I confess, I was mystified by why Colt shot the other dude, but the interview cleared that up.

It still doesn't make a lot of logical sense, but I can see thinking that one less of 'them' means a bit more safety. Still, isn't the Detroit mob big enough to just send more? Are Ava, Boyd and Colt really just running now?

I suppose I'll have to wait and see.

Oops, Detroit, not Chicago.

Is this where we discuss Vikings?

I have three episodes of Vikings on my TiVo that I haven't watched yet. How's it looking? I have a fascination with the historical group, and a tattoo of a Viking longship on one thigh, but I haven't heard whether the show's any good or not.

So far I've only watched one episode. The leads are attractive, under the grime. The dialogue isn't insulting, and the sets are interesting (and dark). I'm not sold on the idea that the Norsemen of the 7th Century didn't know anything about the British Isles. And I'm skeptical about them needing only a compass to find their way.

Also, Gabriel Byrne is pretty two-dimensionally villainous as the Earl (which should be "Jarl", but whatever). He's playing him too suave and sophisticated for my tastes.

I'll watch some more. Thankfully, the battle scenes aren't nearly as grisly as they could be.

I've been meaning to watch it too - I love Viking stuff.

I didn't know Gabriel Byrne was involved. Tomorrow's supposed to be rainy and cold--I see a three episode Viking-fest in my future.

I'm enjoying the Vikings so far. I love the female lead.

Justified! Holy shit.

I was kind of curious that no one seemed to have said anything about it yet. I haven't actually seen this week's ep yet, though, so I'd better stay out of the thread for a bit...
