I need to watch this still, will probably in the next couple of days :laugh:

Second Episode was better. OMG though all i can think about through the whole thing is how I'd love to grab a scissors and cut off Ragnars manky beard

Just caught up on the new episodes. I'm enjoying it but I have a couple of issues. I think they've messed up with Lagertha by having her blaming Aslaug solely for what happened with her and Ragnar and for shooting her in the back. Just did the character a massive disservice imo. :idc:

Also it's still bugging me how Bjorn hasn't once been shown to acknowledge baby Siggy's death. I'd have found it much more satisfying for him to kill Aslaug for that tbh.

I reckon Jonathan Rhys Meyers will be playing either an older Alfred or Magnus, not sure which. I was thinking Alfred but I can't help but think an older, vengeful Magnus will return after another time jump so that's a real possibility too.

And with the ending of the last episode,

(That spoiler mentions something from the original stories that may or may not happen in the show :spin:)

The new episode :clap1: :clap1:

The finale was brilliant, one of my favourite episodes of the show :clap1:

watched the finale last night, i agree the last few episodes were amazing

I think it was just to show that he's a warrior as well as a bishop.

ah right ok, next season should be good, I fear lagartha won't last too long though, they seem to be wiping out the original generation

Two Finnish actors also starting on season 4. Probably just a one season deal though for them, i think.

Might be a good time for me to check this out.

and it's filmed in Ireland :hee:

Yeah, not many left now!

I think so about Lagertha too, especially with the route they've been taking Lagertha down lately. And in season 4 the Seer flat-out told her that she'll be killed by a son of Ragnar so they're already sowing the seeds. :worry:

Yeah I wonder will it be Ivor predictably or will they go all twisty and have Bjorn kill her for some reason (I hope not though)

That was honestly my first thought when he said it :laugh: Or maybe another twist on the words with a son of Ragnar being a cause of her death (perhaps unintentionally) without directly killing her.

Speaking of the originals being wiped out, I just realised the only ones from the early days still around are Lagertha, Rollo, Bjorn, Floki and the Seer. :shocked:

oh wow is that it? I still see Bjorn as not an original though as he was a kid in the first couple of seasons, Man - Bjorn is like a new character really

maybe Astrid will kill her in order to get Bjorn, so indirectly him killing her?

Yeah I nearly forgot to list Bjorn, he feels like a season 2 addition doesn't he? :laugh: It's easy to forgot the daughter Gyda ever existed, feels like a lifetime ago (and considering how many years have passed in the show it sort of was :laugh:). I wonder if she'd have been one of Lagertha's shieldmaidens had she lived longer.

Ugh, Astrid. I hope Lagertha kills her :idc:

I know same, i think she's going to be responsible in some way for lagerthas downfall though

Oh the Finnish ones are regulars?. Well maybe not one season then.

which characters do they play?

^ According to wiki, Harald Finehair and Halfdan the Black, brothers it seems.

Oh those are sneaky baddies :nono:

^ I don´t think any of the cast is very heroish though?

As they all seem to like a bit of slaughtering and killing. Which i guess in those times has kind of been like a normal everyday thing, like washing, eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom and working for example.

ah yeah but there are, I guess you could say some "anti heros" and those two are seen as straight up baddies :laugh:

Season 5 premieres November 29th. I thought it would be earlier, like September :laugh: Not sure about the UK release on Amazon yet but I'd assume it's not far behind.

Also, new trailer (looks brilliant)

I hope Lagertha doesn't die :(

Aw so far away!
Love the trailer though, I hope she doesn't too Niamh :worry:

So based on those last scenes in the trailer with Floki looking at the volcano, people think he'll discover Iceland in season 5 and I just found out that in real life the first Norseman to discover Iceland was called Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson. Really cool way of tying his story into real history if they do that.

Renewed for season 6 already :clap1:

Season 6 will be the final season. Makes sense, considering the show has spanned a good 20+ years at this point there had to be an end in sight in the near future. I haven't even watched season 5 so a big binge is in order soon even though I know almost everything that happens :laugh:

Are the Finns still in?

Have you caught up with Supernatural yet?

Brilliant series...we LOVE it. :cheer2:

Only just caught up with this. Glad to hear Final 6 will be the last though Lostie, as much as I love it, they need to end it properly

I'm on Season 1 of this, not as good as the Last Kingdom (similar show) so far but enjoying the dane perspective and liking the monk and Lagertha.

Season 2 is far better, loving Lagertha, Siggy, Ragnar and King Barlow Jr

I feel so sorry for Jarl Borgs wife who has to hold his ex wife’s skull everywhere they go :skull:

Omggg I’m glad they didn’t show too much gore in that Blood Eagle ceremony that was truly disturbing

i started off liking this, but then it just got overly gory/violent, so i gave up

I love this show

Me too...but I’m not holding out much hope.

We love The Vikings...

Worst scene ever...Made me feel sick.
