TV Vikings

I liked the Ragnar parallel but it seemed so against his character. I mean they even foreshadowed it when they left Keive or Keve or whatever it's called. I didn't hate it but like you, I was a bit confused by the reasoning.

Ub's arc overall ended up with him being the closest to Ragnar. I was mostly happy with it and at least it delivered a satisfying conclusion. Floki showing up was great but how the fuck did he manage to sail across the ocean, alone, with no food or water....also, I feel like the Indian murder was unnecessary but it was to show that the old ways didn't work in the need world... Which was slightly dumb but I looked past it.

Overall, like I said... A disappointing end to the son's of Ragnar.

I can agree with that. But as far as character deaths go

Spoiler

I dont think anything on any show will ever match Bjorn's death.

 

[Mook]

It definitely ranks up there.

 

[IDAFC21]

Also to your "old ways dont work in the new world"

Spoiler

As soon as they alluded to that in the show, and then immediately went to the scene of that fuckstick entering the tent, Jeremy Clarkson immediately took over my brain with a "As I shall now demonstrate!"

 

[Mook]

[emoji23] It was such a terrible writing choice. They clearly had no other story written for the arc and just said fuck it.

Like... He was ready to risk EVERYTHING for gold.. When all he'd likely have to do is wait until both groups get close and they show them voluntarily. The fuck was he gonna do with the gold anyway? There's no one there to trade with or who the fuck knows.

I guess Vikings were early leprechauns? Well what's done is done. Overall I think this was definitely a worthy show. Now I guess we have the netflix thing to look forward to, but I havent really read anything about it yet

 

[Mook]

Apparently that's already been filmed or is close to being done. It for sure drops this year.

 

[IDAFC21]

I'll probably still be playing Valhalla by the time it drops

 

[Mook]

It's quite possible. And we're supposed to be getting DLC for it as well.

Arright, I'm gonna start watching this. Goddamn, 6 seasons long.

Arright, I'm gonna start watching this. Goddamn, 6 seasons long.

Its longer than that since some of these seasons are 20 eps long. But definitely share your thoughts constantly in this thread. It's fun to see others go through the motions.

 

[IDAFC21]

Feels weird not having any vikings to watch tonight.

 

[Mook]

I've been watching A LOT of Shark Tank......like, A LOT.

 

[IDAFC21]

eh

 

[Mook]

eh

Honestly, the early seasons are pretty solid and fun to watch.

So it just dawned on me.....Erik the Red is supposed to play a role in the Netflix spinoff, which is set like 100 years after the show. Erik died in Vikings........so.............how the fuck is he still gonna be alive 100 years later. This leads me to believe the Netflix show will have little to do with the History show.

Ever if it deals with his kids, they sure as shit wont be alive 100 years later.

[IDAFC21]

Down day at the base so we took today off

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Just finished the last season. What a complete shit show. By far the worst season.

Everything felt so forced and characters suddenly just change their entire M.O. Ugh I’m pissed!

[Mook]
