Alia of the knife Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just took a peek at the trailer, and yes, it looks a little less "rock star." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think the main difference between The Tudors and Vikings is that in Vikings there is clear progress of the story and of the characters. I watched the first season of The Tudors, and gave up early in season 2. It seemed to me that the same schemes and plots that were being hatched in season 1 were being re-visited in the second season. And yes, the ass-kicking part helps.

It seems like Hirst has honed his craft and we see more consistent writing although it can still be uneven at times. I would like to see the villains fleshed out and the dialog can be a bit clunky at times. If those things smooth out, I think this show go from being really good to great.

Alia of the knife Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Dammit, I just tried to pull up the schedule, and got the football team instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Minnesota Vikings is still the first thing that pops up when doing a Google search. Perhaps if the show continues to improve, and the football team continues to suck, things will change. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is becoming more popular. But the NFL is the NFL, lol. The show may never come up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drekinn Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I would like to see the villains fleshed out Wish granted since Ragnar and co. are the true villains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that he was going to be on. I don't know what part he is playing though. Right now, he's the only good thing about The Strain. Hopefully he brings something good to the table.
