Admiral Bosch posted:This show felt like it lost steam near the end; I think if they were going to have a one-season test run they should have finished on a climactic showdown with the Englishmen, even if that wouldn't be as historically accurate. That said, the woman that plays Aslaug is easily one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. idk I felt like the creepy music really added weight to the myriad things going on, and yes Aslaug is bangin

Full Fathoms Five posted:Mostly it's just minor stuff like streamlining family trees (skipping Ragnar's second wife, divvying up his children differently, etc.) and fudging the years on a few minor characters I wanted to get upset when I saw the dreaded 'four years later' between S1 and 2 but then it made sense when Ragnar talked about replenishing young people lost in the plague.

hypersleep posted:Speaking of Siggy and the time jump, what the gently caress was Siggy doing for four years? Are we really suppose to believe she just sort of stuck around living an invisible life while Rollo was an alcoholic for FOUR YEARS? They write her character as someone who doesn't waste time seeking out and taking advantage of opportunities, so why would she essentially stay in limbo for four years? Feels like lazy writing, to be honest. Probably waging a daily battle with Rollo about being a bum while trying to find opportunities to advance her own position- which requires a man.

hypersleep posted:It just seems weird that she'd still be hanging around Rollo instead of hooking up with a higher status dude at the first opportunity. I guess you could assume she has no other options in Kattegat and needs someone to support her (although how Rollo supports himself is another question, never mind supporting Siggy too). She was packing up chests of goods/treasure right after Haraldson was killed so she probably has earls wealth squared away somewheres. Rollo probably mooches off of her. She needs him because a single woman in that kind of society is nothing and is actually in a degree of danger. He just needs her for poon and drinking money

I wonder if Rollo will win his redemption if he can keep Auslag and sons safe until Ragnar returns or if he'll be shunned even more for not dying with the village.

darthzeta88 posted:God season 2 is so epic... Also how did the messenger find Ragnar since Ragnar himself got lost to get there? This was a killer episode and next week looks even better but theres a couple more shaky things like Lagertha kicked her husbands rear end and took his men and who were the dudes that Athelstan was hunting with? They looked like englishmen..then they were attacked by englishmen

Maksamakkara posted:Well I'll be pretty disappointed if Athelstan reverts back to Christ. Anyhow, I have now watched two Tudors episodes and, maybe this is due to my bad flue and fever, but it is qualitywise nowhere near the Vikings. Still going to watch an episode or two before finally ditching it. I tried to like Black Sails this way too but all the GoT style sexuality killed it for me. I made it three episodes in before ditching it.

savinhill posted:Horik's just a selfish, flighty dickhead and he stupidly treats his allies like they're his subjects. The whole reason things got ugly between Ragnar and Yarl Borg is because King Horik decided he couldn't stomach having Borg come along on the raid at the last minute and dumped the breakup speech off on Ragnar. Now he expects Ragnar to forgive Borg after Borg's done much worse to Ragnar than he ever did to Horik. Well judging from the preview it looks like Borg tries to weasel Horik into helping him and most likely both will be exiting the show Siggy will need to find a new slam piece

Falukorv posted:It also means castle in Swedish (related to Burg). Borg was also a soldier sobriquet in the Swedish army during the early modern period. I like Jarl Borg a lot better than Horik. The dead wife skull and crazy eyes make him interesting. Much more so than old lechers.

I finally got around to watching this episode and I cant believe they killed Jarl Borg. I thought for sure he would escape and they showed it too! With all the implied violence even though it was artsy enough not to show much that was wild. I wonder what Jarl Borgs death does for King Horiks confessed desire to kill Ragnar. Or if the arrival of the "new ally" puts all that poo poo on the back burner..

maninacape posted:It could also be a case of good old Viking humour, i.e. he had very large bones and was a pretty huge guy. Maybe Floki gives him the nickname. It'll be interesting to see which way they go with it on the show thats for sure, given all the speculation about the chronicles and ballads.
