I've caught up on them as of last night... through the 4th episode anyways (I think I can watch it early with TWC?)

Overall it is pretty good.

The acting is okay. The script is alright.

I don't really like how they all speak English... I guess they didn't want to use so many subtitles...

I don't really get the "seer" dude and why he looks like some other kind of creature other than a human...

The way I see it, though, it is probably 95% more historically accurate than The Bible.. ;)

Pretty good. They were hyping it up to have the same type of gore and stuff as Game of Thrones but I haven't seen that yet, maybe torward the end of the season.

I had low expectations so I've been satisfied. There is a lot WORSE things on TV than that.

Yeah you can tell it is wanting to ride GoT's success... but the actors in Vikings aren't anywhere near the level of those in GoT...

But like you said, it is satisfying TV if nothing else.

Yeah I was just wondering, I didnt know anything about it but I caught a couple of the episodes and liked it overall. I like the storyline so far and the acting is decent, I dont watch too many series shows normally just stick to sports outside of TWD and Bar Rescue.

I am going to start Game of Thrones soon but I'm trying to read all the books first

Don't worry about reading the books first IMO. I watched season 1 first, and if anything, it helped me visualize the characters more.

Does the show follow the books closely or just the main idea like the walking dead?

IMO the show has followed the books very closely. There is always going to be some differences when you put a story onto tv/movie but GoT is one the best I've seen at keeping it close.

I still dig it. The last episode was pretty crazy and not much happened minus some alliances type stuff. There is better TV, but there is a LOT worse also. I like the lead character though. Crazy that Floki is Eric from True Blood's brother, and also one of the main guys on Hemlock Grove is their brother too.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
