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. No, the Bishop and Uhtred are very different. TLK is much more realistic than Vikings. Uhtred is a pagan himself but he never meant to kill the priest or monk or whatever he was. Also Uhtred shares Alfred's dream (the Alfred in TLK) of having the Saxons and Danes live peacefully together as the only way to stop the endless wars between them. I don't like the Bishop, and I don't understand why Hirst has this love of having men of the church join or be enamored by, the Vikings, break their vows but still act all holier than thou. Alfred's eldest brother did in fact rule before him and died in battle, I think. |
