Well, that does it for the Victorian Era. And a little bit of Ludwig II of Bavaria to cap it all off! I’ve gone on record saying that the only grounds for calling Ludwig dangerously insane was that he was, perhaps, unhealthily Rad. I believe he was more or less totally hosed and stabbed in the back by cabinet members hiring dirty doctors to cast false, but politically convenient, diagnoses. Werner Bertram’s 1936 biography, while ridiculously pro-monarchical at times, at least performs the useful service of foregoing the tempting Mad King of Bavaria angle in favor of revealing an appaling story of a decent, dreadfully shy and confused man being torn apart by political jackals.
And so it is on to a brand new story in but two days! It is going to be ridiculous-for-fun and, if I can shake my new-found addiction to Star Wars Galaxies for a couple of consecutive hours, it might even happen!!

It is minutes to the full moon, and unless Gilbert and Sullivan can convince the British heart of a giant necromancer killing robot to do something about the bomb now in the stomach of an elder squid god, it is all over for Ireland. One way or the other, EVERYTHING goes down today, in Episode 244: Explosive Jingoism!

The finale is a continuation of the aping “A British Tar” from last episode.
I think things turned out quite satisfactorily. Also, our ending makes at least as much sense as the ending of the Pirates. If not more.
