The Vikings is underrated and under-respected. I suspect that many more would love it if they saw it.

I get teased all the time for watching this and not GoT, but who cares? Lagertha is flawless and fierce. Floki is adorably wierd. Vikings is just plain fun. Can’t we just have fun on TV anymore?

If I wanted to watch a show where women got sexually assaulted every twenty minutes, I’d watch Criminal Minds.

Aside from The Walking Dead, The Vikings is the only show I’m impatiently waiting for. *paces back and forth in the barn*

You sneaky ass you! You didn’t tell me you were watching my favorite show. You can have Rollo. I’m all in for Ragnar–WITH his long hair. God, they better bring back the hair next season.

Couldn’t agree more about Lagertha. When GoT is pulling GoT stuff with its women characters, Vikings goes the other way, with no rape or overt threats of physical violence needed to allegedly “develop or demonstrate the strength” of its female characters. Even Aslag, who doesn’t get anywhere near a sword, doesn’t have to suffer those threats.

It’s true it’s not as “big budget” as GoT, and some of the acting is questionable (Yeah, you Bjorn, but that’s what you get when you hire a USC student. *Go Bruins!*) but I don’t think I’ve ever been angry at the writing or the handling of scenes in Vikings. So count me as a huge fan, too. When does the next season start?? “Early” 2016?!? Argh! Puppies are NOT patient…
