Its easy entertainment however, lots of action and the story is fast paced. It would have been great if they had put more historical accuracy into it. Sure, the story and characters can be fictional, but it would have been interesting to see how the vikings really lived, what equipment the warriors had, what family meant to them, how they got married etc. Instead the scenes shown dont really depict the truth. For example the marriage between Floki and Helga is similar to the christian one (just a bit more wild) and the warriors seem to lack equipment, most of them dont even have chainmail, noone has a helmet and some go full berserk with 2 one-handed axes. Cant really imagine that it went down that way. A bit disappointing imo. But overall still a good show and iam desperatly waiting for the 9th episode  | ||

But overall still a good show and iam desperatly waiting for the 9th episode Most vikings didn't wear chainmail, it was something rare and costs very much. Only way to get it for a normal man was to get it from a body, not something they could pay for. Same for swords, swords are worth much more then axes and therefore a commen man could not afford one. Vikings had good light axes to use and so seeing them use those in the series aint too weird I guess. I don't know about why they aren't wearing helmets, maybe they are also rare and costly ? About the characters, Ragnar is an old hero from legends : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lodbrok And his newborn son is also known and might even have lived ( there are documentairies were he is discussed ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivar_the_Boneless | ||

Actually came across something quite interesting on wikipedia. It is a list of the monarchs of Northumbria and there is one king by the name of Aethelstan of Wessex. His reign began nearly 50 years after King Ecgberht II (Does anyone know if the king in the show is I or II?) which would make Aethelstan to old, but it is a tv show. So now i'm thinking maybe Aethelstan will have a much bigger impact on the show than I once believed. | ||

Pretty satisfying finale. More of a happy ending than I'm used to with other shows, but I'm not surprised people didn't end up siding with Horik. He didn't carry himself like a king and had an apparent air of desperation. Not to mention he walked them in to a trap against the English, against Ragnar's better judgement, which doesn't instill much confidence. One question I have is, what was Floki doing with Rollo. He clearly still holds a grudge from the beginning of the season, but did he actually try to poison him? What would he gain from faking it if no one was there to witness it? Or did he just get a bad batch of mushrooms? Anyways, looking forward to the next season of Everybody Loves Ragnar. | ||
