Forewarning for those who haven't watched, there's gonna be spoilers all up in this thread. I suggest you all watch it because it is great and you can get through the first 3 seasons pretty quick (10 episodes per season for the first three. They then split season 4 into two 10 episode halves, for some reason. Amazon Prime has all 4 seasons already up and available free to Prime subscribers, and History Channel's website has the first three episodes so far of season 5 up now. Not sure how long they stay up though. 


No thread for this show already so here we are. Season 5. A lot has happened. Ivar is someone I both love and am annoyed by. The actor does a great job regardless, it's just the writing for the character. They're trying to make him seem complex and thoughtful but also a pure psychopath. It just doesn't work well all the time, IMO. 

Ubbe is brilliant, as is Bjorn. I'm interested to see how this whole season plays out, particularly for those two.

Anybody else watching?

I've watched from the beginning. Haven't watched any of s5 yet. I guess Ragnar will be a ghost this season....seriously how  has Travis Fimmel not become a star from this? 

 

Season 5 is going to resemble season 4 with the slow build that has enough action to keep interest but not as much as early seasons did, which is fine with me but some hate it.

 

Ragnar better not appear a ton. The story of his sons is epic and should be the primary focus. I don't mind Ragnar appearing to Lagertha or Bjorn or one of the other sons via dream sequence, as long as it doesn't happen often. 

 

Fimmel will have other roles in big productions. He has to. His "I have the last say" speech was amazing, and he was amazing as Ragnar from start to finish.

I thought I read somewhere that he's one of the richest actors...period. Something about he has a ton of businesses (restaraunts, perfume, clothing, etc). He may just be doing other thing and not want to be a giant movie star. Don't know.

That story was false I believe.

This show is good. It doesn't hurt that I descend from a lot of the people portrayed in it. This show, GOT, TWD, The Orville, and Stranger Things are my top 5 favorites right now. If you have missed any of them then it is time to binge some episodes.

I watch four of those, although GoT and Vikings are the only ones currently in my top 5.  I use to watch Walking Dead but gave up a year ago or so.

Shameless, The Man in the High Castle, Vikings, Game of Thrones, and Better Call Saul are my top five. 

I actually prefer Westworld, Big Little Lies, and True Detective to several of those but the first to only have one season and the third one is going so long between seasons two and three that it is hard to put them on an active list.

Man in the High Castle is incredible as is Westwood. Both in my top 10 for sure along with Blacklist.

Blacklist needs to end, it's on the verge of getting cancelled so I bet we get a shorter final season next year or at least the last season.     Spader can only carry a show for so many years lol.     It's been fun though.

There are SOOOOO many great shows right now and in the last 10 years, it's hard to come up with a top list.    

Walking Dead is not even close to that top list though lol.

Man in High Castle season 3 should be great, I loved season 2.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.

      Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
