The commercial just aired on the History Channel, coincidentally enough. Looks good, I'll watch it and see how they handle it.

preview clips
Looks like Hostory Channel is trying to capture a bit of that Game of Thrones and Spartacus magic that HBO and Starz have. In truth, we don’t mind because their upcoming show, Vikings, actually looks pretty good.
We’ve got a few preview clips from the show to share with you today. In them you’ll get “a taste of the intense drama” the show will bring. The next two previews introduce some of the main characters: “the warrior shield maiden, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and the ruler, Earl (Gabriel Byrne). One, fighting for what she believes and the other fighting to hold onto the power he can’t stand to lose.” The last clip is, well, you’ll just have to watch it. Vikings premieres 3.3.13 @ 10/9c on History Channel. http://theflickcast.com/2013/02/01/c...-show-vikings/ Last edited by Rick Ronsavelle; February 4th, 2013 at 12:41 PM. |

season 1 episode 2
Watch episode 2 - Wrath of the Norsemen
http://www.hulu.com/watch/462490 I thoroughly enjoyed the Lindisfarne scene where they kill a bunch of Christians. As they used to say, "Save us, O Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen" Last edited by varg; March 4th, 2013 at 10:50 AM. Reason: .. |

So far no nigs or overt jewish propaganda. I like it.
The only scene I disliked was where they show the nose-blowing in a communal water bowl. They showed the same thing in the movie 13th Warrior. I believe that account comes from Ahmed ibn Fadlan, which I think was exaggerated and biased. Quote:

I only watched a few minutes of an episode.
What I didn't like. Filmed in dreary colors. All movies of Whites in the past are in dreary colors. Whites were dirty and had no hygiene whatsoever. Whites had silly gods and morals and were nothing but animals It may be a good show. I just could not take the little I saw. I may try it again. |

I noticed this on a swedish link to an HBO trailer of it (yes, HBO). I don't have HBO and, partly because I am a bit convenient and skeptical, I do not plan to make any tremendous effort into seeing it (unless it makes its way here to Sweden more firmly).

HBO?
It's a History channel show. You can see it from this link: http://www.putlocker.com/file/2CAABA40CCE288BA It's not as bad as you'd expect |

Based on the same book but radically different output. I didn't know they were doing something with the Vikings (surprising in a sense but I suppose not after Rome and Spartacus) but I'll be interested to see how far they go with it or whether as Varg seems to think they'll introduce the 'good Christians' into the mix (possibly to gain more viewers) much as they had that really fucking annoying and a-historical jew 'turned back to Yahweh' in Rome.

Betting they'll introduce a "Pan Am" degree of twist to foil the hopeful implicit aryans tuning in.
'Good' christians? 'Black' vikings? ... A looted and burning synagogue? Don't put anything past them.

I watched the first episode, it seems like a cool show. I'll keep watching it as long as they don't include diversity in the movie.
Hopefully in a later episode we get to see them split the skulls of some queer bait Xian monks. . Now that is what I call entertainment! |

What I would prefer to see, with regards to the 'viking-era', would be their raid-or-trade excursions downward to the Middle East (they got as far as to Bagdad). Typical for viking trade-or-raid parties was the adaptive sense of using, even at the time, crudish, basic but cleverly applied leverage. They could send a minor group ahead to a settlement or a town and barter with the officials. Then, if it was perceived apt, possible or desirable, they'd send in another larger and completely different group at night or dawn and just go haywire like in true viking fashion. If local concern spread, the party would habitually blame some renegade faction of theirs and then claim they had been delt with.
To an extent, it sounds a bit barbarically petty for it to have worked so well but... it was highly effective and helped them to maintain the image (abroad) of being merchants and madmen alike. I suspect these strategies evolved by some necessity, coupled with their ability. Even Tacitus noted on the fact that they ('svioner' I believe, i.e mainland Sweden) loved their weapons of arms as much as their personally assembled treasures and would securely lock both of the above in a chest or in a basement hideout as night came along. |
