Hirst wants to take the show beyond just the Ragnar tale (the Viking Age did last all the way to 1066), Eggy's gonna have to die. He's been a pretty impressive king but it's his grandson Alfred, not he, who is called the Great.

Ramse could be very boring in another actor's hands but Acevedo really is making him memorable. When they had the fake out last week I was really sad at the idea of him dying. Not really that surprising since he's been kicking ass since "Oz".

Is anyone surprised to find that Texas is a cop? Everything about the dude screams law enforcement (except for getting beat up by a bunch of kids).

Speaking of whom, why is Mark Ghanime still listed in the credits? Are we going to see him soon, and if so, when? Cuz new guy is a pale imitation.
I wonder if new guy will get sick after apple girl macked on him. I mean, yeah, he's cute but unless if she was trying to infect him, that kiss made no damn sense, even for…

You're so right about the chef. I totally see him now as the sheep in the Wallace and Gromit movie.

That was prolly part of the joke, since Madalena's the worst. The Worst!

If there isn't King Richard/Gareth fic written after this, I'll eat my pointy medieval hat.

Shh, shh. It's okay.

It's very interesting that you see yourself as Eugene in this scenario.

I'd love to see a reverse the cast in that everyone is black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, Middle Eastern, etc. with one token white person who always dies off when they encounter another white person.

And even better, as a lockjaw zombie, he's so useless he can't even zombie.

Would you accept "pretty darn good"?

Damn bigots. Always holding the people made of people down…

Officer Bob: Sasha, come here, I have a secret to tell you.
Sasha: (comes closer)
Officer Bob: No, closer.
Sasha: (comes even closer)
Officer Bob: It's such a good secret but you have to come closer
Sasha: (gets right up beside him)
Officer Bob: Here it is…
Officer Bob: It's gonna be so good…
