I thought a little too much was going on (there were four major storylines going on, along several minor ones), but I still enjoyed it and I'm glad it's back.
Sure is! great first episode. lagertha is a freak! lol. Jokes aside......not taking care of Kind Fine Hair when she had the chance to is going to haunt her. She seemed pretty consumed with power and quite arrogant to toy with him and not remove the threat.
Totally forgot this serie (thank you GOT, Better call Saul..) ... What a season it is already?
Season 5
Followed it till season 2. How is the quality of the next seasons?
Anyways, is Floki supposed to have found Iceland? Greenland is probably too far?

Yeah, both Skogafoss (waterfall) and Eyjafjallajökull (volcano) can be seen in the first episodeThe actor playing Floki mentioned they were filming in Iceland, so I'm pretty sure that's where his character landed
The show's starting to drag a little bit. The Vikings are battling like they've enabled God Mode and the enemy AI is a step below your standard Serious Sam enemies. There's not really much suspense when you know they're going to smoke the Saxons and all the main characters have plot armour. Hoping they experience some actual adversity soon.
Yeah I know but still. It's the show.But it’s what happened historically lol. The Vikings are never evicted from England, and they leave a significant legacy on the British Isles. Sven Folkbeard becomes King of England about 100 years from this time, and Rollo’s descendant William the Bastard conquers England in 1066 and is the ancestor of all future English monarchs. Sigurd was killed last season so we know they main characters aren’t immune.
The Saxons become feared mercenaries in continental Europe/the Middle East in large part due to their contact with Norsemen. It’s historical their dominance. Unless they were out-maneuvered/out-smarted, they usually won.
Yeah I know but still. It's the show.
Further, I know the history a bit but the show's suffering for the lack of tension. You just never think the Vikings are in serious danger and...hey, whaddayano, they aren't. There's really no suspense now.

Vikings is not nor has it ever been intended as f***ing history class. The invasion of the Great Heathen Army took something like ten years. On the show it was a couple of episodes. What I'm saying is there's no suspense because you know nothing's going to happen to anyone major.So what you are saying is history class is boring.
Should they have re-written history to make the show more fun for some fans? I personally don't think so.
