Ohwell

Hate it!

I think she's adorable. Now if I could only get her to a hairstylist......

Can't stand her as Miranda Hart, but I like her as Chummy.

I love him, too, but I so wish he wouldn't smoke.

I can't wait either. It seems like every Thursday afternoon I get anxious, just waiting for the show.

You ever see someone's face and you just want to slap it, even though you don't know the person? Well, that's how I feel about Jena and Caleb. I don't know what Harry and Keith were smoking because I loved what Alex and Sam sang last night. Plus, their individual performances were the only ones I liked. JLo must have a clause in her contract that the camera must be on her for x number of minutes during each show. I am so, so, sick of seeing her face. If she doesn't mind being on camera so much, then she must be insufferable in real life

So was this Aslaug's last child? If so, I hope this is the last we see of her.

I loved everything about it, so much that I watched it twice. I know I'm going to Hell for this but I laughed out loud when the husband clocked his wife upside the head with the hammer. The part that really made me laugh was the expression on her face when she abruptly stopped talking. I thought the actress nailed that scene. May she run her mouth all she wants to in Heaven. There were so many enjoyable and interesting characters (hi Saul!), so I'm looking forward to this every week.

I don't know. I watched again last night and I came away still not feeling much of anything for any of the characters, even Jamie Bell. I also don't care much about the story except that, being American, I'm so glad things turned out well in the end. : ) This is not going to be must-see TV for me; I'll catch the reruns if I can but I won't worry if I miss an episode.

Fred and Cynthia - thanks

This was a rather meh episode for me, full of annoyances: - Trixie's hairdo annoys me. I think she'd look better with dark hair if she's going to wear her hair that short because the blonde hair just makes her eyes bulge out even more and it's distracting. - Jenny annoys me. She is a cold fish, and for the life of me I can't understand these fellows falling in love with her. - The actress who played the pregnant prison inmate with the fake fiancé annoyed me. She plays an annoying character on EastEnders as well, where she's been caught lying and stealing. I just never liked the actress. I do like Shelagh and the doctor husband the most though, and the handyman and the "mousy" nurse whose names I can't recall.

It's on again tonight, so I'll rewatch to see if I can make more sense of it.

Yes, they both have knock-knees and skinny hips. On paper it sounds bad, but when you look at them they look sexy.

Well, here's hoping that the Pauline - Chloe/Rebecca storyline has finally been resolved. Pauline acted like she was satisfied with the outcome, but I don't trust her.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), he's no match for Loretta. She's much more mature than he is, and much craftier. She would pound him into dog meat.

The scene with Ragnar riding his horse around Earl Lagertha was one of the sexiest scenes I've seen in a loooong time. I got all hot and bothered and wishing I was on a horse while my man rode around me. Plus, Travis Fimmel and those eyes. Damn. No wonder Lagertha keeps coming back. My next favorite scene was Ragnar hanging back in the shadows, just watching people and taking their measure. I thought the blood eagle scene was beautifully shot, and Borg took it as well as can be, I guess. It was nice of Bjorn to give him some food before it all went down. Bad move on Floki's part for not inviting Ragnar to the wedding. Ragnar won't forget that. Also, Siggy is unknowingly playing with fire, fucking with the dangerous triumvirate of Ragnar, Horik, and Rollo. She is out of her element and I wonder what will happen to her. I cringe every time I see King Aella and I get a little sad, knowing that he threw Ragnar in the snake pit. I wonder if History Channel will follow history or change it up, letting Ragnar live and the king die.

So Darryl's character was supposed to be written as sexy and charismatic? Boy, did they miscast because Rappaport was just nasty creepy. I hate to admit I was even thinking this, but for a moment there with the final confrontation between him and Wendy, I thought Wendy was going to say that he was Kendall's father. Wendy just seemed too affected (for lack of a better word) by her brother. I mean, I've got a brother and even though he's grown, he couldn't rattle me like Darryl rattled Wendy. So what I'm saying is, I thought the relationship was rather creepy. I think that Rachel overplayed her hand with Boyd by threatening him because I would expect that he'd be smart enough to put 2 and 2 together, as soon as he found out that Ava got out of prison. For all Rachel knows, Boyd could figure things out and possibly kill Ava. Now, I think that Boyd truly loves Ava and wouldn't harm a hair on her head, but the point is that Rachel doesn't know that and she could have unwittingly put Ava in danger. Poor Jimmy. I thought he would make it out alive but I guess that was too much to hope for. You lie down with dogs.........

If you have to keep explaining and explaining why someone isn't an asshole...then, most likely, they are an asshole. Thus, Caleb is, in my opinion, an asshole. If he gets a shock boot tonight, I will do cartwheels with my granny self.

Boyd knows that Ava flipped.

He has a face made for radio but he does have an interesting voice. Someone over at TWoP said he looks like he's about to vomit, and that's true, and that's why I just can't look at him for any length of time.

I started off watching this but I was having trouble understanding the dialogue, so I just got fed up and switched to something else. However, I like Jamie Bell so I'll give it another shot next week.

I still don't understand why Siggy slept with Horik in the first place. At first I thought it was to persuade Horik to help Rollo in some way, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it was because when Rollo was a drunken slob, she just got tired of propping him up and decided that she wanted a "real" man?

I'll grudgingly admit that I kind of liked Aslaug during the bedtime story moment. Otherwise, I hope she's gone after she delivers baby #4.

For me, Sam is the best-looking of this bunch. He's definitely bring him home to meet mom material. I think Malaya is cute but she will be much more attractive when she loses the glasses and braces. The rest? Well, like my mama said, if you can't say anything nice...

I thought Lagertha was going to swing around and stab hubby in the neck, but I'll take the eye. Worked for me. I didn't expect the guy to slice his head off, so that was icing on the cake. Good on him. I, too, am feeling some chemistry between Ecbert and Athelstan. I wouldn't mind that at all, except that Ecbert is cunning and dangerous and I would worry that poor Athelstan would be in over his head. : )
