:joker: I was thinking he reminded me of them actually.

Niamh. 22-01-2016 01:06 PM

Looking forward to Season 4 though, have very little to watch atm

Lostie! 22-01-2016 01:10 PM

Season 4 is going to be 20 episodes apparently, rather than the usual 10.

Niamh. 22-01-2016 01:10 PM

Really? ohhhhh that's brilliant news

Lostie! 22-01-2016 01:17 PM

And it's a good sign for the show too, they clearly have enough faith in it to double the length of the season. :)

One of the things I love about this show is how it incorporates more mythological elements (like the Wanderer, the various prophecies, etc) but subtly and ambiguously so the show doesn't delve into being full-blown fantasy.

I love the Seer, I look forward to whenever he pops up. :laugh:

Niamh. 22-01-2016 01:19 PM

Oh he's really creepy though. Lagatha is my favourite

Lostie! 22-01-2016 01:24 PM

Oh yeah Lagertha's great. :love:

Siggy's been one of my favourites throughout the series too
Spoiler:

and I'm not yet over her dying. Why didn't mysterious Keamy from Lost help her?! :fist: :bawling:

Wasn't sure if you'd gotten to that part yet

Spoiler:

I really liked her too, her and Rollo :love: Funny how Rollo started out being the arsehole and Ragnar the loving loyal husband then that totally flipped

Yeah I finished episode 5 of season 3 last night. :)

Spoiler:

Yeah, her and Rollo were a really nice unexpected pairing. I've loved Rollo's development, I hated him at first and now I'm feeling sorry for the guy. :laugh:

Also about this latest episode, King Ken Barlow's Son is quite a bastard. Having his son massacre a village including children. :omgno: :nono:

Yes a Better Time in History

King ken Barlow :laugh2:

How do you feel about Floki, Niamh? :)

I fluctuate between finding him amusing and annoying. :laugh:

Niamh. 22-01-2016 03:30 PM

His voice makes me want to throw things :laugh: I really dislike him, more so by the end of the last series too

Lostie! 23-01-2016 12:36 AM

Episode 6 of Season 3. :clap1:

Spoiler:

I already knew about Floki killing Athelstan and Judith's disfigurement but seeing them play out was still really powerful. Judith's torturing was actually one of the most uncomfortable scenes the show's done imo (and I mean that as a compliment :laugh:).

Ragnar's eulogy for Athelstan. :bawling: </3

Will. 23-01-2016 11:59 AM

I've seen the add for Vikings whilst watching all the Ancient Aliens and conspiracy theory documentaries.

Is it worth a watch and if so should I start from season 1? :)

Lostie! 23-01-2016 02:11 PM

If you're thinking about watching it, definitely start from Season 1.

Lostie! 27-01-2016 02:12 PM

Finally got fully caught up last night. Absolutely brilliant. :clap1:

Just one thing is bugging me though,
Spoiler:

Ragnar converting to Christianity so he could be reunited with Athelstan after death. So, he suddenly cares more about seeing Athelstan in the afterlife more than his family? What about his daughter who died years ago?

I liked Athelstan but I think they overdid Ragnar's love for him at this point.

Niamh. 27-01-2016 02:14 PM

Yeah I agree Lostie ^

Lostie! 27-01-2016 02:21 PM

Unless
Spoiler:

the whole baptism was all just part of the plan to get into France when he faked his death. I mean, the first thing he did when jumping out of the coffin was kill a holy man, he can't really think he'd still end up in Heaven with Athelstan? :laugh:

I dunno, I just like to think he'd care more about the possibility of seeing his dead daughter again than Athelstan. :laugh:

Niamh. 27-01-2016 02:22 PM

Oh hang on a second yeah, It's been ages since I watched all that I forgot that bit

Spoiler:

Yeah, that was just for his plan I think f/

Lostie! 27-01-2016 02:40 PM

Have you seen the trailers for Season 4, Niamh? :)

There's a few on YouTube, they're really cool.

Niamh. 27-01-2016 02:45 PM

No i haven't yet, I'll look them up later when i get home :love:

Lostie! 27-01-2016 03:40 PM

I don't like Lagertha's new lover,
Spoiler:

I hope she goes through with her vow to kill him eventually. :idc:

It would make her weak not to imo, she definitely will

My husband is supposed to be a viking, but he doesn't look like that (sigh)
