Vikings...Anyone watch this show?

The bloody eagle ??? Brutal......

Lol yeah.I just finished watching it and I really expected King Horick to betray Ragnar and help Jarl Borg escape.This show gets the job done without resorting to the over the top ultra violence of Spartacus but I did want to see just what Ragnar did to Jarl's back.

I think that was an hallucination brought on by a combination of hyper stress from his near crucifixion coupled with good old fashioned Christian guilt.

just finished watching...best tv death scene recently....on a side note does RAGNAR'S son remind anybody else of a younger DOLPH LUNGREN?...The character is sure intense, almost the 180 degree opposite of his father , except he seems every bit as ruthless.. I pity the fool who crosses him

So the show is based on a particular group in history?

as far as I know RAGNAR is an actual historic figure

I just learned that Floki's real name is Gustaf Skarsgard..He could have used his own name,it sounds authentic enough.

If you ever watch True Blood, Eric the Vampire (Alexander Skarsgård) is Floki's bro in real life. Their dad is also an actor in a bunch of stuff (Peter Skarsgård) - Random Fact of the Day

While I am not exactly familiar with his work I have heard of Peter Skarsgard.I don't watch True Blood,tried it once at someone's suggestion but it didn't hold my interest.

Their father is Stellan Skarsgard of Thor and Avengers fame, among many others. His godfather is Peter Stormare, satan in Constantine and the crazy Russian astronaut in Armageddon. Peter Sarsgard is unrelated.
