Kyoshi Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Just a small opinion but the actress who portrays Aslaug is also horrible. Terrible writing aside, the acting is not all that awesome, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I did not like Aslaug at first, but I have come to come to terms with her ... especially because Lagertha does not seem to mind not being with Ragnar anymore. I admire how she cares for the little boneless boy when the society would probably have abandoned an unhealthy baby. She obviously has some power over Ragner too. Floki is just weird, I thought he was ... uh, differently mentally abled at first. Then I realised his mannerisms and random bursts of laughter are probably a mask he puts on himself for whatever reason. I am not a fan of him.

Mithras Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Floki is obviously a characterization of Loki. He is an agent of chaos. He likes creating problems. He always acts as the spark to start battles, fights and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_ Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 omg. People call her "Asslog" and "Bitch Baby Maker" and stuff. Its disgusting. I kinda like her too. Shes grown on me. haha Asslog, why didn't I think of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes. That's what caught my attention initially. He ended walking about 10 feet away from me so I shouted "Ragnar" and he looked over, waved and said, "hey."This is a pic while he waited around for the scene to begin shooting.https://instagram.com/p/zdp7Rmuwqv/ :thumbsup: That's awesome!

So, Floki is obviously the fake Loki. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I enjoyed the episode overall. I thought the whole going stir crazy and needing to flee was a little over done. Still not sure why Ragnar who seems to be very smart doesn't see that they are getting used as soldiers and becoming weaker because of it. As for the battle, well that was the dumbest tactic I have ever seen. Lets split our forces and stand in plain view and let them choose who to attack.

lacuna Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Flóki means "tangle" in Norse. There is no doubt a connection. Messy, complicated, frustrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fallen Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I watched an interview with the lady who plays Aslaug and i liked her personality. It even made me change my opinion on her attractiveness. I found her a little weird looking at first, but now I find her very attractive. As well as Lagertha and Thorunn. Even Siggy and Floki's wife are attractive. The cast, overall, is pretty attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia of the knife Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I actually came to like Aslaug, and really kind of liked the dynamic between Aslaug and Lagertha, and I think Ragnars eye was already starting to wonder anyway after their marriage, so I don't think they ever had the same connection that he and Lagertha had.I didn't like her initially because I didn't know what kind of harm she might do to Lagertha, but since Lagertha just left and was basically in some ways better off, I lost my anxiety over Aslaug. Lagertha seems like she is in her own place right now absent Ragnar, and if anything comes of Ecbertha, it will be interesting to see if that pits them all against each other, because I don't think Ragnar is going to like it. Its interesting because Ecberts wife was is somewhat of a mystery. His alleged wife, Reburga of Francia is in dispute now. As for Floki, love the actor, but the character? Meh. Ultimately, I think his nature makes me still not trust him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 As for Floki, love the actor, but the character? Meh. Ultimately, I think his nature makes me still not trust him. I think he will eventually betray Ragnar and it will be real for this time. They are over-emphasizing how radical Floki is about his Faith and now Ragnar said that he wants to be baptized.

This is exactly why I couldn't tell if Floki was really going to betray R or not last season. I like that we really don't know what he'll do on a given day.

I like that we really don't know what he'll do on a given day. Exactly, he's hard to know. On the one hand, I can see him coming to Athelstans aid, because you know he is going to get himself into trouble with Athelwulf because of Judith, but on the other, he might be the one to let Athelwulf know what is going down, setting Athelstan up, because if I'm not mistaken, I think Floki caught that awkward moment between the three of them. That seems just tailer-made trouble for a man whose name invokes chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, she still seems out of place in that world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just got caught up on 1st episode. Really good season opener, and I expect Floki to finally do something God awful this year, in terms of betrayal. Only other thing I have to comment on is LaGertha (sp?), where are woman like her in real life? Hmmm,mmmm I love me some Gertha!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Lagertha lives here in Toronto. She has a martial arts studio where she teaches Tae Kwon Do. Now if I can only find it, have her mentor me to become a kickass warrior, and save her from ninjas then we can be together as we were meant to be.
