Talleyrand Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 [spoiler] So that is Daddy Uhtred, Brother Uhtred, Main Uhtred=Osbert=>Uhtred The First, Baby Uhtred, Uhtred=>Judas, Osbert=>Uhtred The Second And then probably some children of his uncle? Uhtred the cousin who has also a child called Uhtred? Very complicated! I prefer his daughter name who was named by Gisela [/spoiler] [spoiler] Yeah, Aelfric's son Uhtred, the now ruler of Bebbanburg and his son, Uhtred (whom our Uhtred briefly kidnaps in Pagan Lord) But I suppose it makes a change from a lot of books/shows where no-one ever has the same first name[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 How much material will be covered by the first season? Some of these trailers hint at the Pale Horseman, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Tyler Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 BBC has never really been one for advertising programmes further out than a week or two from airing. As for his much material, allegedly going to be the first 2 books, which seems a hell of a lot of material for 8 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talleyrand Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 How much material will be covered by the first season? Some of these trailers hint at the Pale Horseman, too. Yeah the whole "I swore an Oath" bit sounded to me like Uhtred and Ragnar talking in the occupied city during Guthrum's invasion in Pale Horseman but it could be from when Uhtred is a hostage of the Danes in the first invasion in Last Kingdom (though they might roll both of Guthrum's invasions of Wessex into one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Dude playing Uthred is completely miscast. Far too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Dude playing Uthred is completely miscast. Far too small. I have to agree, I'm not feeling that casting but I'll reserve judgment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yup, he's supposed to be head and shoulders above everyone who isn't Ragnar or Steapa, which is actually important to his character. I'm not feeling it... yet, but will give them plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ghost- Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 So what's the deal with Uhtred's sister that they took after the attack? Uhtred saw her and she saw him, but he never said anything about it to anyone, not even young Ragnar. It seems really odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Got to say, this is a truly outstanding series. Just watched episode 4 and just very impressed with the acting, the way everything looks.I wish there were more than 8 episodes. Has anyone heard about the show being renewed? The other books are readily available for adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an excellent show and the story deserves more seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Episode 6 was another good one. Not my favorite of the season but still quite good. Leofric looks to be taking Steapas spot completely which isn't surprising at this point if just a touch disappointing. I really enjoy the actor of Leofric, he has good comedic timing. In fact the show itself is pretty damn funny. Skorpa was badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
