I hated it. This show is now purely fictional, an alternative timeline that has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with anything that happened during the time of Alfred the Great and Danelaw. I guess Ivar will become now the emperor of the second holy Roman Empire of Norwegian nation after aliens secured him teh final victory over the Ming dynasty of China. But I guess my guesses are a bit to conservative for Hirst...what a crapfest. But at least it is now clear that Ivar simply lost the battle and that there was no great master plan behind the curtain. He just fucked up. And now his little Wuff Wuff has saved the day with this deus e machina Franks, but without Rollo. It would be hard to let him be present and side Ivar against Björn while remaining in character and plausible...oh fuck it. The show is now on the route like shows a la Lost or Battlestar Galatica were in their final days, albeit these shows had no historical framework to piss on. It's why I'm starting to like The Last Kingdom more than Vikings. in TLK they don't mess around with timelines or characters. I haven't liked Vikings as much as I used to since Judith and the priest had an affair and Alfred is supposed to be the issue of the affair. First of course it never happened, second if it did, Judith would have been shut up in a nunnery. How anyone can like her is beyond me. Not only does she have an affair with the priest but with her father-in-law too! Then everything is forgiven and they are all hunky dory. Please. The last straw for me was when Judith had the eldest son refuse the crown to allow Alfred to be king. The way she fawns over him is icky. She's forever stroking him. Lagertha's white wig is atrocious. Floki is....i'm not sure what Floki is now. Hirst needs to be shot. I agree to all but Targaryen-style Lagertha. But Lagertha was always a favourite of mine. Ivar showed once more his bravery by plotting the murder of his arch-rival Magarethe. Let's see how Wuff Wuff reacts on it... The bishop was top. Is he the Uthred of this show? Killing a high ranking representative of the church here and there but saving the day in battle, and with a liking for pagans. |
