momentum

LOL didn't even think of the Phil being Rome 2.0...good one!! :) I was ofc referring to the show "Rome" that was way too short :)

I know I know, but a man can dream can't he?? Seriously I think in this specific case it COULD be successful just because the show is so much about the TIME where it's taking place and the culture and the adventure etc. Ragnar had several sons that they could at least continue with but they could somehow fuse in some other character that you get to follow on some adventure as well. It's all about the writing and the casting. If they're both really really good they could continue this show even after Ragnar's possible death. I know I for one wouldn't stop watching Vikings if Ragnar died in the next episode for example, even though I love him and think Travis Fimmel is doing a fantastic job portraiting him it's still the world of the Vikings as whole that draws me and makes me want to watch, not Ragnar himself. Also Ragnar is more or less mythical and if they wanted they could simply drag the show out for as many seasons as they wanted with him having whatever adventure they want to then in the end have him die if they want when they want to wrap the show up anyway. I really hope they don't do a "Rome" with this show and wrap it up much too early.

Remember guys the show is called Vikings..not Ragnar Lothbrok....so if it's extremely popular they COULD go on with this story indefinitely or for a VERY long time considering the Viking age stretched for hundreds of years after him...just saying..

Can't wait for next season, my wife was seriously pissed off when I told her they only made 9 for the first season :)

Yes..impressive to say the least.

Yes I agree...I have to say the Travis Fimmel who's portraying Ragnar is doing an amazing job, you really get the sense he IS the character Ragnar, he has created this multi nuanced character who is intelligent, charismatic, curious, brave, ruthless, funny and slightly insane all wrapped into one, he does such a great job acting with pure facial expression and very few words. Really a great character. It's really interesting to watch the culture crash between the Scandinavian pagans and the English Christians...they have done a great job with it. You really get that sense of curiosity mixed with wariness and the feel that no one knows what to expect or what's going to happen next at any time.

Yes! loved the episode! Great with the king cursing him and swearing revenge....

Phil is right...this show is a lot about just staging and explaining the different relationships in the first couple of episodes..you have to watch to episode 4 at least and I would suggest 5 to really get a feel for the show. If you don't like it after watching the first 4 or 5 then I guess it's just not for you. I mean I loved it instantly but im really INTO this kind of stuff and this stuff is extremely interesting to me since I'm decendant from the ppl and places they are showing on the show but def give it 4 shows before cutting it off. But really no one is forcing anyone to watch anything, if it's too boring don't watch it.

NICE!!

Indeed..had they just simply not used automatic fire but instead gone for aimed semi auto fire they could have popped 10 peeps running away at least. But I guess it's not as dramatic as the sound of auto fire, just more effective. :) I love Tyrese missing shots at like 20 yards with a scoped bolt action rifle too...wow....he should just skip the bullets and use the rifle as a bat...would be more effective that way tbh. On a different note...the Governor losing it and shooting his whole flock of sheep was one of the greatest things I've ever seen on the show...you could see his frustration and insanity.....he's eyes.....damn.....craaaaaaaaazy......great acting....glad he didn't die, he's a fun char and now he can pop up when we least expect it. Carl turning into mini governor is awesome too.

lol I wouldn't watch it if I were you then :)

This show is just special...never been so on the edge of my seat watching a show ever in my life tbh....just amazing...I find myself hoping they make 50 seasons of it so I never have to go a year without watching it...

I think it has gotten steadily better with each episode with the 4th being the best so far.

Well I probably have a stronger interest in Viking culture than the average person since they were ancestors of mine but I think the show is great so far regardless of that, it's a show that anyone should be able to enjoy if you're interested whatsoever in history or even if you just like adventures with ppl going on the hunt for the unknown and use swords and axes killing each other etc.:)

Just saw the last episode and it's getting fucking good let me tell you...

They do have on demand, so far the show is fucking awesome IMO.

Yes I really think the storyline seems to be fantastic, you just can't wait to see how things are going to go down. Very well cast as well IMO, i like all the actors who seem to fit their roles perfectly.

awesome episode, I love anytime they go somewhere new to loot or to just check things out, you get to see how things played out there and what the last ppl alive there did to handle the situation etc, and you never know what's around the next corner. Love the return of Morgan. As far as Tyreese goes yeah he's pissed at Rick right now but he seems to be way too much of a stand up good guy to hang out with the governor for any extended period of time when he finds out what a complete nutjob he is. He'll prob switch sides as someone said at some point, maybe when things are looking real grim for Rick and co.

Loved the show, can't wait for the next episode.

Def going to check this out on Sunday march 3rd when it premiers. http://www.history.com/shows/vikings

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Darryl himself who will finally have to put Merle out of his misery.

One of the major points of the show (and the authors of the comic books) is that in a post apocalypse world filled with zombies, humans and their will to survive are still the most dangerous thing you can encounter..., it's a show about survival at it's core. The zombies are simple there to set an atmosphere, just an obstacle you have to work around to continue to survive. This is why they are focusing on character development and the lives of these different people and what they have to do to survive and how dangerous their interactions are with other people also on a mission to survive. I love this show, it holds me captive completely like few other shows can do.

Horrible, I hope she gets better FAST!
