1. For some reason, I knew Erzebeth Bathory will be the first killer in the show. I don't know if she's more scary or more disturbing. They say she killed her 600 or so victims because she wanted their blood for eternal youth. Was that the inspiration for Snow White's evil stepmother? Personally I think she would still do it even if she lived in modern times with make up, silicon implants and such. What did she earned from that madness? Just 600 dead young women, only to die in jail and having her four soldiers dead. And doctor Hazzard was a little like Doctor Death/Josef Mengele. I don't say she was a Nazi, but she was very sadistic and bloodthirsty for a doctor.

2. I have some theories about cartoons we used to watch when we were young. Tell me what you think:

A. "Home On The Range" - if you watched it, you remember that Grace the blonde cow was immune to Alameda Slim's enchanted music. It's not necessary because she's a tone-deaf, but rather because she doesn't like the music. Slim is obviously based on Pied Piper. Except Piper knew different audience need different music (he played one music for the rats and different music for the kids), while Slim believed all of the cows like classical music in yodel clothing. Classic and yodel are two kinds of music that not everybody like. Maybe he tried to pull a similar trick on the farmers he used to work for, except the music that worked on the cows didn't fooled the farmers, which means they caught him red handed.

B. Ratatoullie - Chef Skinner wasn't always the napoleon of a chef we saw in the movie. He was very devoted to the late Chef Gusteau, something like Wu and Hammond. When his boss/father figure died due to heart attack, Skinner came to believe no one will ever manage the restaurant better than Gusteau, hence his streak if not cruel approach to people, especially toward Lingwini. Given Lingwini is the lost son of his late boss, I think Skinner deems him as unworthy to his father's legacy. It's highly unlikely that Skinner met Lingwini for the first time. He probably knew, just haven't told any of the other employees.

C. Pinky And The Brain - Pinky isn't necessary stupid/insane. He's just less smart than Brain. Since Brain is a genius lab rat and could might as well be Pinky's father, it make sense he would be smarter than Pinky. Their relationship is somewhat like a workaholic father and his slacker teenage son. Therefor, Brain probably proclaim himself as Pinky's actual father, maybe even the biological one. And the fact Brain claim to wish to take over the world is more like an elaborate way to distract both Pinky from the grief over his dead mother.

D. SpongeBob Square pants - SpongeBob is purposely playing dumb in order to tolerate his horrible life. His boss is abusing him for not enough money, his neighbor is a jerk at best, his best friends are moron (Patrick) and arrogant (Sandy), the psychopathic petty Plankton constantly trying to make him miserable just because he work for Plankton's sworn enemy and cant ever hope to have a vehicle of his own. His life won't get any better, so he chose to fake stupidity for not being harassed/disturbed/effected from the stupid/nasty/obnoxious people around him.

3. Happen to see "Barbarians Rising"? So it's a show in the history channel about the Roman empire's most dangerous enemies. I knew about some prior to the show ([|Hannibal Carthage], Attila the hun, Spartacus and slightly about Boudicca the warrior queen), but the others were new up until the show. Arminius had an interesting background. He was originally a German child who was taken from his home and eventually became a high-ranked Roman general. Hostility on his commander's side and distant memories about his home led Arminius to become the secret leader of his tribe, who used both his expertise at Rome's habits and position as a soldier to get an inside information for his true troops. Boudicca had a harsh background. Harsher than I remembered. Both of her daughters were raped by Roman soldiers and she herself got beating of a lifetime. She was arguably the most sympathetic character in the show after Spartacus. If Artemisia was someone who had an understandable reason to kill people without mercy and discrimination between victims, she would be Boudicca. Geiseric was the scariest among the non-Roman warlords. The others either had understandable motives (Boudicca, Spartacus, arguably Arminius), Freudian excuse (up for interpretation), crazy or simply a force of destruction (Attila). Geiseric was a psychopath from the sane kind. Raiding Rome, protection business ("you give me all your resources and I protecting you from myself") and killing with cold blood (if not enjoying himself) were only a handful from what this man did. When you take to account he's very similar to my vision of McDonald in both appearance and personality, he become an even bigger hate sink. You just know something is wrong with an empire when they create the environment for people like Geiseric to become powerful.

4. After watching some other episodes, I kinda looking forward for Adam, especially as he sounds like the best villain in the series from what I remember. pyrrah was awesome :-). The most interesting take of Hercules ever. And her sword that can turn into a gun. Vice could take notes from Pyrrah's page about politeness, matching her ego to her talent and overall being a normal person. What's the deal about not liking Ruby even after Ruby saved her from a pack of Beowolves? If it wasn't Ruby, Vice could get one hell of an enemy with her attitude. Will she get better during the series, or Ruby will be forced to give her snarky answers ("you'll have to try much harder" to "I could've killed you", "I might not be the best with people, but it doesn't mean I cant deal with monsters")? Maybe it's just me, but she could work perfect as an asshole victim in our stories.
