anyone watch this.....worth watching? a lot of action?
I have watched the first 2 episodes.
They were both good but not great. I will keep watching but don't expect to be blown away. The main character is cool and his wife is really hot.
So far there hasn't been that much fighting but I have been told that a lot more comes.
they're not wearing those silly horned helmets that the vikings didn't actually wear, are they?
anyway, is there some real history / insight in to the viking way of life going on? i will check it out if so.

Some vikings did indeed actually wear horned helmets, fooo
I love it. In between watching GOT it was nice to give my brain a break and watch a not so in depth show. The main character is a badassmothorfvckor.

No helmets so far. If theyre life is really like the show then it was a badass life before christianity came in and ruined it.

maybe for ceremonial purposes, but not for everyday. you ever wear a helmet in battle recreations, foo? do you realise how ****ing stupid it is to wear a helmet in battle with horns? that's why.

that's interesting. yea, i could see the principles of christianity being in direct war against the principles of being an angry god-fueled marauder. being a viking would be more like being a member of the pre-christian judaic tribes.
There isn't a lot of action, but it's really good. The fact that it's the History Channel first drama, and that it's based on a real person makes it fascinating.
Really, really good television show.
Ragnar Lothbrok is a badass.

True, but also a douche
My friend said its better than Game of Thrones by a little bit (but he is super into Vikings for some reason) lol.
its good and i like it but nowhere near the quality of game of thrones. its also not as complicated as well, which is good. like puente said, your brain needs a break. also lack of nudity is prob negatively affecting such a show. being on the history channel will do that to ya. ragnar is def a badass :bowdown:
yes awesome show
This show is awesome
This season was definitely an improvement from season 1...Especially the overall cinematography and story developments.
