Vikings (7 Viewers)

[Seven]

Wished if you spoiled this as I'm downloading the first season now

I think I did spoil it. It doesn't really matter though, it's only the pivotal point in an epic finale.

I usually like to wait till the final season, but the teasing from my friends and from you guys changed my mind.

I wish I could stomach TV shows where the cast dresses up as their favorite Dungeons & Dragons characters...

I loved the season three premier. Such a great show. Ragnar is such a badass.

You must love Game of Thrones.

You must love Game of Thrones.

Precisely

Precisely

I haven't read the books, so I don't know if they're different, but: nothing ever really happens. And every character that finally shows some promise is instantly killed off. Easily the most frustrating show of the decade.

Rollo? Who the fuck cares about Rollo. This show is about two people. One is a gifted maniac, Ragnar. The other is sex personified, Lagertha.

Rollo is a beast

I loved the strategy of Mercia. Let's split our force with no way to help each other. Did they actually hope that Ragnar would split his forces to fight both sides?


also Rollo is the father of Normandy. He is bound to be an epic warrior king sooner or later. His evolution from a drunk, brainless thug to a wise, thinking leader is one of the best parts of the show.

You know it's not real, right?

the only important non-historical figure is Ragnar himself . All his sons are historical and so is Rollo. The show makers have totally messed up the dates and some relations though (like Rollo never claimed to be the brother of Ragnar). In any way it is a nice mix of fiction and historical events.

Well, it is unclear if Ragnar was a real historical figure or a mythologized meshing of several Viking warlords. So I'll give the show the benefit of the doubt.

We can only hope there was a Viking Jack Sparrow in the past.

Yeah was retarded. Good first ep.

Something will happen to Bjorn's girl though.

Wait til Uhtred of Babbenburg shows up. Just wait.

The trailer I got at the end of the ep gave quite a bit away. Did everyone see that?

Yes,but only barely. And as far as military strategy goes, I don't think the show is going to be a good representation.

What's the real story behind Ivar? Why was he actually 'boneless'?

What's the real story behind Ivar? Why was he actually 'boneless'?

I suspect there are dozens of possible explanations, all of which can be tracked back to a characteristic that is widely exaggerated. Perhaps he had osteogenesis imperfecta (sp?) like Samuel L Jackson in Unbreakable?
