History could really have struck gold with this show, assuming the rating are still strong. That time frame is largely untouched by modern tv shows and movies. Amazing considering how bad arse these warriors and battles were. Could start with Robert the Magnificent and finish with William the Conqueror. Much like they are starting with Ragnar and finishing with his sons.
I think going forward, they need to age Ragnar's sons and start getting more into their English invasions. Guy playing Bjorn is ok, but not a commanding actor. (His completely dead performance to walking around with slight limp a day later didn't help his case) I really didn't realize how much the show would miss Aethelstan. They need to progress the story a little faster IMO. I was thrown the last time they did it, but it led to a great season. Oh and less time with boring Catholic royalty and more time with psycho pagan Vikings.
Agree. This show has huge potential even after Ragnar dies. And yea, Bjorn definitely hasn't had a dynamic role so far and his love sick fawning over that slave girl sure didn't help his character. The writers definitely need to fortify his role as Ragnar delegates more authority to him.

I agree. He showed some promise in the battle commanding his troops up the ladders, but his "dying" acting looked like plain dead.

Yes, you've got Charlegmagne's blood through his great grand-daughter marrying Rollo, on down through William the Conqueror.
Amazing, when you think about it.
And, like someone said, its such an untapped source of material on TV.
