I posted this elsewhere about Out There, but it seems appropriate here:

They remind me of old Richard Scarry drawings. And it seems the show is set in an era where that would be appropriate (late 70's/early 80's).

If they're not going to strictly adhere to the best facts we have, I would hope for more Borgnine. But I'm pretty much okay with things so far.

Trees, rocks, stars, lampposts, that albino guy in the screening of Baraka (you're not alone).

I'm only ten minutes into this episode, but it's only the second episode and the "I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!" line has already been trundled out by one of the characters.

That's not necessarily easy to pull off today, because that level of commitment to a meaningful sacrifice is pretty alien to the contemporary world.

The helmets aren't too bad — no real problems with them. They could be a little longer (Anglo-Saxon warriors had a little more neck protection, including a chain mail hood), and if they wanted, they could get creative with the chieftains helmets. Some of the helmets for chiefs, or ceremonial ones that are found in…
