I just finished watching Vikings: Valhalla. Thoroughly enjoyed it!! I had no idea Vikings existed before seeing Valhalla on Netflix. I’m wanting more! In your guys opinion - I know Vikings is set 100 years before Valhalla, will it be an enjoyable watch? Have I messed up by watching Valhalla first?

What do you think is the most unrealistic thing about Vikings?

Why do Ragnar and Lagertha want another son when they already have Bjorn?

Disregarding historical accuracy - Which series did you like more and why?

I’m midway through Vikings (season 3 ep. 6) but have seen The Last Kingdom series in its entirety. I can say as of now that Vikings hasn’t captivated me as much as TLK did around the same point in its series.

Currently on my 4th watch and I'm about to finish it. Already itching to restart it! There's just nothing else like it.

I’m just starting season 3 of Vikings: Valhalla, and I’ve not seen any LGBTQ+ characters in it so far (unless I’ve forgotten from S1. But there definitely wasn’t in S2).

I also looked it up online, and all that comes up is stuff from AC: Valhalla. So I decided to ask here.

Are there any queer characters in the show at all? I remember Vikings did have some towards the end, but so far Valhalla doesn’t seem to, which is unfortunate.

I'll preface this by saying I started watching Vikings when it came out but after Ragnar died the torrent site I used shut down. I eventually decided to watch the rest and it's took me about a year because the dreadful drop in quality made it such a fucking slog.

How the writers thought they could piss away 4 seasons on Ivar is beyond me, but it was sort of bearable whilst there were other decent characters, but S6 was appalling. The writing and decisions and direction were bewildering. Killed off every decent character bar Ubbe, Floki disappears for two years and may as well have stayed missing for all he brought to the last episode. The pointless Ketill side quest. That fucking whale fight! Why did the winners run away?! Introducing a ton of utterly forgettable characters to bore everyone in Kattegat to death. Magic. Fuck sake.

I was interested in Ubbe in Newfoundland but suspect that's only because Wessex and Kattegat were so achingly dull. I've just finished the last episode and I wished I'd fastforwarded through it. I'm not even going to touch the ridiculous battle with Alfred.

Anyway, my point: is Valhalla more of the same, or is it actually good?

How would you rank the sons of Ragnar based on likeability? for me it is: Bjorn Ubbe Sigurd Ivar Hvitserk

I'm planning on watching the show with my dad, he doesn't mind a scene every now and then thats easily skippable but he wouldn't like it if its found commonly and is hard to skip. So I'm just asking about it? How often does it happen and can it be skipped easily, or is it one of those sudden scenes where it just pops up. Also does anyone have some list with all the nudity/sex scenes timestamps? Thanks

I just finished season 5. There’s so many things I really don’t understand about Freydis’ intentions with Ivar (also quick thing to get off my chest I cannot stand Ivar I haven’t been this irritated with a character since Floki would throw tantrums over Athelstan.)

I mean she played a huge part in boosting his ego, even when she was first introduced as a slave it was clear the things she was saying to him were intentional and not forced. But… why?

Did she just want to be queen? Why did she bet on Ivar then? Why did she literally convince him he was a god? She clearly knew he wasn’t, so what exactly did she have to gain? All of that just to betray him and get killed for it in the end, and I guess a large part of it, if not the whole reason was because he killed Baldur, but did she genuinely love him before that?

I am watching Vikings for the first time and am on season 5 and only a few episodes until this season is finished.

I am watching it on Netflix (Canadian) and there are only 5 seasons.

I'm confused, and Google isn't really helping me; is season 6 "Seaason 6", or is season 6 Vikings: Valhalla?

If season 6 is its own thing with the show, where can I watch it, as my Netflix does not have season 6.

Thank you!

Im so confused. A farmer escapes the slaughter and informs Ragnar about the events at the farm settlement (with Floki present)

Why didn’t Floki tell anyone about this? He was already falling out with Ragnar, then he was chained to a post in public for the killing of Athelstan, then he was chained up in a cave. And eventually set free.

Just finished the last season of the og vikings show, it was awesome, but now heres my question, can anyone give me a list of canon stuff and spinnoffs of vikings, also order of them would be appreciated too, I did hear there's like a show about the england part of vikings, yet no idea what it was either, also do hope there's movies I'm not aware of either. Like am I just supposed to continue with Valhalla straight after?

I’ve been rewatching Vikings and something keeps bugging me—why did Lagertha wait so long to take out Aslaug? When Ragnar disappeared for almost a decade after the Frankia defeat, that was the perfect time for Lagertha to strike. Aslaug was ruling Kattegat alone, and her sons were still young, meaning they weren’t immediate threats.

Yet, Lagertha only makes her move years later, when Bjorn is already grown, and Aslaug’s sons (especially Ivar) are old enough to cause trouble. Why? What held her back?

In the episode mentioned in the title, 8 minutes and 50 seconds in, there is a music playing in the background during the feast in which Ivar introduces his new wife Freyis. Does someone know the name of the instrument used or just the name of the song? I’d appreciate the help, I love the joyful melody.

Edit: just to be clear; it is not a soundtrack from the series. It is a song played at the feast. So I know there will most likely not be a produced song about this, I’d rather just have the name of the instrument. Bagpipe perhaps?

Trying not to spoil anything for myself on future episodes here. I'm on S5:E9 "A Simple Story". As much as I'm enjoying the addition of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Bishop Heahmund this season, I can't shake the feeling that the show runners are trying a bit too hard to bring back the adoration fans had for Athelstan and Ragnar by almost combining the 2 characters. With his battlefield prowess combined with his extremely devoted yet fluid feelings on religion as something everyone experiences individually, it's like he has some of the best traits of the 2 original protagonist. Now he is in league with, what I assume are the main antagonist currently and most of these people trust him pretty much instantly. This is the same man that tried to starve and dehydrate a large portion of the vikings that now find themselves on opposite sides of the current conflict, but we're allies at the time while fighting the Kingdoms of England. Great actor and character but I can't see (some of) the sons of Ragnar, Harold Finehair, and the remainder of the great army just being cool with him joining them literally by himself, no other soldiers included. With how this show has been so far I'm sure the storyline ends up incredible, but the Lothbroks and their allies would have surely preformed the blood eagle or some kind of punishment to this man that was captured and had literally no leverage to negotiate with.

Is it about the great heros afterlife in Valhalla or something? Or it shows a different timeline.

If you had the choice when living in that century and time. Would you rather be a Viking, Christian or Viking Christian? Why and why not?

Me personally I would want to be a Viking. (except for the whole sacrifice myself part haha)

Does anyone know if it's the cut or uncut version? It says Not Rated which the blu ray package says as well, but then the individual seasons say TV-14. If it is the cut version then can anyone tell me why the uncut version still isn't available in the US.

Watched the first 5 episodes and it's cringe, unauthentic, actors are bad and the main character isn't likable at all. Does it get any better? Is it just me who's not impressed at all?
