So, if you want to find my Tweet and favorite it, and retweet it, my Twitter handle is @amyguskin. Also, you can search on "@HISTORY #Vikings" and you might turn it up, as well.

Alas, no. I really hate that in 2017, when media options abound, that History doesn't have SOME way of letting grown people decide for themselves what they feel comfortable seeing. They really ought to have the unexpurgated version somewhere on the website, or on OnDemand. Maybe I'll tweet again. You should, too!

On that we can agree. Some of this season's plotting has been quite sloppy.

I didn't call you a prude.

Okay, I just tweeted at History about this. So mad!!

Dammit, that makes me so angry! How can we even be sure that buying the DVDs will give us the missing scenes? Anyone have any idea how that's worked with previous seasons and excised portions for US television?

The error isn't mine; it's Jason Steadman's. I was just replying to his comment that we needed to see the bad bishop boffing the widow right after the funeral to show that Knights Templar = bad guys. I never claimed to have any idea of when the Knights Templar began.

Ugh, sometimes I hate US television standards so much.

Crikey! Any idea what season/episode that was?

Probably not! See my other reply below. Stupid American tv!!! :-(

Ohhhh. Amazon UK. We do know from other series that we get different cuts than Europe does. Sometimes for content, sometimes for (advertising) time. Shit, I hate that we missed a Lagertha scene, especially if it showed Torvi as still alive; that's a very important point for US viewers to have missed! I haven't

Yeah, I know. Not sure why Hirst didn't think this through more fully. I mean, I guess he was really drawn to the chilling creepiness of having little wagon-bound baby Ivar be a murderous psychopath, and then they hit paydirt with the upper body strength of Alex Høgh Andersen, who looks super cool and scary dragging

Do you recall where in the episode this scene takes place? Early, mid, or late? I need to look for it. Not sure how I could have missed it; I don't get up from the show without pausing the DVR, so I didn't have any snack break blank spots.

You're not the only one. I don't recall seeing them either. When the episode shows up on my Amazon Prime season pass (probably later today), I'll have to look for the scene in question.

Sheesh. Nice to have such a high opinion of your girlfriend.

In one of the episodes of Real Vikings, a period historian reported that the word for "boneless" is very similar to a word that means "terrible" or "vicious" or something along those lines. So there's a lot of uncertainty. I find it much more plausible that it's a mistranslation rather than that someone with a

There are other, less contrived ways they could have used to illuminate the true nature of the Knights Templar. Heck, in the show's universe, we don't even know for sure that's what he is yet, so maybe the better play, dramatically, would have been to make him *seem* like a good guy, make us like him, and then slowly

For me, it's not that the widow-fucking bishop scene was tacky; it was more that it was so cliched and expected and tired. As soon as the widow started whimpering as she spoke to the bishop about her husband at the graveside, I said, out loud to the tv, "Cue the priest fucking the widow in three, two, one…" I don't

Would be tough, as the little girl is already dead by the time Helga starts craving a child. Remember, Aslaug neglected to care for her and she wound up dead in a muddy ditch?

Well, sure! There is so much fast food to talk about, why bother reviewing tv shows? :-(
