Okay so the best characters are all dead or have been written off.
Somehow, they managed to fuck up a concept as simple as vikings...

the crippled dude blows and not cause he's crippled but cause his voice and appearance and dialogue are all weak and gay.

Not sure how far behind I am.
I didn't like Ivar the Boneless at first, but he's grown on me. Dude plays a great part.

I'm still enjoying the show quite a bit. It's just finding time to watch it.

He ruined the show for me
I pretty much bailed and lost interest when he grew up

yeah, everything about his character makes it hard to suspend my sense of disbelief.
half the story is now about some English royal family who are equally weak and pointless.
did they drop their old writers and pick up a bunch of hacks?

It changed early and spiraled down IMO
I loved the early episodes where they were eating mushrooms and being spiritual

it's like they figured out what everyone wanted and then decided to quit with that.
Now that I think about it, it's a functioning opium metaphor, it has left us wanting ever since the first few highs.
well played Goldwyn-Mayer, well played :(

almost all series do this
very few keep it going with fresh creativity and high production/writing

just like how they always give the nudity in first few episodes then taper off or eliminate the nudity for the rest of season/show

Series 101...the exceptions are rare IMO, but they are the really great shows

I wonder why they choose to do that (this is the only thing from t.v. that I watch).

marketing strategy using human psychology I reckon
leaves you with imprinted memory of a few memorable moments and you keep watching wanting more...some shows even visibly reduce budget and quality it seems

Hvitserk is prob the worst. Sigurd was the worst but thank fuck Ivar killed him.

Bjorn is a shitty actor.

They had something good with Bishop Heaghmund but then they killed him too.

I'm kinda glad Lagertha is finally (kinda) gone. Plus Floki is still around.

I can never forgive them for killing Aethelstan, though
Floki has been my favorite the entire series
Haven't seen the last season, but that guy is a great character/actor(he was on westworld)

Who did he play in Westworld?
I really missed that!

Westworld was simply a great series. One of the best ever. Production value, cast. Writing cinematography you name it .

It seems like the series been cancelled.
probably for the best at this point.
It's weird to me how so much of what attracted an audience was just discarded. It's like they Star Warsed the series in some way. :/

in the latest season(I think)
he is the guy who comes in to clean up the mess after the Bots go wild...tall dude, one of first scenes is at the lake with bodies in it

Love me some Ed harris in that...so good
