Arkash Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well, actually the only forumer who's expressed being let down by the season is JB24. But he was pretty vocal about it, so maybe it gave a sense of multitude ! ^^ Anyway, I loved the hell out of this season as well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've enjoyed this season, but there seems to be a lot of open story lines going into tonight's finale. Not that all need to be tied up, but ... I do hope they are better parked. That said, the show usually feels this way toward the end, but has brought things to a close pretty well so far. Well, last year the end felt rushed. I guess that's where I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about tonight. I hope for the best, but can see with all the open sub-plot lines, not all the pieces will fall into place cleanly. Then again, "Odin" could show up in Wessex, Paris and Kattegat tonight and be the tie that binds. Kill Ecbert, praise/validate Auslag's decision to uphold the old faith (complete Ivar's healing), reward Ragnar for a change of heart back to him and help him to take Paris. That still leaves all the other sub-plots: Lagertha and Kalf (does she forgive or take back her earldom), Floki facing getting justice or forgiveness (and Helga's role here too), the survivors of the previous earls/kings who opposed Ragnar, and Porunn's fate. (who am I missing?) Then there are the minor suplots that will likely carry forward into season 4: Rollo's potential marriage, Bjorn's future as a leader, and how Judith and baby Alfred will survive Ecbert's eventual demise. That's a lot of balls in the air. Regardless, I love the hell out of this show. Whether it all works or almost does tonight, I'll be here waiting again next Spring.

I have enjoyed this season, but it was still a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 The main thing they need is at least 1 person that has a goal or something like that to work on. Ragnars family life hasn't been a really big point in the story imo. As long as he has sons it's good. Rollo will probably get one with his marriage. Bjorn will probably search for Thorunn or something like that. They could give him that quest to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmarshal Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yeah I know some people on this board seem to be let down by this season but I've enjoyed the fuck out of it and can't wait for tonight I real loved the season as a whole, just I feel if this was all we got from Wessex, may as well cut it from the season.

I'm with you on that for the most part and I started this season with Ecbert as one of my favorite chatacters now I'm meh on him tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am not well read of the sagas, how does Bjorn come to his throne in Sweden? It's been about three years since I last read anything about it. I count myself lucky for having forgotten a lot of thins :D That ups my enjoyment. I do distinctly recall that Bjorn inherited Sweden from Ragnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm on Eastern Standard Time now, and I dislike having to spend more of the day waiting for a show. 10pm seems so dreadfully late to start a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look terrible. --Okay, I loved Athelstan a lot but Ragnar....try to live. --"The gods protected me from the Christian magic..." --"Someone needs to kill him." GREAAAAAAT --Loving the Church music. I so enjoy when this show visits both types of religion and explores the beauty of both --Whoa there French Filly. You're in a House of God!

Mark Antony Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 --They're not really going to kill Ragnar tonight...right?i think he will be the Trojan horse as speculated by others here and yeah wasn't interested in Odos weird shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That Frankish lady is hot but stupid. And I was starting to like Odo, until that moment. Whatever wound Ragnar suffered, if it didn't kill him in that time, it's not going to kill him after a month. Death faking scenario is on!!!

BearQueen87 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 i think he will be the Trojan horse as speculated by others here and yeah wasn't interested in Odos weird shit Yes good point about Ragnar. They did ask for a proper Christian burial for him to get him inside. --NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. --I have feelings. I have a lot of feelings about Lagertha and this moment. And now Rollo! :( THIS IS FULL OF SAD --Oh let me smack Floki. "You betrayed me!" Yeah that's why you're really upset about, isn't it. (But Gustaf is killing this scene.) --WHAT THE HELL.
