Bjorn Ironside finds himself in a new territory and must convince the local commander he is … You will never be Queen in Kattegat." Then they tried to make a quick exciting scene when Ragnar and Ivar killed all the crew members, but this was so stupid and felt completely pointless except for shock factor. I agree, I'm at a point that I am not even curious about the next season, I'll probably stop watching . Many of the episodes were so boring and nothing happened, literally half of them was just Ragnar walking around England. Maybe a few years from now, this show will be considered a cult favorite. We need some clarification through some more character building with him. As usual the character dynamics on this show are solid. It was all written perfectly, and the twistst kept me interested and on the tip of my seat! ragnar sucked in 4a, it has nothing to do with him leaving. I think it's a natural lull as they bring through a new generation so to speak. However this half we see Kattegat a flourishing hub, the people don't seem upset or under tyranny and Aslaug seems to be leading capably enough.

The Ragnar/Ivar dynamic is easily the best part of the season so far. Discussion. If I hadn't been researching the premier date every other day like an addict I probably would have missed it. It didn't fit at all, being able to just publicly murder your kin like that. but it also seemed kind of wrong seeing innocent people die at their hands. Some clarification for the conflict between Aslaug and Lagertha. That's what I think it's main issue is. Don't hate it but it's not got my attention like the first seasons. I hope they do better with him as so far I like the rest of the Ragnarssons. The sons have become characatures. I think its going to take a bit of time as they have to juggle more character but it should mean more storyline. Share. Again we get filler and forced character development for the sake of getting to a point where Hirst can tell the rest of the story. I watched the first few seasons in one sitting. We will have a separate thread for the preview at a later time. I bet there are a fair amount of vikings fans who aren't even aware that it's running right now and are just expecting it to start back up next March like all the past seasons. Well as far as them being non-lethal when she attacks Kattegat, its because its "her people" as she says. Blood and steel are universal forms of language. I have seen a couple of the newer episodes and that's about it. I guess they...don't want to make the women look unattractive?

After this, I myself felt that the writing resembled something of the following: 'Hirst knew where the story would go to next, but needed to add the same dimensions to the story as season 1 and especially 2 had'. I dunno why, because I haven't put much thought into it, but I don't dig the new season. Keep it civil, only mild raiding beyond this point. In Iceland, Floki fights to understand the will of the gods. It's because they are making too many episodes a year now. I noticed they were going non-lethal on a lot of them.

Season five begins with Ivar the Boneless asserting his leadership over the Great Heathen Army, while Lagertha reigns as Queen of Kattegat.

There will be no discussion of the preview in this thread unless tagged with the appropriate spoiler tag.

Astrid and Margrethe are just props with no personality whatsoever. It started in season 3. It must suck to live in Kattegat... this is like what, the third time it's been invaded by their own rulers? Ivar really needs to get rid of this Freydis girl to save his storyline. There isn't a single war in human history where both sides didn't kill innocents. Aslaug has been pretty mean so far first with her tripping balls covered in blood and now with some uber sword. I'm still surprised this sub doesn't have more traffic, I really thought the show had a bigger fan base. Directed by Steve Saint Leger. The scenes with those 2 were some of the best.
