Vikings TV Show

Another episode of poor peace loving Vikings on vacation again being misunderstood tonight.

Then again if one is of British ancestry, unless it is entirely Welsh or West County ancestry you are likely to have at least some Viking blood in you.

Don't rely on popular dramatic TV programs for historical information. To be better informed, read: "An objective analysis of the Vikings in East Anglia" by Jeremy Wolsmith Abelsworth, Viking Press, 1943. Sadly, this scholarly book has been out of press for a while.

You made that claim once before, but hey, repeating 'might make it come about.

Apparently Abelsworth is also out of print. 'No result' came up when a search of his name is run, with one exception. Try it.

I watched a couple episodes of this show and frankly, I found it quite boring. I think I'll stick with Spartacus for my gratuitous sex and violence. However, I'm finding this season of Spartacus to be quite hokey, and I'm having a hard time getting into it. I'm looking forward to Season 3 of the Game of Thrones.

"Vikings" is a really fun show, thanks for recommending it. As for "Spartacus" if you like that check out "Rome" and be blown away.
