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 do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
