What do you do when you spill your unimaginably sloppy meatball sandwich all over your desk, Quintel?

They're in-corgi-able.

See, they could have made that Danny's problem. But they didn't. Does that make them kinda dumb? Kinda.

Bender as grey goo — that was a brilliant episode. Granted, Futurama is something special when it comes to well-thought-out consequences (always loved the time-loop process of Fry being manipulated into becoming his own grandfather just so he would lack the delta brainwave that would alert the Brainspawn). I just wish…

There was make-up and hair-do's in Roman times, though (a lot of the make-up was lead based). So there were methods and infrastructures in place for that sort of thing 2000 years ago.

Neville's going to start a splinter survivalist group called The Commodores, and they'll be holed up in a Brick House.

I'm having problems with the whole nanotech electricity eaters. What exactly do they use the electricity they eat for? Just to replicate? So we're expected to believe that these microscopic nanobots are so numerous that they've eaten every last bit of electricity on the planet only to replicate themselves?

Elizabeth Mitchell's constant whisper-on-the-verge-of-weeping is more annoying than the orange-ish pancake makeup.

You know what would have been better? A pit full of Ernest Borgnines.

Yeah, and Jarl Gabe's slave girl also agrees to be sacrificed, but that just raises another question — how much free will does a Viking slave girl really have to express? For all we know, she was heavily, maybe even forcefully, encouraged to agree because the other Vikings who were going to 'fill her with the life…

@White Suburban Punk — and I hope you have a vodka named in your honor.

Hey, there were some Irish there before the Vikings arrived. They just hadn't put up walls and built a castle — they were too cool for that.

Nope, yep — you're right. "Doom" basically means "an accounting," and there's the famous Domesday Book of 1086 where William I had people go around the country getting an accounting of everything — this family has 8 cows, that family has 6 acres and 5 swords, etc.

That would add some needed dramatic tension. Aelle is just begging to be killed, and that's no fun.

Next Rollo's gonna save Ragnar from some bad dates.

Sorry man — you're replying to a mistaken post, so now your reply looks kinda funky. I was trying to reply to another post above, and somehow it popped up as a new post, so I just edited it.

Which Vikings are you talking about? Because the Ibn Fadlan account does cover ritual slave rape and sacrifice to go into the afterlife with the chieftain. But that occurred among the Rus, Vikings in Russia, not Norway (and that depends on how much of Ibn Fadlan's account you trust, and how much you believe could be…

"It's only death!"

I thought the Swede was a Jarl, not a king. And although they had the same name, I think Swedish Jarls had a bit different portfolio than Norse Jarls — a little more common and less powerful? Less chieftan-like? I'd have to look it up.

Good points. I was thinking along the same lines, but mainly because Siggi's seemingly so much older than Rollo. In a world with relatively shorter life spans, it just seemed like a poor life choice.
