The show must have hired some of 0bama’s retread writers this season. The story has gone awry.
Those Viking chicks are hot, though.
You give your Viking wife a compliment and she stabs you in the eye and some guy cuts off your head.
Your Viking neighbor invites your company to go on a fishing trip, and then he locks your employees in the barn and burns them up.
The Vikings.....don’t go to their parties.
Think of this also: They both will be finished soon.
That will get the left's attention.
it was a Roman Empire thing and pre-Christian at that
"Crucifixion?"
"Yes."
"Good...Out of the door....line on the left, one cross each."
Ever notice, in the movie KING ARTHUR (2004) how those “evil” monks are torturing pagans to force them to become Chrisitans?
Never get your religious beliefs or historical learning from the movies.
I don’t watch it for historical value. Although the crucifixion scene was kind a bizarre, I watch it for pure entertainment value. And it is great from that perspective. There is so much going on in one hour, you can’t help but be entertained. Great show.
Yeh the boyfriend thing was a stretch but c’mon its a great show. Its entertainment not historical fact.
Although, I watch almost no drama on TV, I watched this series last year because I thought I would learn some history. The only reason, I think, that I did not give up on it when it veered off into stupid stuff was that the lead male actor looks very much like my deceased son.
There is so much history that could have been done well here, but they just had to junk it up. Will not be watching this year.
Say what you will,
What I’ve taken from this show is my new Smith and Wesson.
A Battle axe made by the arms company.
Jayzus! people, lighten up and enjoy an exciting TV series containing enough realism, plot and good acting to put it into the top ten of all programs watched on Thursday nights.
It is obvious that a good deal of research has gone into the series, nitpicking aside, and before Freepers rail on about the Church not crucifying apostates, be happy that the History Channel isn’t doing a series about the Inquisition or Puritan witch burning or the religious motivations behind the 30 Years War. Believe me, Christian history, like the history of any religion, will net you enough blood, gore and sadism to keep your stomach empty for a month.
Showed Vikings wearing horned helmets, LOL.
PS: I happen to like the show!! (better than the usual drivel on the History channel, except for Pawn Stars).
Maybe this movie was more accurate??
Crucifixion? Tempting, but no.
