![]() ![]() One thing I've always hated in this show is the lack of spies and espionage. How dumb can you get? The entire reason Vikings were Vikings is because Scandinavia and Daneland had crappy land!! They left to invade southern lands because the land was temperate and rich! No one would waste time, men, and huge amounts of money to invade Scandinavia!! You idiots. A huge part of this entire season is about the Rus invading Scandinavia. It's stupid and insulting to people who actually know history. But now all the fight scenes are just straight from Braveheart or GoT, just warriors charging at each other, giving up the high ground for no reason other than to have it look good on camera. There were few archers because archers weren't that effective against disciplined shield walls. Warriors in those days always fought in a shield wall. First off, the fighting has been idiotic and historically inaccurate for several seasons now. But let me break down some of the stupid so people can really understand what I mean. Just more depressing, tepid storytelling with endless rain and some whining character constantly crying to the gods blah blah blah. The entire story line of Fhitserk (sic) going crazy was tedious and boring, just like the entire Fhloki (sic) and Iceland story line from the previous two seasons. Apparently this stuff is supposed to be emotional, but when your actors are so bad and the things they say and do are so stupid, it's just impossible to care. This show has so many extended slow-motion scenes with "dramatic" music. In fact, I skipped through half the season. So overblown, overdone, and overwrought it was just ridiculous. Just look at Lagertha's death and funeral. Where to start with this show? The writers are so in love with their own farts at this point. So, I'm going to try and stick just to Season 6, even though I mostly hated Season 5, and 4 was already going downhill fast. ![]() This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ![]()
