An anthology series set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. Each episode is the story has travelling warriors taking their ease by the fire at night. One of them tells a story. It won't matter that the stories have no continuity or even need to have the same tone, just that they're exciting tales of glory.

Making the end-of-season stinger I want could be expensive from a salary perspective, though. Imagine this.

The last episode of the first season. The warrior telling the story of the episode finishes. His audience gives nods of respect for the expert telling of an epic tale. The warrior turns to a hooded figure on his right who hasn't said a word. The warrior says "Speak, friend. Have you any stories worthy of these men?"

And the hooded figure raises his head, and it's Arnold Schwarzenegger smirking.
