TV Vikings

[IDAFC21]

Starting ep 17. Overall so far this season has been kind of a slog..... but maybe we're finally starting to get somewhere

 

[Mook]

Even the battle scenes felt poorly coordinated compared to previous seasons.

 

[IDAFC21]

Oh look its Alfred! Memba him??

 

[IDAFC21]

This Ingrid bitch is crazy. But god shes hot

 

[Mook]

She fucking sucks.

 

[IDAFC21]

Have you nothing nice to say about this season?

 

[IDAFC21]

But going back to the iceland storyline for a second

Spoiler

Out of all the kids that have died on this show, how the FUCK is that baby still alive after they've been afloat on that boat in the middle of nowhere with no food and very little water for what has to have been at LEAST a month or longer so far

I loved the opening episode. I enjoyed a certain character's death and I was content with how the Iceland arc ended.

 

[IDAFC21]

Man, opening of ep 18 I feel like David Attenborough should be narrating.

 

[Mook]

welcome to the payoff.

 

[IDAFC21]

welcome to the payoff.

I get it now. It's glorious

 

[IDAFC21]

Waiiiiittt a minute..... Did Ubbe and his people actually land in...........

I think I need to stop here for tonight. I'll watch the final 2 episodes tomorrow. Not sure what # drink I'm on now but focus is now in short supply.

You didn't pick up on that at 1am?

 

[IDAFC21]

Like I said, my focus was dwindling at that point, that's why I had to stop

 

[Mook]

It was pretty obvious MY DUDE.

 

[IDAFC21]

 

[IDAFC21]

Its time. Final 2 episodes.

 

[IDAFC21]

Ok. ep 19. Best ep of the season since the first one (11) The battle was pretty awesome, This Ubbe arc has finally become rewarding, and the ending.......

Spoiler

But WTF was Harald doing?? At least he got one final jab in, literally. I don't know why the hell he was out there just wandering around, but I'm happy he didn't go out like a complete bitch. And that Floki reveal at the end..... Honestly I didn't see it coming. I mean I should have. The "crazy man" talk from earlier in the episode should have been a dead giveaway. But I'm kinda glad I didn't make the connection, cuz it made the reveal all that much more awesome. Once I saw the tree carvings it became pretty obvious.

Final episode time.

Spoiler

Harald's death was fucking stupid. Another instance of someone magically appearing. Unless we both missed it and that dude saw Harald just skipping around in the forest...but the dude just decided to go back towards the enemy, and randomly finds Harald who is nowhere near his army... Just out for a stroll. For someone who had to carry this final season and delivered, it was a disservice.

Yeah, overall it was just stupid and made no sense.

Spoiler

Its the same shit Walking Dead constantly pulls. You're all alone in a wide open space, and then suddenly you turn around and someone who should have no ability to sneak up on you is suddenly just there.

 

[Mook]

Most of the deaths over the course of this show, with maybe 3-5 exceptions (3 for sure), have been huge disservices to the characters and the audience.

 

[IDAFC21]

And that's that.

 

[Mook]

Spoiler

What did you think of Ivar's death?

 

[Mook]

I NEED TO KNOW

 

[IDAFC21]

Spoiler

What did you think of Ivar's death?

Spoiler

Im torn. I know they were trying to mirror Ragnar, especially w/ the "Dont be afraid" line..... But I dont know. For what? To save his brother so he could renounce everything? And to leave that crazy bitch and that slaves wife somehow rulers of Kattegat? I feel like we really needed ONE more season, or even half season, to see everything play out. Overall, I'm actually quite happy with how the Ubbe arc ended. Thats the true shining star. When he first went off to iceland i thought whyyyyyyyyy? But that did actually have the best payoff in the show.
