"Netflix joined the series as co-producer for season two, and could theoretically continue with the show without the BBC.
A third season is unlikely to be released until mid-2018, following the 15-month gap between the first two instalments."

>A third season is unlikely to be released until mid-2018
thank fucking god
Why is he such a cunt
>>82404763
but dats not odda. This is odda.
>>82404785
more importantly why does he have the fleur de lis on his head
>>82404784
yeah I can't wait, too ^^
posting oddas till then
This show is like Pokemon with Uthred as Ash and the vikings as team rocket
>>82404916
Autism
>>82404976
I mean that Uthred is a fucking Mary Sue tactical genius who wins every battle while the vikings are comical retards who show up just to get BTFO every single time
One of the comfiest shows out there, severely underrated
>>82405002
His whole character is flawed as fuck, the ONLY thing he is good at is fighting. How is he a mary sue?
>>82405002
The vikings get BTFO due to their own hubris
>>82405038
In what way is he flawed? He is an ultra lucky super fighter who nobody can match, he single highhandedly saves Wessex every, single, time but gets no credit for it because Alfred the GREAT is a fucking bitch in this series
tell me this wasn't the season finale?
it felt like one but it was only ep8
>>82405074
s1 had only 8 eps
>>82405074
>tfw
>>82405125
>>82405131
oh fuck man, this shows actually decent
>>82405071
He doesn't single handedly save wessex, he leads ARMIES which save wessex.
>In what way is he flawed?
Almost gets himself killed multiple times, he's an asshole to almost everyone and doesn't know when to be respectful and how to 'play the game' of politics. First season he's a jerk especially and blunders by without getting executed a bunch of times because the king needs him to be a commander.
Is there a more unlikable Mc?
>>82405144
>>82405179
The fuck you on about? He's charismatic as fuck and loses a leg
>>82405142
Those aren't flaws, those are things that underline his character's awesomeness
>>82405215
>He's charismatic as fuck
fuck no
>>82405179
that's not a main character
>>82404763
A time skip is in order I'm guessing
>>82404857
I was hoping this old man would dump the cunt king and go be a warrior again
>>82405249
naaaa, Odda is loyal as fuck. Remember the fate of his son?!
btw, I really like that he is still around and trying to help Uthred. Battle-Bros respect each other.
>>82405700
anon..
Just watched 3rd episode of second season. It's an Uthred goes and kills a priest in a church over words episode.
>>82405706
w-well I didn't watch the latest episode just yet... DONT DO THIS TO ME, ODDA! FUCKING CURSE OF WULFHERE?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>82405804
to be fair, he was pretty fucked up at that point. That whole slave-thing didn't exactly lighten his mood.
>>82405866
dw, he stays loyal
>>82405866
Odda dies, Steappa dies, Erik and Siegfrid both die
>>82405917
now why did you have to go and do that for..
goddamit, i didnt even know the season had started, for some reason i thought they were waiting till later in the year
I like how fags keep producing blatant B-tier ripoffs of GoT
>Game of China
>Game of Pirates
>Game of Vikings
>Game of Vikings and English ""People""
>>82405934
> why
Because I can
this was kino to be honest
>oddas death scene
Alfred you cunt.
>>82405917
Clapa died, not steapa.
>>82404763
>based Clapa
>based Odda
>based Erik
>based Sigfried
F
>>82404785
Literally my fav part of the show is watching him get btfo by Utrhed, Aethelwold and the like
>>82405249
He was at the battle tho. He had a helmet on so you couldve missed him.
>>82405962
You keep that edge nice and sharp now, you heard little anon?
>>82405983
What happened to Hild? I just realized i dont even remember the last episode she appeared in
>>82405219
You are just dumb.
>>82406480
became abbess or something, it was somewhere mid-season
>>82405961
You can always tell when the Americans are waking up. The tone of the internet suddenly drops by five fathoms.
im considering reading the books, but i dont want to spoil what happens next
>>82407085
Cornwell is a crappy writer t.b.h.
He's good at plotting and knows his history, but reading his """""prose""""" is like chewing gum.
>>82405144
>it's an "muricans can't handle MCs that are not 100% goody 2 shoes" episode
>horse riding right into the shield wall
>implying a horse would drive up a fucking wall which a shield wall basically is
If this worked there would be no problems with breaking shield walls whatsoever.
>>82404819
>more importantly why does he have the fleur de lis on his head
it was a symbol of kingship going back to at least clovis i
>>82404763
what's up with the tattoo on his arm?
>>82407085
I read them after the first season and I highly recommended. The battle scenes are the best I have ever read, unfortunately the show doesn't have he budget to do them justice. They are short and very fast paced so it's a fun and quick read. Also Uhtred is less SJW than in the show.
I can't wait a couple more seasons when Uhtredwants to smack a backtalking bishop with his giant standing cross but doesn't notice that the end is sharpened and sticks it into his skull. I hope they keep that in the show, that was fucking hilarious.
>>82409060
Horses will do whatever you make them do, they are trained to be totally compliant to the point of suicide. Running at a shield wall is a lot less frightening than running at cannons and gunlines.
I watched the first three episodes yesterday and just can't get into it. To me it just doesn't feel believeable at all, especially Uthred and his bitchy girlfriend. Most of the other characters are pretty neat, but when the lead sucks ...
>>82409292
You should watch more if you are talking about the first season, gets really good in the latter half
>>82409292
He never stops being a bitch, it's just the way Danes are, they have a different set of values
OHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh hi hi hi heeeeeeeeeee ohh oh oh oh oh hh woahhhhhhhhh yai yai yia heeeeeee yayay yayy yaya ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hi hi hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
>>82409158
>they are trained to be totally compliant to the point of suicide
Which is why musket-armed troops never formed square to defend against cavalry, because the horses would just charge onto their bayonets and squash them.
>>82405999
Ruling is hard, and all that.
Tfw read all the books because I didn't want to wait
>Gisela dies in child birth
>Uthred fucks Alfreds daughter
>Old insane priest is coached in to insulting Gisela during a feast
>Uthred kills him in front of all Wessex
>Runs away
>Fails to capture Bebbenburgh with like 20 men
>Kills his uncle tho
>cousin now owns it
>Alfreds bastard cucks Uthreds cousin and lord if Bebbenburgh
>Runs back to Mercia becauae he promised Alfreds daughter to be her vassal
>First son becomes a priest
>second son becomes a warrior like Uthred
>daughteru becomes a qt pagan priest killer like her daddy
>dicks around defending Mercia and Wessex for 20 years
>alfred dying and gives him land no strings attached
>swears loyalty to alfreds son because he didn't wanna be rude
>elected lord of Mercia
>steps down and has alfreds daughter crowned as lady of mercia
>55 and still defending mercia and wessex from danes
>daughter married some viking warlord from ireland
>His first gf whats her name is super bitter and mad because ragnar died of old age
>castrates uthreds priest son
It really drags on
The best parts about the books is the slave taking and rape.
Feels good how the saxons are finally enslaving Danish women and children after the first 6 being the opposite.
>>82410352
>Uthred fucks Alfreds daughter
WHAT A TWIST
>>82404763
>netflix
fug, it's over.
>>82410352
>that part in the last bookwhere Uhtred barges into the hall to expose the plot against him
>that part in the last book whereUhtred schools the fuck out of the kings son
Best book yet.
>>82405179
>can't fight for shit
>has to rely on story telling and lying to survive
Love this show. Don't care how much you fuckers shit talk it.
How can father beocca be fighting, married AND a priest
Do I have to somehow first accept the quest for 2k gold for 20 private matches?
>>82410720
Priests could marry during this period. The reason the church banned it was largely because priests were giving their sons church land.
Monks were the ones often sworn to chastity
>>82410720
I haven't seen the show so I don't know the exact circumstances but it was quite common for Priests to be married in the past, especially Priests trained in the Irish tradition, which a lot of English Priests were.

>when the battlecry is FOR MUS
>>>When Finan smacks his brother and his brothers champion so hard the Irish refuse to fight
God damn my dick was so hard.
>>82411096
That entire last battle was great.
I did pick Mus being the bishops wife much earlier, I think when they couldn't find her. I don't know why that little side plot was even included desu.
Seems poimtless. We'll probably never see Mus again.
I did like that one Dane that switched sides because his wife was captured, I thought that was nice but too convenient for the rescue plot.
Excited for the next one tho
>>82411258
Shame Cornwell is doing something else first before returning to Uhtred.
>>82411318
>10th book was scheduled for 2016 release
