(54,065 posts)I guess we won't be seeing the pharaoh around next season. You gotta wonder how they'll keep the plots fresh, though, with the whole "wandering the desert" thing. I guess each week they'll run across a different tribe of Canaanites each season and kill them or something. Sort of like a "Wagon Train to the Promised Land" deal, maybe?
But what the hell was that floating down out of the sky in that final shot? It looked like some little crumbs of bread or something--but of course that doesn't make any sense.

(41,991 posts)Why did the angels (I think they were angels) pull out sword/machete/whatevers and go ninja on the sodomites?
Couldn't they just smite them?
It's a head scratcher.
