I'm stand with you tombot - one ep to go in s1 here. I wasn't sure until about halfway in but when it got good (and gave us a proper villain) it got real good
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 31 July 2017 04:39 (six years ago) link
then maybe that's my problem. i'm only like 3 or 4 eps in
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 31 July 2017 04:41 (six years ago) link
hold out until episode 5
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 31 July 2017 05:21 (six years ago) link
thought S2 was wonderful.just hope there is a budget for another season.
― mark e, Monday, 31 July 2017 13:11 (six years ago) link
we're on S2 ep 7 and there had BETTER be a season 3 after all this craziness
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 02:46 (six years ago) link
finally finished the last ep
this show is fucking amazing
I love all of it
I miss the blonde nun though
and his poor wife from S1 (not the one who got beheaded, the other one)
(why because she look intersting)
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 10 August 2017 04:04 (six years ago) link
also is it just me or do Uhtred's dreads get more dreadlocky as the show goes on? I suppose this is sort of realistic. But man just dive in the river a couple of times a year
It was very emotional watching that one dude bite it in the Dane camp, even though anybody who has ever seen a Seven Samurai homage knows the big dude always goes down hard
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 10 August 2017 04:07 (six years ago) link
Bothersome that Uhtred teaches the Wessex boys how to form a shield wall when that was pretty much their standard move (unlike... the Danes he came from and presumably learned from).

i've only just started S1 but wow pretty fuckin good. great actors in this. the mud and the blood and the beer. yes uhtred is the luckiest son of a bitch alive.

Latest Saxon Tales novel came out last month, Cornwell is really phoning it in at this point.
― louise ck (milo z), Thursday, 10 January 2019 01:35 (five years ago) link
Plowing through newest season Netflix now. So far it hasn’t disappointed in terms of comfortingly repeating the words Bebbanburg, Wessex, Mercia, giving us yet another reunion bro hug with Beocca, and reminding us who Uhtred is the son of (hint, it’s Uhtred).

haha excellent. love this show.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 29 April 2020 14:45 (three years ago) link
glad to have this back, just wish the saxons didn't largely have modern RPish accents
― The Cognitive Peasant (ogmor), Monday, 4 May 2020 11:03 (three years ago) link
feel like it's balanced by uhtred's wtf accent which seems to hang out halfway between German and Moira Rose (to be clear i love this)
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 4 May 2020 17:08 (three years ago) link
It is highly entertaining.
― Kim, Monday, 4 May 2020 17:19 (three years ago) link
uhtred's accent is agreeably weird, it's kind of perfect
― The Cognitive Peasant (ogmor), Monday, 4 May 2020 17:21 (three years ago) link
I have started watching this, one thing that didn't scan to me was why Ragnar took such a shining to young Uhtred.
― Judd Apatowsaurus (Leee), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link
cuz he had GUTS

(Ragnar appreciated that the little dweeb tried to fight in the battle where his father died, then he became a member of the family when he stopped the daughter from being assaulted)
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 19:37 (three years ago) link
I feel like the episode we just watched where redacted gets murked might be one of the best in this series. The intrigue!!
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 6 May 2020 03:16 (three years ago) link
What's with "hump" and "turd"?
Anyway, finished the first season, and am hoping that Uhtred becomes less of a humping turd after the events of its finale.

You’ll love all the “arse-licker” comments later on.
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 10 May 2020 21:59 (three years ago) link
Arselings make a lot of turds
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Sunday, 10 May 2020 22:33 (three years ago) link
Finished the season this weekend. I’m not sure what happens next, they kinda tied it off too neatly, but I still hope for more. I really feel like this show should roll on until Uhtred is old and has 4 more children tbf.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 05:00 (three years ago) link
Finished as well, def the weakest season but still very watchable.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 05:07 (three years ago) link
I'd have to go back and rewatch before declaring this the weakest season - but I'd also buy that argument at face value, just on the fact that Edward sucks and Alfred was, ahem, pretty great
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 05:15 (three years ago) link
Is there a hashtag for Eadith + Finan shippers yet? Fidith? Eadin?
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 05:18 (three years ago) link
I thought it was the best season! All four kingdoms, Wales, Uhtred is likable now... top content imo
― The Cognitive Peasant (ogmor), Wednesday, 13 May 2020 08:53 (three years ago) link
Two episodes into season 2 and Uhtred is back to being a humping turd.

still good, i just dont care about edward yet. plus some other stuff but ill wait til others watch it before spoilers.

Uhtred is likable now
That's good to hear! But damn I have another two seasons before I get to that point, and I just watched him shank a priest in a church.
One thing in the show's favor is that it isn't scared to kill off characters who otherwise seem like they'll hang around for plot reasons. OTOH I'm terrified for Hild.
― Osedax Church (Leee), Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:09 (three years ago) link
You really have to resonate with Uhtred’s implicit agnosticism to get to like him, and accept that he’s always lived in a dog eat dog world
― El Tomboto, Friday, 15 May 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
Uhtred is and forever remains an asshole in the books too. I appreciate that Cornwell doesn't give him a heart of gold.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 15 May 2020 02:15 (three years ago) link
Finished the third season.
* I like how the show isn't overly self-serious (unlike another well-known medieval-ish series).* I don't like all the blatant fridging of female characters.* Puhtred is definitely not an agnost -- I don't think he would've gone on the Niflheim side quest unless it meant something to him.
