No spears, dual wielding, no helmets, shieldmaidens and just really weird battle scenes, apart from all this a enjoyable show, too bad there arent more scandinavian actors like floki who is doing an awesome job.
I hate dual wielding also.

I wonder if the series will continue through the whole viking era, or if they stop it after Ragnar and his sons.

If it keeps making money, I imagine they'll keep making it.

It's confirmed 1066 is the end date of the series.

What's wrong with some dualwielding? It's not like the majority of the vikings are doing it.

Whatever do you mean by "not historical"? Do you mean to imply you know for a fact no viking ever picked up another weapon and used it in combat?

Yes.

maybe, maybe not :D The shields they used were prone to serious damage so if you have an axe and no shield why not pick up another one to try to parry with :P
