Did anyone else see the debut of this show last night on the History Channel? I am already loving it (I had to check it out because of my romance novels that I've read over time and how I love some of the ones that deal with Viking/Norse history).

Now I'm watching the second ep. which is available on On Demand.

I've seen the first two episodes. Did they just invade England? I wasn't quite sure. I like Lagertha too. I kept expecting them to show the monks some mercy, but nope! I guess I should have known they would wipe almost all of them out.

Aww true Julia, if I didn't know my history on how Vikings basically showed no mercy when invading a territory and taking what they wanted (even females) I would too. I'm curious what other plans they have in store for the one man they're bringing back.

Yay, watch ep. two!

Last eppy was amazing! I was disappointed with the slaughter of the monks, but is got my attention. I thought Earl (thank goodness for Gabriel Byrne) was a monster, but what Radnar and Co did was heinous. Who are the good guys again?

Not feeling Lagerthe. The actress is trying too hard.

Ragnar was bad and Lagertha isn't the HBIC we all think she is!

I love her and I'm actually jazzed that they found someone that has a martial arts background because watching her fight is fun! I did hate what they did to the majority of the Monks -- you only saw ep. 2? Or ep. 3? Because ep. 3 is on On Deamnd now. But if I didn't read about Norsemen and Vikings then I'd be shocked but I know what they do and this is kinda tame to what we'd probably see if it was on a channel like AMC or a premium ch. so I am grateful for that in a way.

Well you are in tune/time with the actual airdates. What happens is following the episode History adds the next one to VOD on their website and on the cable company's VOD listings.

Like for me I have 101 and 102 and then Sneak 003 and if I click it it lets me watch ep. 3 before it actually airs. So I'm a week ahead rather.

    • I would be fascinated to see the GL episode counts from that time, if they existed. Six years seems like a long time, but Reva was front burner 24/7. I don't see how she could've done episodic tv. The only breaks she really got were her maternity leaves. And it's not like even the late '90's when there were shows shooting in NY (well, mostly L&O).
    • I've been pondering how strange it is that in real life NLG was being more supportive of Haley Pullos than I would have been ....  and now Alexis is doing that for Kristina.
    • Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.
    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..
