You realize this means Jesus was a great white shark. I'm very ok with that.

While the celeb cameos and product placement bugged, I like that they keep going for the craziest shit they can imagine. Because of that, I don't see the movies as 100% cynical. They're genuine in wanting WTF moments that look cool. Kinda like little kids playing with action figures and dinosaur toys coming up with…

Porque no las dos?

People in the shark science community have a good deal of respect for him. A couple of years ago when Shark Week was almost 100% awful (it actually improved this year, yay) he managed to get out good conservation info on the dumb Shark After Dark show. Also, he did a very epic song about sharks too.

I think he only wiped off the word "infect" but I'm sure that shitass is going to muck things up some way. Maybe he'll free the husband before he gets infected. Either way, kid needs to die like yesterday.

Except that Agamemnon had more than 1 kid. Killing your own heir in pursuit of the throne? That's insane troll logic.

Yes, everyone knows that hot women have no right to want hot men. They get the average men. Average women shouldn't ever aspire to having any kind of man and if by some strange miracle they get one, they should be eternally grateful (see: the lyrics for "If You Want to be Happy")
Men, of course, have the right to want…

I didn't get that Texas was majorly crushing on Sara. He seemed to like her, but was way too weirded out to consider doing anything about it. I hope he at least got to visit Soren from time to time (he and Alan had a sort of mutual respect at the end so he might have been in on the plan to hide Soren on the island). I…

Show Judith was so screwed over. The real Judith of Flanders had a much more interesting and ultimately happy life. She was the ancestress of Matilda of Flanders, aka William the Conqueror's consort, for Pete's sake!

c-c-c-combo breaker

It's ok to be confused. The Paris stuff has my eyes crossed. I'm still trying to figure it all out.

What bugs me about this is that if Alfred is known to be Athelstan's child, he'd never have a chance to be king. Kingship for the Vikings is shown as something one can take, but for the Saxons it was an inherited thing. In this show Alfred is not of the House of Wessex line. Now if they played it so that Judith…

The timeline is very painful for history pedants like me. The first two eps are ok, since they start in 793 with the raid on Lindisfarne. Things get confusing when they bring in King Aelle, whose reign ended in 867 (the beginning of his reign is unknown but is most likely only a few years before). Ragnar Lothbrok's…

I don't want to spoil you, but if they go by what's said in the sagas and recorded history, England is very relevant. Especially for Ragnar's sons and Alfred.

The Viking Age is part of the Early Middle Ages. That time was around 5th century to 10th century CE. Sorry, I'm a pedant.

Sometimes I think Bjorn was more mature when he was a snarky youngin in Season 1.

I think it was to show that the princess hadn't fled. It was a very strong morale booster for the people, like when King George VI and the Queen Mother of Britain stayed in Buckingham Palace during the Blitz.

I was half expecting for him to land on Landry's body, thereby breaking his fall.

Cassandra's death scene was a bit ridiculous. She's moments away from dying from an incurable respiratory virus yet she's walking around looking just as fresh and lovely as she usually does. She just coughed and wheezed a few times and that was it. At the beginning of the year I had bronchitis and I looked and felt…

It was pictures of the cured virus and the "current" mutation, which are the same. So Xander Berkely did find the cure and it was probably very unlikely it would mutate again if it was the same after 10 years.
