The Anglo-Saxons weren't big on archery at the time, and they didn't use bows in battle. I was surprised the show had them shooting arrows in the first battle on the strand. They used bows, but for hunting, and the big beefy longbows wouldn't be developed for quite a few years.

Counterinsurgency hasn't been easy for anyone — the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan, Russia in Chechnya, the Soviets in Afghanistan, the Israelis in Palestine, the U.S. in Vietnam, the French in Vietnam, the French in Algeria, the British in Kenya, the Ottoman Turks in Arabia, the British in Afghanistan, the British in…

That is better — editing now.

You're fired. If you caught that error in the review, you're too careful a reader; reviews will never get posted if they have to make their work more presentable.

It/they went nowhere because their car won't start. The initial conceit reflects the directional premise of the narrative.

I can't remember which burger/episode it was — I'm guessing it was the Poblano PIcasso Burger — but it gave me the idea to grind a little salt, pepper, cilantro and diced poblano into the chuck as it's ground.
