Vikings (Season 5 Trailer)

[SturmChurro]

Thought the show looked interesting so I decided to check it out on IMDB. The first two full episodes were on IMDB believe it or not, so I watched them both. I am really liking it. Definitely be adding it to my "must watch" show list.

[MathiasOfAthens]

Great show so far.

[Vanoi]

Episode 3 was very good. I can't wait for the next episode.

Episode 3 already aired? I must watch that! What is the schedule anyway?

[The Glorious Moldovan]

The scene where they wanted a threesome and when floki snatched the cross to cause a fight really made my laugh

Question: would a modern day Norwegian understand what a Viking says?

Are the languages similar or identical?

[Påsan]

Nah. Only the Islanders speak something akin to Norse. For us its like Italians and Latin.

For me its Sundays at 10 EST.

[Stavroforos]

So, Episode 3 aired on the History Channel already?

Question: would a modern day Norwegian understand what a Viking says?

We (I at least) can understand many things as long as they don't speak to quickly or with to advanced words. Which we often have German and Latin loanwords for.

Nah. Only the Islanders speak something akin to Norse. For us its like Italians and Latin.

Not quite that much. This is a semi-bad example, but still:

Hávamál; 38

Vápnum sínum
skal-a maðr velli á
feti ganga framar,
því at óvíst er at vita,
nær verðr á vegum úti
geirs of þörf guma.

Våpni sine
skal mann på vollen
ikkje gange eit fet ifrå.
Uvisst er å vita
når på vegom ute
det spyrjast kann etter spjot.

(Mind that Norwegian vary a lot in different places)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I loved the scene at the end, rather than dashing down the beach biting shields and screaming to the gods it was all just a bit awkward...

Starting to feel great animosity for 'Svein' (Earl Haraldson's right hand man)... Horrible little toad..

Seriously,how in the heck did he manage to escape?

little coward

[Condottiere 40K]

It seemed realistic, between a band of trained warriors just ready for a fight, and a bunch of militia, anxious and uncomfortable, so easy prey without coordination.

[Påsan]

I loved the build up to that first little battle, as Hailie said, Awkward.

That Earl Haraldson is a total douche though. Ragnar is going to build his popularity and overthrow him on return from the next raid, I'm sure. A Norse Jarl is supposed to be generous to his men. Not greedy and selfish.

[Halie Satanus]

A combination of paranoia and conniving wife. He's a clever inclusion as the bad guy otherwise it could be difficult portraying Rangar and his warband as heroic. But he also has room for redemption (though not much) because they can blame the wife for his misdeeds. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with him.

Ragnar has that underlying humour that makes everything just a little bit funny (reminds me of Gannicus)..

[Halie Satanus]

Leave this page or double post.. Gahhhh .....

So, Episode 3 aired on the History Channel already?

No but the history channel puts it up on their website earlier.

[Halie Satanus]

Extended trailer for the series, looks like some pretty full on stuff coming up..

By the gods the music is terrible.
