@rollotwomassey Salutes to those of lesser rank were and still are common in the military though usually only as a returned salute after the person of lesser rank has saluted first. They are also given freely to those of lesser rank if the person of higher rank feels particular pride in them or ...

@amidthephantomsrose In the book they only marry a very very long time later and mostly out of deep friendship, respect and generally loneliness for both of them as they get old. Their previous partners were their true loves and that was understood by both of them.

@TheGreg131313 Cooper was in all three of the books. Rather a shame that got rid of his whole story throughout the movies. The first movie stuck pretty closely to the book, but the second and third movies were changed a LOT. They're good movies though. A lot of books just don't translate well...

@KB1978 Furthermore, "akita inu" includes both distinct Akita lines (what is now known as the "American" Akita and the "Japanese" Akita) as the word "inu" in Japanese merely means "dog". The breed name is "Akita" whether it follows the "American" style or the more recent "Japanese" style. Addin...

@RustiSavage I'm convinced it's yet another "Akita Thing". Both of mine expressed their love for any person, animal or thing by smooshing them. Usually it was me. I guess they live by the motto - "You always squish the ones you love"... even if it's just mommy's sock. I was forever hunting down...

@lipadier It's Captain Bligh (pronounced "Bl-eye") - not Blight. Anthony Hopkins actually looks extraordinarily like him according to a portrait painted of Bligh in 1814.

@ARIESIsBetterThanLeo Only cavalry fought on horseback. Shaw being a Col. would not normally have fought at all - officers ranked higher than that of a captain didn't fight (most of them were older men, and higher ranked officers couldn't afford to be lost in battle). Shaw let the horse go becaus...

@paisabombom2133 Where in the world do you think tribal tattooing came from? It goes back thousands of years to the Neolithic ("New Stone Age") period. In Japan it can be traced back to about 10,000 years ago (Paleolithic period). Julius Caesar even described the heavy elaborate tattoos of the...

@December2012Junkie I admit I cried at the end of the series and I'm not the type to get all mushy like that because of a film. I imagine that they ended the series with Robin's death because Jonas Armstrong only had a three year contract and never had any intention of continuing after that. It...

@loquatiousbadger ooops... forgot to mention... It's not that axe beheadings were botched it's just the nature of axe beheadings. This was the reason the French invented the guillitine afterall... so that the head would come off all the time on one clean stroke. And there were some genuinely bo...

@agnes080 Where they usually are. Apparently, you were too busy focusing elsewhere to notice them. LOL!

@capalmore sounds like a hick New Jersey accent. Not even close to a New England accent.

@JUKIO01 No, the recurve bow was used in the Middle East by those people (who the Romans called Saracens). The Romans used regular straight bows as other Europeans of the time did. Robin would have discovered the recurve bow while in the Middle East fighting in King Richard's Crusades and obviou...

@BlackWidowWii Time. Ever lost someone you love? That's usually how it goes. At first it's numbness/denial and weeks or months later anger/depression/guilt/grief. For most people it takes about a year before you start feeling really normal again.

@cksgirlforever He can marry other people to each other, but not himself... works the same way with clergy. Doesn't matter whether or not it was a legal marriage since that wasn't the point anyway. Technically, I suppose it could have been legal with the king officiating... they just said their ...

@JUKIO01 It isn't Stonehenge. Besides, there's several similar stone megaliths all over Britain and northern France... Stonehenge is just the largest and with the largest stones.

@motownazn It's because he's losing his marbles. When that happens people tend to stop caring about things like bathing, shaving, wearing clean clothes, etc. I think it's pretty evident that Guy is cracking up probably because of killing Marian. Armitage does a great job of Guy's character goin...

@naomilaboo Henry undoubtedly ordered it done or Cromwell would have been in BIG trouble. The idea of Anne's exucution had to have come from Henry seeing as it was his idea to bring false charges against his first wife in order to be rid of her. Besides, in less than 24 hours after Anne's executi...
