    • Trivia
      While introducing Alex Kane's character, references are made to his past work, including comments about a few years of fighting terrorists around the globe for an elite military unit. This is a direct reference to one of the actor's (Phillip Winchester) previous roles in the Strike Back television series.

    Norseman Rocks
    Best episode yet! The story and cinematography struck the right notes of creepy and suspenseful, while developing characters we care about. We loved the scenery and special artwork in this episode. Can't wait to see it on-demand and examine the collection of artifacts in detail. The guest actor was perfect! So was his makeup. For cryin' out loud, can we please have a scene where Wesley Snipes takes off his shirt? It's been many years since New Jack City, but he's still got it! Looking forward to next week's episode. We watch in real-time and then watch again on-demand during the week to freeze-frame all the high tech gadgets and enjoy the location shooting. We are loyal fans of the show.
