God damn, I've already watched it three times
I wasn't the biggest fan of the last half-season we got, but it was good enough. This looks fantastic - ![]() --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

this has me really looking forward to the return of Vikings.
it's been a while, though, so I need to refresh my memory about what's happened so far. --- b-bb-box ... Copied to Clipboard!

I really wanted to like this series. I love the time period and I've read a lot of sagas and I have a major Norse Religion thing, but I just can't get over how awful Travis Fimmel is. He is the least fit actor to play a Viking I've seen in a long time. It honestly annoys me that it's like the perfect set up for a show for me, but one actor ruins it.
Oh well, at least The Last Kingdom is absolutely amazing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Season 1 is pretty terrible, worst season IMO --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Travis Fimmel was unbearable, but it was otherwise okay. There was some sloppy writing in parts, too ("Oh, my brother betrayed me! Guess I'll forgive him! Oh, there he is with a knife heading for my back again! What a rascal") and the dialogue came off ridiculously modern for a show so stepped in mythology and the sagas. Like I said, though, I'd probably love it if not for the lead in the early seasons. ... Copied to Clipboard!

BalanceLost posted...Cultural appropriation. You heard me. Foreigners keep taking viking history and Asatron and twist it for entertainment. Oden is not pleased. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dash_Harber posted...BalanceLost posted...Cultural appropriation. You ... you realize that the whole point of the Viking Age was that the spread a ridiculous amount of places and mixed incredibly liberally with the local cultures, right? Shit, Odin himself married someone from a different culture. The entire pantheon is founded on the principle of mixing and the entire people lived their lives on the principle of mixing cultures liberally. ... Copied to Clipboard!
