The part where Ragnar became addicted to the drugs was a bit much. The Floki parts where he went off to start a new settlement needs to go away. Ivar is one screwed up character Expand Agree that Vikings is still pretty good but the Floki plot line needs to go away. But I do have to admit, I was having a difficult time accepting the time line this last season Consider the following Season 1: Bjorn is about 13 years old Season 1: Estimate Laegertha gave birth to Bjorn at 20, which makes her 33 Season 1: Plot involves Viking raid on the Lindesnfarne, which occurred in the year 793 Season 1: Given the 3 statements above, estimate Bjorn was born in 780 and Laegertha was born in 760 Season 6: Bjorn and Laegertha flee to England and ally themselves with King Alfred Season 6: Alfred's reign begins in the year 871 Season 6: Bjorn is 91 years old and Laegertha is 111 Oh, I'm going to miss Judith. She was hot 1

I'd make that closer to 15 or 16 but whats 4 years when the timeline is off by 40 or 50 years

Every single time there was a character that was Muslim and/or Arab, you knew they were there as a red herring. I'm not about to go on a "PC culture" rant, but the fact is, it just wasn't a surprise anymore. I first discovered it when I went on a roadtrip with my parents for a funeral during my senior year of high school. I had a portable DVD player, and we stopped at Target. Season one was on sale, so I bought it just because I'd heard good things. My parents didn't hear a peep out of me the rest of the trip. After that, the show helped me stay in shape during the summer. I had a Blockbuster account, where I paid $12 a month for unlimited rentals, of one disk at a time. So I'd rent one DVD, watch it for three hours. Then I'd get on my bike and ride two miles each way. Did this about two or three times a day. I was reading the original concept for the show was a comedy-drama about the 24 hours leading up to a wedding. One change led to another, and basically the only thing to stay was the real time format. They're talking about doing a different series now. A 24 hour real time format thing again, but this time, it's about a lawyer with 24 hours to prove her client's innocence in the 24 hours leading up to his execution. 1 1

Bill from NYC Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I'm surprised that nobody mentioned "OZ." It started off great when the guy got beaten and raped by Schillenger (sic?). Who would have guessed that the same character would turn into the world's most boring person?
