magdalene December 31, 2016 Share December 31, 2016 I found this Ivar video on youtube, some stuff in it has aired but there is some upcoming footage of GHA in action. Looks like we will get thrilling battle scenes . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z7jr1MYFLU&index=1&list=FLsX0dPIwrJU2dhGSgQ0cMpQ 2 Link to comment

spinxella January 8, 2017 Share January 8, 2017 (edited) Jonathan Rhys Meyers will make his first appearance at the end of season 4B. He'll play Heahmund, a fighting bishop, and Aethelwulf's right hand. Edited January 8, 2017 by spinxella 3 Link to comment
magdalene January 8, 2017 Share January 8, 2017 (edited) Well, I am shocked. I thought for sure JRM was going to be Alfred.... Goes to check out Bishop Heamund. An "antecendent of the Knights Templar" - sounds intriguing. Edited January 8, 2017 by magdalene 2 Link to comment
green January 8, 2017 Share January 8, 2017 Thanks spinxella, great work especially with the Heahmund news. He sounds like a really interesting character. And with Ecbert aging and not intending to take the field actively and Aelle gone in quite dramatic fashion sometime in the coming season, we need more than just Alfred and Aethelwulf to "represent" when we cut to the Saxon side of what will be the centerpiece storyline of Season 5. 2 Link to comment

magdalene January 12, 2017 Share January 12, 2017 Looks like Rollo's story on the show has pretty much concluded now. It's probably for the best that Floki can't see the future because I doubt he would like to learn that his generation of Vikings never conquer all of England - Alfred stops them. But about 200 years later Rollo's great-great-great son does conquer England and his line lives on in the royal familes of Europe to this day. Rollo himself and his family and followers prospered in Normandy. Rollo lived into his eighties and seems to have reverted back to his Viking youth in his last days due to senile dementia. By then he had passed the succession on to his oldest son William. It would be great if this show lasted long enough to feature William the Conqueror. 3 Link to comment

Yes, this guy ruled England for a little while but he has nothing to do with the generation of Vikings in the show I was talking about. Plus, he is almost forgotten today but everybody knows who William the Conqueror is. Link to comment

magdalene January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 Hey, the last two episodes of the season leaked and being a regular visitor on tumblr I managed to get thorougly spoiled. I was annoyed and glad in equal measure about this as there is at least one thing I preferred to be spoiled early on rather than have it sprung on me. Be careful out there! 1 Link to comment
Captanne January 24, 2017 Share January 24, 2017 I love spoilers. Is there any way (in here, the spoiler thread) we could hear them? Or, since they are on Tumblr and presumably now public access, there is a link? I'd love to hear/see the storyline. Please? If not, or it's in violation of some code of conduct, no worries.

magdalene January 26, 2017 Share January 26, 2017 Anybody else intrigued by who JRM is playing? A precursor to the Knights Templar and according to twitter in the fifth season the right hand man to Aethelwulf. It will be good to have somebody on the Saxon side who can maybe out-class and and out-loose cannon Ivar. 1 Link to comment
PatsyandEddie January 27, 2017 Share January 27, 2017 JRM is playing a warrior bishop named Heahmund, an actual historical figure. 1 Link to comment
BitterApple January 27, 2017 Share January 27, 2017 So given that the Vikings are in Wessex next week and we know Alfred has been recast as an adult, is it safe to assume Aethelwulf and Co. get wiped out and at minimum Judith and the kids escape? Also do you guys think the next time skip will occur at then end of the finale like it did last year or will they wait til next season? Link to comment

Also do you guys think the next time skip will occur at then end of the finale like it did last year or will they wait til next season? Well, Aethelwulf and army lose and lose big but going by pictures from next season - which you can see in the pictures spoiler thread - plus the Johnny Rhys Meyers character news, Aethelwulf must somehow escape and become king because Johnny Rhys Meyers warrior bishop Heahmund will be Aethelwulfs right hand in the fifth season. Also, Alfred hasn't been recast with an adult actor - he has been recast with a 17 year old teen who looks quite a bit like the Athelstan actor. So there will be a time jump but not a very big one. They have also recast the older son Aethelred to a slightly older version. Historically the succession went something like this: Ecbert to Aethelwulf, and then Aethelred if memory serves, and then finally Alfred who became king when he was like 22 and was a much beloved and respected king to old age. Oh, and Judith is in next season too in some capacity. Heahmund is introduced at the end of the season finale, holding a mass and afterwards having sex with some woman. He may have the final scene? I am not sure because the stuff I saw was the leaked Russian version. Some of this may also be edited for American TV because they always cut the explicit sex and nudity out of the European version of Vikings for American broadcast.

They do quite a bit of winning, but never conquer Wessex (Vikings do take bribes, you know). One can check their favorite search engine to learn what actually happened over time. 2 Link to comment
magdalene January 27, 2017 Share January 27, 2017 I am no Alfred the Great expert but wasn't one of his big achievements that he halted the Viking invasion - hence no conquest of Wessex - and united England? 2 Link to comment
Haleth January 27, 2017 Share January 27, 2017 The Vikings never conquered Wessex and the armies rallied around Alfred who pushed the Danes back to Eastern England. I don't believe the Danes ever gave up York/Jorvik though. Still, the cultures were melded in time as the Danes became assimilated. In fact there was a Danish king of England (Cnut) after Alfred since succession was not necessarily hereditary but was a matter of who was in the right place to seize power. If you had a good claim but were out of the country, oops, too bad! 4 Link to comment

I am ready and primed to root for him and Aethelwulf and co. It's clear Hirst thinks Ivar is the best thing ever and the sun shines out of his derriere. But despite Hogh having charisma I can't root for Ivar, he is just too psycho for my taste. I wish there will be more to do for the saner brothers that are left next season. I still like Ubbe. 3 Link to comment

Oh, I'm actually totally on board with Lagertha/Ubbe. It shocks me because usually, large age differences creep me the hell out, but I guess the whole idea of a relationship between them is too awesomely twisted that I just want it. Bjorn and Astrid sucks because it came out of no where. Astrid in general they just don't seem to know what to do with her. Right from her introduction, I feel like there's been no solid path with her. They just keep flinging her around. I'd understand if the show knew she wasn't playing well and were just trying different things to make her work, but considering they film so far ahead, that obviously isn't it. I don't even think the actress is all that bad, the character is just so poorly conceived and written. 1 Link to comment
Captanne February 5, 2017 Share February 5, 2017 Oddly, I don't have a problem with Astrid. There are plenty of random male characters who don't bug me, either. Shit, I couldn't tell half the Ragnarssons apart until the final episode. OTOH, Floki annoys me to no end. 1 Link to comment
