A DC villain would have been nice.

I liked the episode but, as a mother, had to be startled at the Malick twins dedication to their family's "religion." If there's anything more improbable than Inhumans, it has to be kids growing up to follow your lead. Generations upon generations of Malicks, none of them rebelling against what is clearly crazypants?…

Well, that's the question I was asking too. Although it was about Mehmed, not the people of Constantinople. I'm not immediately aware that the Vikings attacked Constantinople, although I do know that Russia was settled by Norse explorers coming down through the Russian rivers.

I adore Tom Mison, but without Nicole - meh! I kinda doubt I'll be around for the next season should they be foolish enough to try to foist one on us.

1453, Constantinople: "Mehmed transported his lighter warships overland, around the Genoese colony of Galata, and into the Golden Horn's northern shore; eighty galleys were transported from the Bosphorus after paving a route, little over one mile, with wood." Had Mehmed heard this tale before? Or have the writers been…

I've been wondering for a while now where the Nina arc was going, and why, and now I think it's all about Oleg. I think his father expedited her execution, when he discovered that his remaining son might have fallen for a traitor. Then there's Gabriel's ravings about all the killings *before* the war. There's a theme…

Started watching during the doldrums of early winter. Now I'm hate-watching the show I call The Further Adventures of the Pretty People. I feel no need to retain it on the DVR Q.

The reviewer called them hockey pads, so I went with that. I still think SCA people would be awesome.

I'm just hoping that the hockey pad horse guys are from a surviving cell of the SCA: Society for Creative Anachronism - http://www.sca.org/

I saw one hole with blood around the edges. Nothing pouring out. No attempts to stanch the wound. ?????

SO relieved that Eve didn't turn into Adelind again for - oh, reasons. The receding mirror effect would be exhausting.

Okay. 2 things. First and foremost. Why is Joe dead? That bullet wound is on the right side of his chest, not the left, unless he's a genetic anomaly with his heart in the wrong place. Secondly, the only thing fun about the Betsy Ross storyline is the possibility that she can't adapt to the 21st century and wants…

It's also a bit anti-historical (based on a very quick visit to Google) that the knights of Wessex and Mercia are using stirrups. Apparently stirrups weren't introduced to England until about a century later. I suppose having all those guys riding sirrupless would have caused a few too many production problems. Also,…

Gorbachev comes in in '85. I'm thinking that this is a series with a definite time limit. We're getting close to glasnost and perestroika, all that good stuff. Our heroes won't just be up the creek, they'll be up there without a cause.

I was just relieved to find it was a broad-spectrum antibiotic, not a magical antidote from the machine. What year is this, anybody remember? How close are we to glasnost?

I saw that.

"There’s a point after which “show, don’t tell,” becomes “wait, what’s happening now?”
Pretty much how I felt during much of the magic here - didn't quite catch on to what was happening with the red vials. Didn't quite catch that they were doing future magic before they did battle magic. And it didn't seem to me that…

The evil stepmother was trying to poison *Penguin*, not his father, although I don't understand why, since dad had not yet changed his will and it's the perfect time to off him.

I knew the dates were off, but I did appreciate them putting it out there that Normandy was settled by Northmen. (I'm Norwegian!) :)

He becomes Ivar the Boneless.
