Vikings (show)

[Sir Douglas]

I'd watch it, though I fear that in true History Channel fashion, ancient aliens named after the Norse gods are going to come down in their motherships and interfere with the plot, because...

^ LOL!

[Sir Wolf]

Baron, isn't that already a movie? like Star Knight or Pathfinder or.......

[Mike W.]

Or even Stargate SG1.

[Aiden of Oreland]

Aliens

[Sir Nate]

Arn the templar is good

I watched season 1 last year and felt it was pretty good. I'll definitely be watching season 2.

Outlander?  Jim Caviezel as an off-planet visitor from an advanced civ crash landing on a planet whose inhabitants are 8th or 9th C era Vikings (for lack of a better term) yada yada yada pretty cool film.

Started watching season 2 on Netflix this week. Does anyone else think the writing is a lot different in season 2? The characters seem to suddenly have different personalities, the plot is easily predictable and the nail-biting danger at every scene is gone. Epps 1 and 2 are more like dressed up modern drama show episodes with a couple battles mixed in than the inspired tale of season 1. The only parts of the show that aren't predictable and boring are the battles. Or is this just me?

I can't see that picture so I think I'm missing the joke.  Who is to say we weren't planted here by some spacefaring race?  The earth is supposedly millions of years old but we can't go much beyond a paltry few millennia. 

Wolf, there is another show/movie called Outlander about a woman who falls thru time and ends up in 17th Century Scotland (or Ireland, hard to tell by the accent) and I seem to recall reading a book of the same premise so its probably based on said book.  Had more of a romance feel to it (as opposed to the sword and armor medieval epics we all look for).

Probably Scotland, you know, Highlander/Outlander.

Well I've finally see the end of Season 2, and wow, what a reversal. At the beginning I thought it was kind of stiff and predictable but by the end it was some of the best storytelling I've seen in years. Pretty much every character has depth which is something you don't see in every show. Although it got off to a clunky start, I'm calling it my favorite show of 2014 so far.

[Sir Edward]

I've been enjoying it too. After some of the events at the end of the season, I'm curious to see where they will go next season. This one definitely had a lot of in-fighting and politicking.

Yeah the sucked me in with some of the subterfuge of the characters. It was really well written!

Ah man! I have only been able to see bits and pieces of this season! I'm going to have to try and Netflix it. I saw an episode last week or the week before. It was the one where the shield maiden stabbed the guys eye and he got his head chopped off.
