Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So far I've only watched one episode. The leads are attractive, under the grime. The dialogue isn't insulting, and the sets are interesting (and dark). I'm not sold on the idea that the Norsemen of the 7th Century didn't know anything about the British Isles. And I'm skeptical about them needing only a compass to find their way.

Also, Gabriel Byrne is pretty two-dimensionally villainous as the Earl (which should be "Jarl", but whatever). He's playing him too suave and sophisticated for my tastes.

I'll watch some more. Thankfully, the battle scenes aren't nearly as grisly as they could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've been meaning to watch it too - I love Viking stuff.

I didn't know Gabriel Byrne was involved. Tomorrow's supposed to be rainy and cold--I see a three episode Viking-fest in my future.

I'm enjoying the Vikings so far. I love the female lead.

Justified! Holy shit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was kind of curious that no one seemed to have said anything about it yet. I haven't actually seen this week's ep yet, though, so I'd better stay out of the thread for a bit...

Lord knows that show knows how to do a twist. What do we think ? Bomb under the glider?

Compassionately intolerant

That was my very thought.

Then my thoughts went to what would Raylen turn into, were that the case.

Art Crawl!!!

That was my thought too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just hope no one gets fridged. I want this show to be better than that.
