I finally, finally started The Last Kingdom.

It's kind of like, "Vikings" but from the other side. And it's more gooder.  O0

That's what I've been reading - it makes Vikings look like fantasy.

I am exactly one episode in.

For my money you've got a good stretch of fun telly ahead

Gusington

Nice! I have yet to really read anything bad about The Last Kingdom.

I stopped watching Vikings because I had trouble following what was going on, but I am willing to give Valhalla a chance.

Overall, great series and fun to watch. I did start to get a little bit of "fatigue" going into the 4th season...but that happens with me and any series.

Definitely - it takes dedication for these modern season-spanning series, even if they are excellent. There's just so much choice out there it is hard to even remember what exists sometimes.

For me, Vikings went downhill after Ragnor got thrown in the snake pit. Just not the same after. The last Kingdom got better with each new season though Season 4 was a little out-of-step I thought. I'll give Valhalla a shot, not much else to choose from.  :-\

^That's the exact spot for me too. The scene with him in the pit was great and then I just lost interest. The series should have probably ended there.

In the actual Viking sagas and even in some Anglo-Saxon stories the whole 'Ragnar getting thrown in the pit, causing his sons to form the Great Army and invade England' thing is more like the beginning of the story rather than the end. In a way, most of Ragnar's life shown in the tv series is backstory filling in before the 'historical' main event.

I didn't get much of the story.  I bought the director's cut on Blu-Ray : it cuts all scenes without Lagertha  :dreamer:.

Gusington

Everything without Lagertha is just fluff anyway.

I am learning a lot from this thread on Viking history. I have a book that I am reading very soon on the Great Viking Army and did not know that Ragnar's death was the beginning of that.

Thanks 'Wing!
