Not saying I'm glad about what happened, but I always felt that the actor playing Sigurd never really got the accent right (always sounded slightly Irish to me), and looked a bit like Robert Webb playing a parody Elf.

I'm saying it.

Spoiler

Most talentless actor from the brothers and glad he got out of the way. His silly way of talking did my head in as it does with at least a couple more.

Ivar's character development keeps going on after what happened and one of the things I'm looking forward now as far as this series is concerned.

The battle was indeed short but I reckon was by far the best depiction of one throughout the whole series.

Finally, (former) King Ecbert was enjoyable till the very end.

Major new character introduced this week....

Spoiler

From that brief intro we saw of him, I suspect he's just going to be playing his Henry type character from the Two-ders.

[close]

But a good ending to that series.

Spoiler

I'm wondering what fait awaits dumb and dumber, (those characters, one who has the Phil Oakley like haircut) when Lagertha gets her revenge for the botched attempt at her overthrow the other week, that is if someone doesn't get Lagertha first.

It's worth having a skim of the following links for outlines of possible ways this could go.

That battle with the English was quite farcical ,The English were made out to be tactically naive and downright stupid. Would have been much better seeing them just beaten rather than chasing around like schoolkids.

Also..what was the ending all about?
I am defo missing part of the storyline there!?

That he would be the biggest threat they face next season?

Yep i think it will be Gullysuckers 2nd wiki link.

3 Episodes into Season 1

Loving it!!

Thanks RAWK (again)

Buck Pete · « **Reply #126 on:** February 14, 2017, 05:58:05 pm »

Just watched Season 1 Episode 8.

Essentially a 'Bottle' Episode but one of the best fillers I've seen for a while. Really interesting stuff and educated me on the Temple at Uppsala and the human sacrifices that occurred there.

The great thing about seeing a bottle episode is the knowledge that the final episode is gonna move the main story on considerably and probably be epic

I'm up to season 3. Decent enough. Wouldn't recommend it to others though imo.

Keep watching Pete until you get caught up, I think you'll enjoy it more and more.

I think I'm coming towards the end of series one - need to zip through though as Prime subscription runs out in a week!

I binged all four series over the last month or so, love it!

Now onto The Last Kingdom.

Is The Tudors worth a watch? I see it has the same creator as Vikings.

I loved The Tudors so I would say yes. The executions are a bit brutal though, but some will like that no doubt.

Series one and two of Tudors was really good - I found three and four not as good.

I'm similar to yourself, take me ages to finish some shows. Think I'd need to live for a thousands years. I've even started writing shows down and sticking a pin in it to pick one. Still haven't touched the recent Last Kingdom as I've been working through all the Marvel series.

Have finished season 2 of Vikings but haven't gone further as I heard a spoiler about season 3 which I'm not happy about seeing.
Just saw season five is on this November, so that's another for the list.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #143 on:** October 4, 2017, 02:37:30 pm »

Just finished Season 2 of this and three words HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!

What a finale to a season. Up there with Gomorrah first season finale for me.

Both had twists I didn't see coming.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #144 on:** October 17, 2017, 01:57:39 pm »

Just finished Season 3 and its was very good. Not quite up there with seasons 1&2 for me though.

I believe season 4 is a good one so onwards we go. 20 episodes too!! lovely

Just noticed that Princess Gisela of Francia is Roman Polanksi's daughter.

November 29th.

Spoiler

Season five begins with Ivar the Boneless asserting his leadership over the Great Heathen Army, while Lagertha reigns as Queen of Kattegat. Ivar’s murder of his brother Sigurd sets the stage for vicious battles to come as Ragnar’s sons plot their next moves after avenging their father’s death. Bjorn follows his destiny into the Mediterranean Sea, and Floki, who is suffering from the loss of his wife Helga, takes to the seas submitting himself to the will of the Gods.

The History Channel have a new series coming soon December 6th. Nightfall is based in the clandestine world of this legendary brotherhood of warrior monks. From their battles in the Holy Land, to their complex relationship with the King of France, to the betrayal that would ultimately lead to their tragic dissolution.

Loved season 4 - 1 and 2 were great, three was a bit of a grind, but 4 had me hooked back in again.

Looking forward to watching the 1st one tonight.

This show just ramps up another level every season.

And that is one sexy bishop.

mgs88 · « **Reply #154 on:** December 1, 2017, 07:47:35 am »

Thought the 1st 2 episodes were good. Sets the scene for the rest of the season nicely.

I was worried about the show with out most of the original cast, especially no ragnar, but they have gotten me invested in the sons now. Any one think we will see rolo again?

Holy shit. Just watched episode 10 of season 4 thinking what a strange ending to a series and to be honest thought it was about right with Ragnar asking his now grown up kids who wants to be king.

Just found out that was just a mid season finale. There are another 10 episodes of season 4 to watch!!

To say I'm Happy is a fucking understatement
