The Viking series on the History Channel

Two more episodes left!

Some surprises on last episode and although its been boring and not enough fighting,the last 2 should give us some good viewing.

I see everyone has been slacking!
 

Very interesting to see Ragnor's crew trying to lift their boats over a bend in the Seine river, so as to bypass the Paris defenses...a major engineering feat, given the technology of that time. These final episodes should be worth viewing, and leave some real anticipation for next years series.

Ubetcha! There has been a buildup of anticipation and intrigue in the past few episodes...with a really good finale potential for this final show. I noticed that History is saying this is the final "Mid Season" show, so they must be planning on another round of series coming in a few weeks/months. There are so many "sub plots" forming, that they could create dozens of shows to tell the full story of all these various points. I seldom re-arrange my schedule to view a TV show, but this one has me looking forward to Thursday nights.

Yes,this is the final mid season episode.they are going into battle,it will be a good one but they will also leave something for us to look forward with anticipation.

Online fan groups know their stuff,they were saying that Ragnars sons went on to be great warriors.
I do love Ragnar but Bjorn has grown onn me too and his younger sons seem so brave also.


Poor Aslaug,her turn to let a little loose,lol
 
What a flipity mid season flop of an episode,lolll


Started out so good,then. 'Scratching head'

At least there is something to look forward to in fall.
 
I liked it. But how can a king ( Ragnar ) just disappear for like 10 years?? Where was he? How did he survive?

I wonder who'll succeed him as king? Bjorn hasn't been doing too well clearly. I'll miss Ragnar's character if he leaves the show.

I don't even want to think about Ragnar leaving.
 
Hi to all - new to the this discussion but I've read all your comments. I think this series has been exceptionally well done and thoroughly researched! There is no detailed history but they have collected information from a lot of sources and put together an entertaining tale!

I would like to know why you all think Gisela would have been abused by Rollo. Most of Christian European males treated their women like slaves but the northern tribes - Scandinavia, Netherlands and Frisians always respected their women and they had equal rights to own property, marry, divorce and fight if they wanted to. Our views of history have changed significantly over the last 20 years. More information has come to light and what we learned in 1900s classrooms isn't as accurate as we might like to think.

Also - Not all Vikings were Norse and not all Norse were Vikings. The Viking raiders were basically gangs of younger sons with no inheritance who decided it was easier to slash and grab then work for a living - not dissimilar to urban gangs of today. Most Norse were farmers and peaceful people.

I haven't been watching regularly this season - am saving the last episodes for a binge-watch weekend! My heritage is from the North Atlantic and I have a real affinity for that era.

Has anyone see "Outlander?" The Viking movie - not the Scottish series. Great fun - even with an alien.
 
The 4th season of the Vikings aired last night...and it has injected enough "twists and turns" to keep a person in anticipation for the rest of the season. It appears that after Ragnor's extended absence, he is prepared to begin a new series of attempted conquests. This first show of the new series is definitely NOT PG rated, but then, neither were the Vikings.
If you missed it, the show can be seen in its entirety on the History Channel web site...however, this year, History is injecting commercials into its online content....but, if you chose the "30 second" option, the continuity of the show is quite good, compared to the TV show commercials.

I, for one, will be glued to the TV on Wed. nights....and probably watch the show a 2nd time, the next day, online.
