No wonder he had the big grin lying there! Now if he could persuade the young fella's new mot as well............;)

Thought it a bit strange to kill the younger kids and let the older son live, surely he would be more of a threat to Ragnor in a few years?

BoJack Horseman · 27-11-2014 6:15pm

Question

Did Ragnar's younger sons all die?

No, they are alive.

So, I see Season 3 has started. Kinda stopped near the end of the 1st season, as it started to wane, but wondering is it worth keeping with it, and did it pick up again in Season 2?

nc19 · 20-02-2015 4:46pm

I was the same tbh

stick with it

somesoldiers · 20-02-2015 11:32pm

I enjoyed it, will wait til s3 finishes to binge it

One Question · 07-04-2015 4:26pm

Anyone know how many instalments in season 3?

TwoShedsJackson · 07-04-2015 5:32pm

10.

It could get very interesting as it develops, strange that he didn't mention one of the most important Viking colonies, the one he's working/living in!.

"According to actor Clive Standen (Rollo), future seasons may feature characters such as Alfred the Great, Leif Ericson, and Ivar the Boneless, as well as travels to Iceland, Russia, France, and across the Atlantic.[17]"

They'll have to do a bit of a time leap to include Alfred the Great (Ecberts's grandson). He appeared in last week's episode in nappies (or whatever babies wore back then).

Enjoyed the first 2 seasons . This season has been decent as well

fernandohierro · 15-04-2015 10:44pm

i take it Ragnar is going to have wild sex with that nymphomaniac english princess

btw - is it necessary to use the language of the day its kinda irritating, wouldn't it be easier for the viewer to have them all just speaking english

They normally do but I guess it was difficult to portray the language barrier without using two separate languages!

I think the son may have got a dye job too - wasn't he a red head before?

yes, but is there really a need to portray the language barrier?

neris · 21-09-2015 9:04pm

Someone has anger issues

neris · 21-09-2015 9:45pm

The gore just keeps coming

fryup · 23-09-2015 10:14am

fryup · 01-10-2015 9:19am

the battle scenes in mondays episode were brilliant up there with Braveheat and Gladiator

neris · 05-10-2015 9:27pm

Some amount of riding tonight and as for ragnars wound getting healed you wouldnt see that on glenroe

philstar · 05-10-2015 11:51pm

Yes I think so, on his wound.

Sam Kade · 06-10-2015 10:12am

I watched the arm chopping episode, is there any actual story in the series? It just seems to jump from one character to the next with no story.

neris · 06-10-2015 4:08pm

this series seems a bit more all over the place and alot of it seems to be shot in a darker light. last nights episode seem to muddle on from 1 sex scene to the next without any story at all

Mr.Prodston · 06-10-2015 4:24pm

I thought season 2 was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it.

This season so far has been very poor/boring though. It's been a glorified soap so far to an extent without a whole lot happening. I expect it to pick up though!

I want to try and google to fill in some of the gaps and the characters (plus mythology) but I know I'll end up spoiling the show considering season 3 is long over if I try to figure out who some of the people are.

So it gets the benefit of the doubt for now but my interest could start to wane soon.

Galwayguy35 · 06-10-2015 5:44pm

Was Lagertha suggesting to Rollo that he is Bjorns father when they were talking together?

neris · 19-10-2015 9:25pm

No shortage of blood again this week.

fryup · 22-10-2015 10:33am

that torture scene with the princess was horrific, stomach churning

and why did Ragnar kill the old man...to put him out of his misery???

I presume to silence him so nobody could find out about everyone being wiped out in Wessex. Thus enabling him to pursue Paris without criticism. Or well that's what I took from it anyway.

Yeah I though that as well, doesn't make sense on the other hand though seeing as Floki knows it as well.

Speaking of Floki I can see why he killed Athelstan, shoving Christianity in their faces and throwing his bracelet in the water wasn't the smartest thing to do.

BoJack Horseman · 22-10-2015 2:49pm

Sorry to see Athelstan go......

The timelines are stretching without any character aging at all.

The very obviously 30-something Fimmell & Winnick (Ragnar/Lagartha) are now grandparents.

C'mon Kattegat..... you aren't Darndale!

I saw a clip of next season online, they still look the same even though more time has passed!

eire4 · 27-10-2015 7:06pm

Really enjoyed the first 2 seasons and am looking forward to watching season 3 when I get some time.

neris · 02-11-2015 11:45am

i just watched last weeks one on the player yesterday. the story line seems to be all over the place and things that are meant to happen months and years apart are happening in one or 2 episodes. as for the characters not changing the only thing ragner seems to have changed looks wise is his hair

philstar · 02-11-2015 11:49pm

Well, the vikings certainly got their comeuppance and about time too

*a pity the French didn't show the same courage centuries later when the nazi's arrived on their doorstep

BoJack Horseman · 03-11-2015 12:48am

This episode was certainly a big step up in terms of scale.
A lot of money must have been spent on it had some impressive use of CGI & props/models.

in history things went a little better for our heroes.....
They got paid literally tonnes to go away after a successful pillage.

The Franks could not assemble any effective defence against the invaders, and the Vikings withdrew only after being paid a ransom of 7,000 livres (French pounds) of silver and gold by Charles the Bald, amounting to approximately 2,570 kilograms.

we'll see what happens next week.... maybe they will have another crack at it.

brilliant episode with action from the start, up to motion picture standard

can't see how that will be possible as half of them were wiped out

Galwayguy35 · 06-11-2015 6:33pm

Ragnar seems to be badly hurt, doubtful he will be fighting for a while.

The French princess is Roman Polanski's daughter I think.

fryup · 09-11-2015 11:35pm

must say i'm enjoying this current series, brilliant battle scenes...did they really have that giant rolling pin weapon in them days??

Ragnar turning Christian won't go down well with his cohorts

BoJack Horseman · 10-11-2015 1:01am

Yeah, his buddies seemed pretty shocked at him joining 'team christ'.

The interpreter is the weirdest looking thing.
I was certain he was just a very ugly woman until this episode.

BoJack Horseman · 10-11-2015 1:06am

And I wonder will the season finalé be Rollo's big moment, or will that be left till season 4?

I thought it was a woman aswell. weird mouth and gnashers on him. last night and last week were 2 of the better episodes this season although I don't like that french king or the princess, hope in true french royal style she looses her head. speaking of loosing heads that scene with your man getting his hand chopped before the viking lost his head was fairly gruesome

Oh my god. Kathryn Winnick
