Season 4 starts in the US and Canada tonight, can't wait to watch it tomorrow.

[Niamh.]

Oh Brilliant!

[Lostie!]

And it being a double-length season just makes me even more excited.

I think it's gonna be split in half, so essentially it's like we're getting two seasons this year.

[Niamh.]

So excited for this and all those episodes too

[Lostie!]

I just watched the first episode. Loved it, so glad this is back.

Spoiler:

I'm glad they haven't brushed over Ragnar's deteriorating health and had him suddenly recover between seasons. I have to admit I found Aslaug's obvious annoyance that he'd woken up quite funny. I'm here for this new opportunistic, ambitious Aslaug vying to rule Kattegat, that's gonna be interesting.

Lagertha castrating that guy. Wish someone would kill Horik's annoying son though.

John Kavanagh finally in the opening credits . The Seer's been a favourite of mine since the very start so it's good to see he'll likely be prominent this season.

Speaking of, I really like the updated opening sequence. They didn't need to change the whole thing because Vikings has one of the best intros on TV but I like the little new additions. Updated but still retaining the epicness of the original.

Rollo . I think he's past the point of redemption now...

One thing though, I'm confused about how much time has passed. Some of the kids look older than I recall them being last season, but they only just returned from Paris and Ragnar only just woke up so years can't have passed. Maybe the kids got older last season and I just didn't notice.

[Niamh.]

Only just watched the first episode last night.

Spoiler:

I still like Rollo best Ragner is an annoying twat imo Good on Rollo for helping the French keep their home from those invaders

They even killed the kid though.

I'm all for the French defending themselves tbh but Rollo's still nothing but a serial traitor. (But Clive Standen is quite beautiful so I'll give him that ).

I thought the Rollo / Gisla scenes were funny, her ranting at him and then being outraged when he fell asleep.

(I didn't use tags now because I believe the episode is already available in the UK on Amazon. )

They did but the vikings brought slaves back from France I don't see how you can defend them but condemn the French for killing the people who ransacked their city

Rollo is such a hero and defender of the little people

I wasn't defending the Vikings, just voicing my disapproval of the kid being murdered (although I suppose if they're gonna take a kid on a raid then that's their lookout ) and pointing out how fickle Rollo is.

And Rollo's no better than the rest of them (he's actually proven time and time again to be one of the more aggressive and dangerous), he's not turned on the Vikings out of any sense of moral decency. And he forced himself on a woman in an early episode (so I suppose he's made a tiny bit of personal development by not doing the same to Gisla, still a terrible human but progress is progress I suppose ).

But yeah, I was definitely siding with the French during the Paris battle last season.

What's your view on Aslaug atm? People seem to be hating on her for being sly etc but I'm really liking these developments with her, I'm all here for her trying to take the throne of Kattegat.

[Niamh.]

I like her more now she got a bit of a backbone tbh and I my dislike of Ragnar probably is also a factor to why I like this new fiesty Aslaug Ragner and his stupid facial expressions and drooling over young girls in front of her makes me want to stab him in the eye, but I think her getting that girl was a way of distracting him

[Lostie!]

Just watched the latest episode.

Spoiler:

Helga and Floki's daughter dying. Poor Helga, everything possible is going horrible for her right now. </3

I knew I recognised that French woman who Count Odo whips (yeah that sounds so odd), it's Karen Hassan (Lynsey from Hollyoaks). I don't watch HO but I know the actress and partway through the episode it clicked where I remembered her face from.

[Niamh.]

Watched it last night Lostie

I knew that girl had an Irish accent, every sentence started off Irish ended french lol

Do you reckon Helga and Ragnar will get together? Ugh I really hate Ragnar. Slapping his wife like that and talking about her not being Loyal, I forgot only the women have to be Loyal.............asshole

Oooh that would be interesting, I hadn't considered that!

I just want Helga to have some happiness, poor woman.

And yeah, him slapping Aslaug took me by surprise (I mean, she was being callous about Athelstan's murder so I'd understand being angry but no need to get violent ).

Bjorn annoys me a tad. I don't even know why, he just irritates me. Both Bjorns did, actually.

[Niamh.]

I don't mind older Bjorn but younger Bjorn really annoyed me

I got the vibe that Ragnar was interested in Helga because he was going on about her being a loyal wife and slamming his own wife for being disloyal

[Lostie!]

Oh, interesting catch, I never made that connection!

Apparently, Floki's punishment is based on a punishment Loki received in the mythology so that's a nice touch. I guess that's what Ragnar meant when he told Floki "I'm sure you'll appreciate it, I got it from the Gods".

[Lostie!]

Brilliant news! Vikings has been renewed for a fifth season, also set to be 20 episodes long!

Also, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is joining the cast.

[rusticgal]

Where Cani watch the new series??? We love the Vikings...

[Will.]

Is it available on catch up?

[Lostie!]

I just find streams online but I believe they're all available on Amazon Prime too (including the new episode each week).

[Lostie!]

Just caught up on the last two episodes I fell behind with.

Spoiler:

Bjorn ripping that Berserker's guts out.

Ivar killing that other kid!

Lagertha killing Kalf on their wedding day!!

Here for Bjorn killing Erlendur next, that annoying little prick's survived way too long already.

[Niamh.]

I'm all caught up now as well. Rollo kicking ass in Paris

[Lostie!]

Oh I need to watch the latest one. I hope it was good since the whole previous episode was spent building up to the battle!

[Niamh.]

Oh crap sorry if I spoiled it a bit then
