A trailer for season 2 has been released at Comic Con.

The battle scene looks pretty amazing, but did they just give away that

Floki dies

in the trailer? What the hell?

maybe it's

Ragnar's illusions just like the one in the first ep with Odin after the battle?

Watched all of this the other week and I was really impressed. I kind of liked how they threw in some "educational" bits within each episode and I liked how they didn't shy away from them doing deplorable things. The guy playing Ragnar seemed to have a constant twinkle in his eye. Given the history though I wonder how long the show can last? Or whether it's going to follow generations of Vikings?



I wasn't entirely sure what the deal was with the Priest - had he taken the Viking way as his own or was his intention to eventually try and convert them? He seemed to swing from one to the other in the second half of the season. I also thought there wasn't any fallout from Gabri"earl" Byrne's wife killing another Earl/king of Sweden. I thought that should have led to consequences. Speaking of the Earl i loved it when his annoying little announcer was killed.



The only distraction was that Ragnar reminded me of a Medieval Jax from "sons of anarchy" which then had me thinking the vikings had a lot in common with a motorcycle gang and that I was watching the "original" SAMCRO.

I've been re-watching the first season and I'm really looking forward to the second one.



Spoilers for the Comic-Con Trailer Below


Going by the above video, the big fight from the Comic-Con "trailer" seems to be from the first episode. Which might mean that Floki will not actually die, seeing as he's been featured quite a bit in promotional material.

I haven't seen or heard any new promo's, but while on-demand, saw it listed, looked and found out the new season starts Feb 27th.

I've found the following ones on youtube. Most of them are seemingly kind of, full of spoilers.

History channel is showing season 1 on their website, the commercials suck, but the quality is great. This show kicks total ass. I have seen some anal retentive reviews complaining that the "moon symbol on the battle axe is tilted the wrong way". Norse history this early is hazy at best, if you just watch the damn show it is Emmy quality work, from acting to behind the scenes.
