Okay!

So, I've, like, designed a really sweet attack plan that I'm calling Attack Plan Ded Moroz, like "Deadmau5!"

WUB!

Mr Smith throws the watch into the desert night in the end of vol 3.

As an aside, one of the biggest things that bug me in this series is how bland Smith is. The actual explorers who roamed that area near the end of the 19th century were a really colorful bunch. Mr Smith being this really bland, milquetoast guy is a huge missed opportunity.

"Younghusband", man, what a surname.

Also, she's been on a tour of the area. Hope she had a good time.

I don't know why Other Thorfinn would include awesome dog in the list of questionable people they've picked up on their journey.

I kind of hope "Oh yeah, we're in some deep poo poo aren't we? I forgot" becomes a running gag.

Isn't Thorffin supposed to be a somewhat common name? Seems kind of weird the equivalent of yelling "Steve" in a crowd got those guys' attention.

Especially considering they have 2 Thorfinns in their crew. Are we supposed to know who those random warriors who recognized him are?

"Hey Thorfinn!"
"Huh?"
"No, I mean the other Thorfinn!!"

I think when someone shouts Thorfinn, they mean the Thorfinn and everyone understands that kind of implicitly.

Yeah, but you might still glance over and be like "is that OUR Steve?"

I'm sure they just wanna bump it and shoot the poo poo (these are euphemisms for Viking death)

Tangentially related to Thorkell punching a bear, this week's Vikings on History apparently is going to have a character also attack a bear. Since Vinland Saga's been brought up a couple times in the Vikings thread I figured I'd do the reverse promotion for those who need more huge Scandinavians showing bears who rules the food chain.

Whoops.

It takes place quite awhile before Vinland Saga does and covers the beginnings of the Viking raiding of England and Western Europe.

Also History streams it on their site. Regional locking may apply.
