Personally I'd want the entire first episode about the prologue 2000 years ago. But that is extremely unlikely.

He has the Holcamania, brother. He believes in the three demandments (prayer, training, vitamins) and fears no pain, fears no man. /I'm hungover and I find this hilarious for some reasons. Judge not...

I hope Kellhus goes to bail him out and he screams "IT'S NOT A PHASE DAD!"

I feel like Man in the High Castle by Amazon was done well enough. Also I want people who did Hannibal to work on it. I feel like their writing and directing team has the right stuff to tackle these themes.

You know Bakker, he just casually dropped that info during the Author Q&A bit we had on the forum not long ago.

I too am hate-watching GOT because I don't think I'll read the rest of the books if/when they come out and I want some closure.

Humans could feel the direction of the NG over the horizon if I remember correctly, so any attempt at evasion would likely be pointless. Difficulties in concealing and transporting a large artifact also would have narrowed down its possible locations. A massive force that could cull the disorganized Horde enough to approach the Sarcophagus would be a threat enough to warrant bringing NG's command mode into play. One could also simply split your armies and have one delay, stall or divert while another attempted a suicide run at the Sarcophagus. The difficulty of adequately managing the Horde to respond to human strategic overtures likely necessitated the application of NG's presence more than the Consult would have liked.

EDIT: Ancient/Medieval warfare is difficult. Inchoroi for all their sophistication and cunning are working with a large set of constraints and I would even say a degree of inexperience. They are likely used to steam-rolling the opposition with technological prowess. Prior to establishment of military academies and official doctrines, commanders also played by the gut a lot of the times which lead to both stupid/brilliant moves in history. At loss for all their technology and knowledge, tactical and strategic fuck-ups are to be expected. Besides they are a race of lovers. I'm betting they were sporting some mighty fine boners at the time, risk of damnation be damned.
