Well, Legbiter was the name of a real sword (belonging to King Magnus Barefoot, so there's a theme here).

(Also I know tod is German for death, but the name Todbringer entirely fails to be menacing for me, because it just makes me think of Todhunter, and Robert Bathurst is not scary.)
Still from Red Dwarf series 1, episode 1, 'The End', of Lister greeting Todhunter with a show of excitement, "Todhunter get down!", while Rimmer salutes

Still from Midnight Run (1988), of three men sitting abreast in a moving car, as Jonathan Mardukas (Charles Grodin), sitting in the middle, yells; his dialogue is edited to read "You guys are the worst Savlars I've ever seen! You couldn't steal a pint of milk!"

Restart the clock!
A statement on Calvin Robinson At approximagtely 3:00 pm today (1/29) members of the College of Bishops of the ACC were made aware of a post on X showing the end of a speech made by Calvin Robinson at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, DC. In it, he closed his comments with a gesture that many have interpreted as a pro-Nazi salute. While we cannot say what was in Mr Robinson's heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favour with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition. Mr Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or the right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his licence in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC. Furthermore, we understand that this is not just an administrative matter. The Holocaust was an episode of unspeakable horror, enacted by a regime of evil men. We condemn Nazi ideology and anti-Semitism in all its forms. And we believe that those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and diminish the sacrifice of those who fought against its perpetrators. Such actions are harmful, divisive, and contrary to the tenets of Christian charity. Finally, we pray that God will give us grace to lay aside our unhappy divisions, and we commend our nation and ourselves to his Almighty protection.

You've been kidnapped. The characters of the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Considering their track-record, and given that I am not myself either of these two, I am not optimistic.
