It's a soap opera set in the dark ages.  Just like "Sons of Anarchy" is a soap opera with Harley dorks.

If anyone is interested in this era, Benard Cornwell has a great series of books that deals with the Ragnar's sons Ubba Ivar and Halfdan. Another historical titbit, Rollo becomes the first duke if Normandy, both William the Conquerer and Robert E Lee are his direct descendants.

Love watching it. Just so you know it was made here in Ireland. I tried to get in as an extra but I really can't do the long hair thing. Dammit!

True.  But in fairness, isn't Shakespeare as well?  Better written dialog surely, but at its heart any different?

After all, there are only 36 basic dramatic design patterns.  Everything is a derivative of combination of derivatives.  :cool:

First season was the grabber... loved it.... Then it was watered down. I Still watch, hoping for a glimpse of the first seasons approach to the show up again.

Don't like how they've moved away from the pilot.  :mad:
