Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the corn in this week's episode not look like that? Like the kernels should be smaller and darker and basically not look like modern corn.

of a full load.



The season-opening human sacrifice scene and the one in the most recent episode are 2 different events, right? If I remember correctly, the opening scene was him and Riario, not him and Swarthy Buddy.

I think that is still further down the line.

This show is pretty bad but it never fails to amuse me. I have to think its pretty costly per episode so I wonder if they are going to wrap it up this season or just leave it on a cliffhanger thinking they are going to get renewed.

Sometimes it really feels like they make Leonardo way too smart. So you end up with stuff like this where he figures out the heliocentric model of the solar system all by himself.

Or building a submarine in like two hours.

If they're gonna go with all this magic stuff and faux-history, I'd rather they just go whole-hog and have Da Vinci invent all sorts of insane poo poo.

Riario just stabbed a dude with CORN.

I haven't watched tonight's ep., but it's looking like this won't be picked back up for season 3. This is based purely on its current ratings - episode one had 580k viewers and every episode since has been under 500k and steadily declining. It's hovering around 400k atm.

Did Riario scream GOD LOVE ME BEST after winning corn-murder tournament? Was having trouble making that out.

Season 1 seemed much less terrible.

Hahaha, oh my god, I need to go back and watch yesterday's episode, because if those are the exact words he used, then that's hilarious.

Something I didn't like about last week's episode was how they had Lorenzo legitimately winning the test. It really seems like something he should have found an alternate way out of.

Well, as we saw last season, the Secret Archive has kryptonite in it, so it's probably safe to say that this show exists in the DC comic book universe.

No Lorenzo this episode was a bit odd.

However bad this show is the last few episodes have been completely worth watching for Carolina Guerra. I just can't get over how fabulous she looks in (and without) that priestess attire.

One thing I think this season really doesn't need is even more fracturing of the stories. The first season had enough problems keeping the story going through two plot threads, this season expanding it further hasn't fared any better.

To be fair that's a pretty big showrunner upgrade. Next season can't possibly be worse than what we're getting now.

I think they're gonna need to make a decision on which way to take the series: Either go whole hog into the magical alternate history realm of this season or take it back to the historical fiction political intrigue of the first season. I'd prefer they go back towards the first season's stuff, but either way they cannot keep this schizophrenic tone and have a quality show, I don't think.

I was really hoping this show was going to take the historical approach and abandon this magic horseshit

lorenzo's ex-gf's doublecross smug was beautiful

e: they can kill off da vinci (dont loving touch riario) and return to the medici-pope intrigue game and i'll be content

This show is amazing. I hope they get even crazier with the plot. I mean they freakin' went to the new world and met a Mayan (Aztec?) priestess who speaks their language and the dude who America was named after tagged along and proved to be the typical American douchebag. I watch this show for fun, I don't expect it to be Game of Thrones. You guys need to learn how to relax.
