Vikings season 4 starts tomorrow

I really enjoyed last night's episode. I have to watch it again because I was dead tired but the drunken conversation between Ragnar and the King of Wessex was great.

Great after-the-show show detailing the historical connection to the sons of Ragnor. Makes a little more sense of what's happening in the program.

What's the name of that show? I watch everything on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime so I'll have to find it separately.

[Sir Slash]

"Real Vikings".

[Staggerwing]

Thanks. I'll have to watch it to see how the show writers decided to incorporate legend and history into the scripts, using artistic license.

[JasonPratt] Perhaps it's best to think of the show as a sort of fantasy not beholden to actual history. A lot of what is used as story material for the Vikings series seems a bit compressed time-wise. For example, the series of attacks on Paris actually occurred over the span of half a century but the tv show makes it seem as if they were only a few years apart. Also, Rollo and Harald Fairhair should be much younger than shown in the series unless the last attack on Paris really does happen many decades later; and 'Count Odo' wasn't executed in the palace dungeon at the Emperor's behest, but lived on to eventually be elevated to king when Emperor Charles 'the Fat' was overthrown. Charles himself looks pretty fit rather than fat. [/JasonPratt]



(j/k Jason. Couldn't resist :) )

OK, ok, ok. While the last 2 episodes have been very un-Vikings-like, they were done very well I will give them that. And while I won't spoil anything, I've got to say along with all the other bad news recently, I'm bummed. I feel like I'm losing all my old, best friends.  :-\

Yeah, tough episode....did not expect it so soon:(

[Gusington]

GODDAMMIT!!!!

[Sir Slash]

Time for a Reality Check. You Brits tell me, are there that many snakes in Britain?  :nerd:

[Gusington]

My Irish aunt tells me there are none in Ireland.

[Staggerwing]

I have not seen the episode yet but I can take a very good guess as to what you are talking about.

[Gusington]

It broke my heart.

[Grim.Reaper]

2016 really does suck!
