I read this and saw the movie. Suffice to say it is ridiculously implausible (Christian women in veils?) It is notable for being a far left, feminist, sci-fi screed. I really cannot see how this will be a series. (what is next 1984 the series!) Much like Scy-Fy's Incorporated, dystopias can be very much a downer…

100% yes

I hate the magic "being real" aspect of this show. The creator in an interview stated last week Ragnar had to die was because it was realistic and he always wanted his show to be true to history. Odin showing up and people having true visions is not historical, its outright fantasy and undercuts his argument. If he…

movies never think it is a big deal for a woman to hit a man, half the time its done for laughs

sorry, I thought you were young and immature. You were just immature and dumb

yawn. its a movie, go back to campus SJW

he knew he would die when his sons would not join him. Him dying was atonement for him sending the settlers over there to be slaughtered. He was suicidal earlier in the season and a shell of who he was. After his suicide attempt failed, I believe he came up with this one last plan. He knew if at least one of his…

I knew he was going to die, but it is still shocking for a show to kill its main character and best actor. I never remember it done before. Although artsy and bold, I cannot help but think this show is done. A show needs a main protagonist and although Ivar is good, this story did not spend four seasons setting him…

The only awful person is this article writer..what an awful, biased little person. You do realize Trump does not know you even exist, right? Did your little rant make you feel better, baby?

The problem with this movie is the father in law "has" to be in the wrong in this kind of genre, from "Meet the Parents" to "Father of the Bride", this formula works. When the son in law is a goofy idiot, the father in law looks like he is right and the comedy crashes. Meet the Parents is NOT a great film, but the…

The big problem with this is the predictable happy ending. If you are going to go full R-rated, why not take chances with the ending, after all the audience is by definition all adults who can see a dark movie without a happy ending? Franco's character is awful and any father would be mortified that his daughter would…

Infiltrator and Trumbo both are serious drams that were well reviewed

I feel bad for them they have such a smug, condencending relative like you

So, I saw it tonight. I think people are being unduly harsh on the politics. The big problem is the last half hour drops the premise to spackle typical sci-fi action over the movie and it drops the premise only to lazily resolve the the intriguing moral tale of the first three fourths of the movie. It seemed to me…

I said something similar about 1970's sci-fi might have been unafraid to go full dark with the concept and turn Pratt's character into a villain. In 2016 big budget Hollywoodland? Nope, impossible. This is the big negative with this kind of story going big budget with two big stars..you can almost see on-screen the…

yeah, that was the seer saying, "you messed up"

I agree that there is some girl power vibes coming from Lagertha's arc this year, but they need her too much if Ragnar is really going to die. Her actions only make sense this year if you consider "non story reasons" like they need a main antagonist/someone to take over being a main character

it is doubtful he would deny paternity of his son, if he was. Paternity was a powerful thing back then. Maybe if Ragnar was set up as a villain it might be possible to see this, but Ragnar would not disavow a son knowing he would die.

I view Lagertha's arc this year as them trying to put her front and center to fill Travis Finnell's void as her actions seem to make no sense. (as others noted on here). After 20 years, she suddenly wants to kill Aslaug and rule? Now, Ragnar's sons hate her and she is queen, which gives them some stories. But,…

I think Ecbert's son was taking pity on Magnus, not hurting him. He knew the boy had no power without Ragnar acknowledging paternity. Ecbert kept him around because he thought maybe he was Ragnar's son. Although ambiguous when it happened, Ragnar obviously did not have sex with Kwenthrith. (god, the names on this…
