Vikings TV series

Cool to see that we got some weapon experts around here. When I say around here I mean the cRPG forums.


EDIT: Just went on youtube and there is several battle scenes where both the english and the scandinavians uses spears.

That video only shows fights vs others who are dualwielding (and duels at that), probably because fighting someone with a shield would get you destroyed instantly.

So basicall anyone not brining a shield would get destroyed, and because of that pretty much everyone did bring shields. Tough hiking, maybe, but atleast it'll keep you alive.

Nope, basically anyone bringing a shield would get destroyed.

Good point.

As far as entertainment goes, I think it's done a far better job than Game of Thrones this season. Granted, that's 10 episodes vs. 5, but I really do like the way they've paired scenes with Wardruna- the end of the episode right before Blood Eagle was amazing in the build up to Borg's capture. The finale's conclusion was great because it made sense all along- they left the clues throughout the season, something that some shows stupidly avoid in order to be 'unpredictable'. My biggest annoyance concerns Bjorn's relationship arc. That shit doesn't make sense. Then again, I suppose it's teenaged characters and those people don't make sense.

Finally watched more than first 2 episodes of season 1 it's... maybe not great, but decent show, though I keep watching it mostly for Lagertha

Yeah I stopped too after 3 or 4 episodes of the 3rd season. Mysticism goes too far and makes things highly illogical. Also characters are not developing nearly at all, they make the same mistakes every season. Just not interesting enough.

too many people complaining, u make a show. 3rd season isn't the best one but it does still keep me watching for the amazing battles and spirit shit

Elmuri does have it right, but I'll still continue watching ^^ nice little twist with the Wessex king and his son in the latest episode.

Those mystical moments aside, the show is still pretty decent.

Is it better in S3 than S1? I'm trying to get through S1 again but so many cringe-worthy moments in the first two episodes already.

Dunno about season 3, but season 1 definitely gets better after first 2 episodes.

I am on the fence with Season 3, there are bits I really like and bits I really dislike. I'm mostly tired of Floki and his bitching, that's all it seems he has done for the entire 3 seasons so far, he seems like a sulking child the whole time and I am tired of seeing him on screen lol. Most of the women in the show are just annoying and/or badly acted, not that many of the male characters are well acted, but there are far more likeable male characters than female IMO. I think the only female character I can stand is Siggy SPOILER

(click to show/hide)

And now she's dead there's not a female character I like at all.

The show seems to be all over the place at times and I don't think they're handling so many "main" characters that well. It is entertaining still so I will continue watching.
