DoggPickle posted:I feel like you were probably one of the fun folks here from sort of the beginning. Go Vikings, RIP SANTA VIKING, and I'm actually sad about what is happening with Lagertha. I guess that her time had to come, but her downfall has been kind of meh and awkward in not a fun way. I don’t think I was posting in the first or second seasons but I really forget. Been around for the last few at least, and have probably gotten into dumb arguments with someone over something before, most likely over people announcing their departure from the thread over a tiny thing in the show. I think Lagertha will end up in England again and die like a shieldmaiden, or at least I hope she will. Aslaug was probably more cut out to be queen honestly, but oh well, I still like Lagertha a lot more and hope to see her kick some rear end this season.

Dalael posted:I finally caught up to the latest episode and I am very much conflicted. I think Ivar just became my favorite character. I don't want to like a character more than I liked Ragnar tho, because Travis Fimmel played him so well. But that battle in York where Ivar is acting all crazy? Holy poo poo. Bishop Heahmund. He's based on a real Heahmund that I can't find much information on. According to an interview I read a while ago he was partially created as a response to Christian viewers who were upset that there wasn't a strong Christian on the show which I don't entirely get considering how devout Aethelwulf is and how much he's improved over the years.

At least if they somewhat follow the history we know someone has to get out because Alfred has to live on. Will be interested to see how that happens.

Trying to figure out which Harald this Harald is, I found that Sigurd Snake in the Eye's son gets together with Alfred the Great's daughter irl. Did he even have a son in the show befor Ivar killed him? Oh neat, he married King Aella's daughter.

I hate to hope about something that they may do differently just for the sake of being unpredictable, but I REALLY REALLY hope Lagertha goes out in an epic Shield-Maiden way or I will be a bit sad. I'm surprised there was Christian outcry about not having a Christian when Athelstan was a main character from like episode 3 or so? He was the awesome viewer translation and his viewpoint was the inroad to all the Viking lore vs. Christians. Remember "so what is Ragnarok?" AWWWWWWW Maybe they were just mad about that part where Floki was laughing about their stupid dead god and peed all over the church.

FogHelmut posted:Is Knightfall any good? I had high hopes due to Vikings, but I'm not ready to jump in. It’s okay, not quite the same as Vikings in ambience and grit. I mean, it’s watchable, but feels a little corny sometimes, like a kid’s adventure show where they crossed King Arthur with a show about Templars. The problem with that is, Templars have kind of a dark history and the story seems at odds with the adventure soundtrack playing behind it. It’s definitely violent (sometimes gratuitously so), and that makes the music even worse—it’s like I’m watching Cutthroat Island while a guy’s arm gets chopped off in detail. That’s the only way I can explain the odd feeling that show gives me. If it had Vikings’ score going on in the background instead of something that would belong in a cartoon called Templar & Friends, it would be a little more bearable.

Also all the Templars are French and live in Paris, but for some reason they all have strong English accents.

Your Gay Uncle posted:Also all the Templars are French and live in Paris, but for some reason they all have strong English accents. That’s probably the most forgivable thing about the show, but it’s also not the only show guilty of this. They default to that accent since it’s at least easier to understand.

I was wary of staying invested in this show after last season but i just binged the new season and the show is still good. I like the battle bishop, Ivar rules, Floki rules and Aethelwulf is the biggest cuck on television.

I love how Lagertha was talking to Floki like he was a child, with her repeating everything he said like, “Norse zealots just say the darndest things!” It was like he was saying he had a friend only he could see and she was just going along with it

I find Ivar to be one of the coolest character, not very far behind Ragnar. The actor plays him very well and the way he sometimes looks would scare the gently caress out of me were I facing him

Unfortunately for this thread, I can only conclude that most Vikings goons disagree—as about 60% of the goons who posted in the previous threads have apparently left Vikings for greener (shittier) pastures such as anything that isn’t Vikings. And also can’t stick with a show to save their lives because they made Ragnar their god and when he went, they went with him into the pit of snakes that is TVIV
