Man these guys can't catch a break.

First, the jerk cousin no one likes shows up, invited no less, thanks to the crazy aunt with a grudge, intergalactic war breaks out (all things considered, probably the least dangerous of the possible outcomes that day), and it doesn't even seem like Corwin got a decent bachelor party out of the whole thing! Not one lap dance! ;)

Ah, we've all been there. Except you know, for the whole...intergalatic war-thing....and stuff...

And because of all the Norse-ness, I had "What's Opera, Doc?" stuck in my head the entire time :)

But, in all seriousness for a minute, very, very good show all the way around, and truth be told I actually couldn't help but (mentally) hear the Tannhauser Overture (minus Elmer Fudd) as background music at various points, especially the bit with Frigg....

"Well whaddaya expect from an opera? A happy ending?" - Bugs Bunny

....

Actually...knowing what little I do know of the Eddas, the Volsunga and other bits and pieces of Norse myth does make me a bit worried for our cast of players, and their descendants in the long run, though UF is about nothing if it's not about beating long odds :)
