Vikings - History Channel Original Series

I dunno if I want to watch this. Im leery of History Channel making actual tv series. If it was like a "Story of us" documentary I'd be sold. I think History should do more of those, They are very well put together. I don't want History to become like MTV...

I figure its only a matter of time before all tv channels to turn into crap.

This reminds me of AMC.. before it started making series it was a channel dedicated to classic movies.

If History channel can make a successful series about some events that actually took place in history, I'd prefer that over them making more Ancient Aliens episodes.
 

The Storm Is Coming ... eeeehhhh sounds like ... Winter Is Coming from Game Of Thrones. 

Good production values and visuals. I'll check it out. 

Well, I watched the first ep... pretty good. I'll keep with it.

FYI, they replay the episode immediately after its over, so you wont have to miss talking dead.

Yes! I was able to catch the repeat at 11pm. I liked it. I think this show has some good potential. I'll keep with it and see how the plot goes.

I watched it, pretty good too. Love how that woman pulled the hot iron outta the fire and sent those two scummers running

I didn't know what to expect of this show and I'm pretty surprised how quickly they sailed west, killed some monks and came back already. I was half expecting the journey to last half the season. lol. I'm not used to a series that actually time skips boring months long sailing trips. I kind of like that.

I'm already wishing Ragnar's wife was my G/f.... WOW!!

History is impressing me. This series is awesome. I thought it was pretty funny how they had the vikings capital one commercials too

She is an impressive woman.

She fuckin shield bashed her hubby lmao!

I wonder how many raids to the west they are going to do before an army is waiting at the coast for them.

Well what has me worried is that in a Historical sense, the King's land he is currently raiding is the king that had him executed. lol I hope this series goes on for more than one season.

Spoilers! Thanks for ruining the ending.

lol. j/k.

I hope the series makes it to at least 2 seasons. But with how they time skipped the ocean voyages, I wonder if they plan on time skipping after his eventual death to show the exploits of his sons.

He probably escapes and goes an attacks the other 3 kings, and in the end they all team up together to bring him down I doubt they will be entirely accurate. Him and that King will probably long standing rivals throughout the series' seasons. Hell, he might not even kill him.

I bet there will be some epic battles coming up. But I think Ragnar might need a bigger force than just his raiding party.

I'm thinking this season he will spend more time fueding with the Earl until they clash and he takes him out. By the series season preview from the debut ep, it looks like they do battle with each other. While he does this, they will probably plant the seeds for season two and Ælla.

The preview for tonights episode looks like a lot of sh*t is going down. I didn't hear anything about it being a mid-season finale or anything, but the preview looks like a major plot change is going to happen at the Viking village and Ragnar looks like hes going to be killed.

I doubt he dies. The whole season preview after the 1st episode showed him fighting the Earl with axes and swords in front of all the village people.

Good. I'm watching the Talking Dead right now, but I'm definitely watching this episode when it repeats at 11.

That was a good fight. I was half expecting a three shield fight like in the movie "13th Warrior". I loved what Siggy (the Earl's wife) did as soon as her husband was killed.. She grabbed a blade and killed that disgusting bastard that her daughter was forced to marry. Haha. Good for her.

I'm glad that an ax was put through that fat troll that was always doing the Earl's dirty work. That dude was so annoying, I've been waiting for him to get killed.

I loved that he got axed. He looked at it like.. wtf.. and then tried to take it out like he'd be fine. bwahaha.

this is an awesome show

i was not going to watch it due to the History channel, but hot damn, this is some HBO epic shit

Love Ragnar, Viking honour at its finest, smash your enemies and love your family

Best episode yet of the series IMO.

1. I think Rolo's life will be short lived now that he accepted baptism. Floki is right about this one. He might still last into next season, but If he tries to turn on his brother for Siggy, Odin will be on Ragnar's side.

2. How terrible for Ragnar's wife having a miscarriage. I'm still not sure on Siggy's intentions, but right now she seems true to her word.

3. Floki is definitely becoming one of the most dynamic characters of the series. I feel like he is closer to Ragnar than his own brother.

I like Floki. He is creepy and crazy. lol. I definitely like him better than Ragnar's brother. I like how the show time skipped again. 9 months later, they now have multiple boats that can sail west and they sped right through the pregnancy. This episode was great just because of the amount of action in it. The one thing I want to see more of are women vikings. There were a few at the beach battle, and while they held their own, they were minor characters. It sucks about Lagertha's miscarriage.. I'm hoping she'll get back into the fighting though. Shes a strong female lead and I'd rather see her bash more people to death than rule them from a throne.
