This show has been top notch since it's return.

Potential-Monke · 06-01-2017 02:23AM

A stunning episode, fantastic from start to finish.

A what a send off for Ragnar, perfect! Do I doubt that's the end of him in spirit.

Can't wait for the next few episodes!

Delighted that Jonathan Rhys Meyers is going to be in Vikings. Loved him in The Tudors.

His role has been revealed here: http://www.inquisitr.com/3871125/vikings-season-5-jonathan-rhys-meyers-role-is-finally-revealed/

This will help cushion the blow

following Ragnar's death

Yaaay on rte 2 now double bill

Potential-Monke · 20-01-2017 02:06AM

Holy crap! Granted, it's jumping in time quite quick, but that's one way to instil fear! Loved it!

TerrorFirmer · 23-01-2017 09:34AM

I'm all for abridging but that was a fierocious time leap in one episode, which feels somewhat disjointed! Also disappointed that they opted for the 'fast forward' with the arrival of the heathen army, was expecting at least a skirmish. I suppose they're keeping it underkey for for the final two episodes.

GottaGetGatt · 26-01-2017 07:39PM

Gonna be a great finale. Good episode to build up the next.

Tristram · 28-01-2017 10:53AM

Excited for the finale!

My feet quiver just thinking about that battle...so much muck!

campo · 02-02-2017 11:43PM

Nope. Had a ten minute chat with him on set one day. He's actually a nice bloke.

That opening battle was fantastic stuff altogether.

silverharp · 07-02-2017 02:25PM

the quality of the fleet shots seems very realistic, how many of the ships are real? I'd have expected one or two to be real ones and the rest being CGI but the nearest 4 or 5 look real to me. overall are they putting more money into this series than the first, the production values seem to be better?

TerrorFirmer · 07-02-2017 03:01PM

Once again, I completely cannot understand how they did such an amazing job aging the male characters (Ecbert, Ragnar, Bjorn, etc) while failing to make any effort whatsoever with the women (Helga, Latherga, etc) who essentially look the same now as they did in the first season.

Good episode though, sets up the next season very nicely.

TonyD79 · 07-02-2017 03:31PM

They are Scandinavian women remember!

ziggyman17 · 07-02-2017 09:58PM

Loved this season and the whole story arc over all.... wonder where they will go with the next season ? I hope it does not run out of steam...........

Season five will start to show folks of the ageing of the characters. Lagertha included.

Any chance of raids on Ireland?

With Ivar on the show and looks to be dominating with king Harold in coming season it's possible because he was one of the first Viking kings of Ireland.

Potential-Monke · 09-02-2017 09:52AM

I honestly don't know if this show will continue to be as good without Ragnar. Even the last few episodes were missing that certain something that Ragnar brought. Floki was a good replacement, but they've gone and messed up his character imo (unless there's a spin off showing his journey from lost soul who doesn't know if he still believes in his Gods back to Viking animal), i don't know if the rest can hold the show. Bjorn is ok, but he's trying too hard to be angry Ragnar. Ivar is meh imo, i don't think he will hold his portion of the show unless he suddenly gets better at acting, genuinely couldn't care less about Lagerta at the moment, she's turned into a boring yoke. Same with Rollo, he's boring when he's French. The only one who i think might be able to carry the show is Ubbe, he's the only character who i think is managing his role perfectly since Ragnar left.

I really hope it continues to be good, but I genuinely believe that this show will fall badly without Ragnar.

TerrorFirmer · 10-02-2017 09:27AM

I think there's enough going on with the latest slew of characters to keep the show compelling, but none anywhere near as strong individually as Ragnar, agreed. I think it's turning into a more ensemble act going forward, whereas previously it was driven primarily by Ragnar.

I thought the same of Homeland after Brody died, that the show would be a hollow vessel without the character whom the entire show had centered on, but it adapted extremely well and thrived.

bodhrandude · 05-03-2018 08:35PM

I hope an excursion to Scotland is shown too, there is a lot of viking history with Scotland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Scotland

bodhrandude · 06-03-2018 11:13PM

Is Alfred the lead actor from Sing Street, he's really good in this.

expectationlost · 06-03-2018 11:47PM

how can they bare the (wo)man power lost in these battles?

bodhrandude · 13-09-2018 01:59PM

Is part 2 of season 5 coming up soon for this.
