I thought it was disappointing, the least believable episode so far.

I don't really worry about the "credibility" of the situations they get themselves in, or all episodes would be disappointing IMO.

It was fun to watch, there's no need to analyze it afterwards. The end was unexpected, and funny. (IMO)

Dont worry I'm not sitting here wasting time over analyzing anything

If you wanted someone to agree with your post I'll delete mine.

No man, don't get me wrong.

I just thought it was fun to watch. I never really thought about how believable the shows were because I never thought they were.

You don't have to agree with me, no worries.

But the end was funny, no?? I sure didn't expect baby Jesus to look like that.

Why? Did Baby Jesus have a mullet or was he dressed in a gardener uniform?

Pretty sure the blood was real.

I loved it. You can't spend too much brainpower on it, just sit back and enjoy. Anyone with half a brain knows that the BBC doesn't simply let the stars of their most popular show randomly wander around the middle east, so it's not as spontaneous as they'd like you to think. James' injury, however, looked to be quite real.
