"In an ideal world, this should be a move that nobody has actually finished watching..."
Then I did my part to create an ideal world, because after the first 15 minutes I turned the movie off.
Not the only reason, but definitely the best reason.
Then again, it's not a particularly prescient vision of Vietnam. The communist rebellion never attained much success in Malaysia, and of course, the British really did leave, granting the country independence roughly three or four years after the fictional events depicted in this movie.
Inserts Fast & Furious joke here.
She thought the word "genitals" referred to "Gentiles".
It never fails. Every single movie or TV show set in Great Britain or Ireland results in complaints about the accents, usually from aggrieved locals who don't seem to care about any other aspect of film making. The actors in a movie set in Belfast have Dublin accents! Horrors! Joanna Vanderham doesn't sound sufficiently Scottish - even though she grew up in Scone. I could go on and on.
If you assume that the Ivar of the Great Heathen Army was identical to Imar of the Irish annals, which I don't. Your claim that he is the "most famous of all historical Vikings" is dubious at best. This show has veered so far from history that I figure anything can happen. But yeah, I figure Ivar is going to be around for at least another season.
I didn't really care for the flashbacks and dreams, either, but I suppose the show's producers are trying to give us some new variation on a battle sequence.
The historical Ivar disappeared within five years of the invasion of the Great Heathen Army.
Just sayin'....
Oh, I don't mind seeing Rollo come back (too bad he didn't bring Princess Gisla along); it's just the way he character is re-introduced that extends beyond belief. The whole Frankish army appears practically over night - a classic deus ex machina device.
Agreed; this particular plot development is beyond absurd.
Halfway between Tucson and Nogales.
"not a professional actor..."
Seriously, p!ss off.
Well, the attack on Lindisfarne (S1, Ep3) occurred in 793 and the attack of the Great Heathen Army in 865 - so I'd say she's over 90 years old. But still hawt!
Yeah, it's a mess (not the Grail? - again!?) but I'm going to give it a little more time.
