    I think also the fast pace kind of depleted the weight of things as they happen. I loved Ragnar but felt little when he was killed. I’m not really trying to complain because I enjoy the show a ton but I think it serves it’s purpose well of being a low frills fun machine and I’m ok with that

    Why? It was known at that time that kings And queens often fought at the front as they wished depending on how they ruled.

    Perhaps an argument can be made for Uhtred’s son, but I mean it’s Uhtred’s son.

    Because they're physically frail and it's weird to see them slicing dane warriors. I don't feel the same about brida, so maybe it's just a casting thing

    I really enjoyed this show. Finished all seasons in a few weeks. The pace was breakneck the first two years. It didn’t allow some huge moments feel as large as it should’ve. The fall of Uhtreds brothers death being one that stands out. Season 3 and 4 you can see the pace slow some and the moments feel big.

    The final conversation between Alfred and Uhtred was one of the best scenes I’ve seen in some time. Just fantastic TV.

    Can’t wait for season 5. Would love to Uhtred finally get his home back but it doesn’t seem like his goal is to do that any longer.

    He’s lost his spirit after being defeated. I agree ultimately it’s where this goes. I’m just not sure we see it season 5.

    With all that said I think we all know how things end for Uhtred and it will by the hands of Brida. That’s my wife prediction and I can’t say I disagree.

    The ultimate outcome seems to be raising Edward’s first son, didn’t like that spoiler assuming they get there

    would hope he eventually moves to take back his kingdom. After his failed attempt I’m ready for him to get back on that horse and take what’s his.

    You have to think the series will end with either him or his son taking it back or die trying

    been trying to find a replacement for this show. Britannia is probably the closest I've gotten.

    anyone else have suggestions?

    I'm looking more for the historical fiction/war genre than specific to Vikings so I'll check it out.

    Doing a rewatch since I’ve read the books. I like the Beocca change from the books and other than that it’s pretty loyal; most of the changes are getting rid of a lot of the boats stuff and I imagine that’s a budget thing.

    Im going to try to get the last book this week.

    I usually understand combining characters for tv shows to streamline the plot but combining Uhtreds two sons (one priest one warrior) into one son (pussy warrior priest) was a bad decision.

    Guthred. I was trying to avoid spoilers. But ya I guess I missed how he came about or why they were rescuing him. All these names are confusing.

    How many times can Uhtred save the king and everyone only for the king to find a way to charge him with some wrongdoing? Or find a way to make him serve him?

    Also the kings wife is just awful. Always in his ear bitching.
