Doreah......Was the goods.
We already know Melisandre #1
2 a toss up between home girl who Sat on the Titans bastard lap and Ros
#4 Dany Stunt double.
#5 Margery.

only because of Iron fist. the asian sand snake girl climbed up. she got a little fatty on her.

 

Start over. Tell me that wasn't a stunt double getting out the tub tho

 

Who are all the options?

Searcy, Jofferey, Ramsey, Jamie????

I kinda liked Jamie........I think Ramsey is the one I hated most. Cut off dudes peen, raped Sansa, killed his pops, and just a royal douche.

Searcy def up there tho. She was def the Best villian, she was great. (But I hate that friggin haircut. Ugh )


As for chicks......Dany, Fast and Furious chick, Little man's chick he choked to death.....the deadly island chicks.

 

Y'all prob right. I read the books years ago on my phone while I was on the train going to work

 

Ser Loras Fist and Rimly was strongly implied in the books but never shown. Jaime used to roast Loras with that and Loras also went berserk when he found out his boy was killed, killing two guards in the process out of rage if I'm not mistaken.

 

@ "Rimly"

 

There’s a new amazon show called Britannia starting on the 18th. Looks like it has potential.

 

If y'all ain't watching Vikings. Especially those who have nothing else to watch for a year but love the genre of old fighting and story. I don't know what you doing.
VIKINGS is amazing.
Season 6 is way better than I could have even imagined

 

This would be awesome. Or better yet, feature Travis Fimmel in the forthcoming GOT prequel. Fimmel as Aegon the Conqueror.

I'm a huge GOT fanboy, but Travis Fimmel as Ragnar > Any character portrayal in GOT.

 

It's my screen name's origin story.

It's a very good show but the historical inaccuracies can get annoying because they border on being racist. Why do they have to show chili peppers (which didn't arrive into Europe and the Mediterranean until the 1500's) in the market in Moorish Spain? It's as if its a big bright like that says "foreign" and by extension the white Vikings are familiar. In te market place, they could have shown whole cloves, nutmegs and pepper corns being sold and it would have been a subtle and historically accurate way of showing that our Viking characters are now in a different and much wealthier place. the same is true for Bjorn's trip through the desert, a great Arab ruler would be in a massive city, a city that would dwarf Paris and it would likely be accessible by sail or by one of the major roman roads. Bjorn coming into Cairo or Damascus and and remarking that it makes Paris look like a tiny settlement would be much truer to history and it would have served the same dramatic purpose as meeting the Emir in a desert camp.

Despite those issue, I love how the show has found new life this season and it has deftly built things up for the final episodes.

If you like GOT, you'll probably really like Vikings.

I think that the performances of Cersei and definitely Tywin are up there; but, overall, Fimmel has given a better performance than the performances behind most of the GOT characters.

 

And iirc he's not eem a trained thespian.

 

He grew up on a farm. Is probably back there now if he’s not currently working.

 

He's not the only good actor on the show which makes it even better. Winnink Ecbert, most others were/are beast.
GoT got its acting royalty too
Cersi, tywin, Tyrion, catelyn, Davos, jamie
even lord friendzone.
But I always feel like I'm in the story too with Vikings I'm glued to the TV set.
The historical stuff doesn't bother me since I never studied Norse history.

 

I also think for GOT Stephen Dillane (Stannis) & Iwan Rheon (Ramsey) did their thing too acting wise.

On Vikings Gustaf Skarsgard (Floki), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Bishop Heahmund) & Alex Høgh Andersen (Ivar) have also been doing some pretty good acting.

I've always loved reading about Norse History since grade school. I'm no expert but, with Vikings the only big things that bother me historically, is HalfDan was supposedly a son of Ragnar. He was also pretty close to Ivar, as was Ubbe who supposedly carried him on his back into battles. I'd really like to know why they changed that (Hirst is normally pretty on point with historical stuff). The rest is kind of up for debate, as the Vikings didn't really keep too many historical records. Some even believe they discovered America first, but nothing really proves that. I enjoy both shows a lot either way.

 

If I ever see the actor who plays that viking cripple he’s getting stomped out on sight.

 

Prime Shogun stomp while wearing boots with dog poop on the bottom.

 

My man @rexanglorum nerd raging over the historical inaccuracies of Vikings got me like

I remember early on some things bothered me, especially about the widely known historical facts but I just accept it now.

The History channel itself use to be 99% on point with historical facts for the longest but once they saw ratings with Ancient Aliens they started selling out a bit to keep it going. They turned a what if book in to a multi-season what if show about aliens being about the unexplainable to inexplicable.

So that they take some liberties with their scripted ahowsnis not surprising.

 

Most History was recorded inaccurately, anyhow.
Vikings on HistoryChannel is likely as close to what happened as the "recorded History" as you know it.

Watch with that in mind, and all of a sudden it matters none.

The Bible for instance. Grew up on that book. 4 days a week we were at Service. I know the word. Some of this Bible being taught today, is not the same Bible I was reading in 88'

 

ragnar himself might’ve been a fictional person.

 

Ragnar's story more real than the fictional bible.

But nah this story on Vikings are scripted for drama and action. I feel the whole thing won't be argued.

I mean the future king Alfred is actually the son of a random priest who was kidnapped by Vikings. That's completely made up.

 

I never watched Vikings for it's historical accuracy. Again im not well versed in Norse history. So it doesn't bother me to be honest how accurate it is. There wasn't much on the history channell i watched before except a few war documentaries.
(last kingdom is suppose to be a tad bit more accurate right?)

Stannis and Ramsey's character def kills it too.

I still hold tho as a television show. There's a fight or battle almost every ep in vikings and it just seems like the choreography is always on point. costumes. gruesomeness of fights. Viking Blood lust. and the story and how it is continuing is always captivating. I still wanna see Bae Winnick naked though.

IVAR is a beast. lovin this dudes character.

 

Ivar > Late Ragnar

 

Yes, The Last Kingdom is a little* more accurate. Funny how dudes hated Ivar last season, and most have grown to like him. I've grown to accept the historical innacuacies, the ones I have a hard time with is HalfDan not being a son of Ragnar & Ivar and Ubbes beef. The rest just makes a good story IMO.
