He was a great character, so technically you could be correct, but the show still has plenty of appeal. If appeal was previously 88 out of 100, maybe now it's 84...
I'm not good at history, the show is based on real events though, right? I guess it had to happen in the show?

Very loosely as much of the detail about these events is sketchy at best. Some scholars even doubt the existence of Ragnar or that if he did exist, history has greatly exaggerated his life. All the evidence is taken from chronicles written much later.
No, I accepted it, and I think the cast is strong enough to keep it going...with the only weakness being Ivar who just has a way about him that isn't as natural as the other sons. He overacts a bit. I also like Bjorn Ironside (jesus, look how huge the guy is since S1) so I'm glad he will be heading up the army.
All in all, really looking forward to seeing how the season ends.
Soldato
Yea, i don't agree that Vikings is dead, i thought that Ivan the Boneless looked mint in that Chariot, i hope that becomes more of a feature in battle with him. I thought the last few episodes have shown the series can stay strong, at the end of the day it's backed by good writing, Hirst isn't going anywhere. If you can cast well then there's no reason it can't be good.
PS, that last scene was well shocking, even the human sacrifice earlier on in the episode i thought was pretty dark for Vikings.

There is just something about the guy that plays Floki that just makes him appear so menacing, like he was born to play this role.
The look in his eyes when he was pacing out ahead of the army, that is one guy I would not want to be on the bad side of.

Floki is wicked, definitely will get bigger roles once this has finished

He looks so unpredictable. You never know if he's smiling at you because he likes you or that he's getting excited about sticking an axe in your nut.

Oh man I thought it was going to be an epic war coming but then it skipped to Ecberts demise was gutted.
Still a good episode though and great season so far

King Ecberts fine, king Aelle, not so much
Soldato
Yes I thought that scene was awesome. A bit disappointed they didn't bother showing any of the battle though.

Hopefully they've had to save a big chunk of budget for something special
As for King Ecbert, he may not be dead yet but I don't think he should start any long books.

Another incredible episode, again, very dark. It's like they are sidetracking us with gore because of Ragnar's death.
