I’d like history to remember me as Wildbill the Randy.

Spoiler alert...

I’ve watching Vikings since the 1st season-I like series that have a lot of input by the Brits-they pay more attention to historical accuracy in their programs and even in their books of fiction-if they intend to follow the most prevalent version of history where Ragnar is concerned, he is going to be betrayed-by Aelle, I think-and thrown into a pit of vipers. He will later be avenged by a couple of his sons-Ivar the Boneless is one-they rape and pillage that part of Britain, and grab a bunch of land.

I was ready to see Floki hanged or worse by season 2-and I was disappointed that Ragnar just punished him then turned him loose last week-he is fanatical and dangerous...

I’ve been buying the books from Amazon UK since the first one-and I really enjoyed the 1st season of the BBC series Last Kingdom, too-Uhtred is played just like in the books-a badass with a sarcastic sense of humor.

We need that clip of an exasperated Hillary asking, “What difference dies it make?”

Check the movie LA Confidential. The name Rollo Tamasi was the clue that gave Russle Crowe the killer of Kevin Spacey.
