Viking Panel and sneak peak season 3

The panel of Vikings did tell us

We are off to Paris, half way one of the main characters will die, there will be raids to other countries and yet again there will be bigger conflicts between characters.

The Paris attacks will continue if there is going to be a season 4 that is announced in the panel. Everyone thought at that moment season 4 was definitely a go, but they didn't hear it right. Everybody on twitter cheered that moment.

Also the rumours started who would be dead during the season. The trailer didn't give that information away. I do have a kind of opinion about this after seeing the trailer. I am not going to rumour about that.
"Bjorn will grow older, bigger and stronger". Alexander Ludwig who plays Bjorn told that.

The teaser trailer looks great and tells us a  lot about the storyline of different characters. It tells us a strategy and what the seer sees for someone it is not clear who or what was asked. it gives you an idea of what it will be in season 3 instead of giving big storylines away.  Go and see the teaser trailer for yourself.

Did we miss something or do we have a totally different opinion then those who are in the jury of the Emmy’s nominations?

I was shocked when I heard the Emmy’s nominations. My beloved Vikings didn’t get any nomination in the category of actors, actress and even not the writing staff. The only nomination we got was in SFX.

Vikings had a lot of categories they were in. and didn’t get what the fans wanted. A nomination in all categories. Travis Fimmel does a lot of acting without words amazing. Katheryn Winnick is stunning throughout the whole series, Clive Standen went from a warrior into a drunken Rollo and then get up again.

The writing team did an amazing job to get the show much better than last year. Still they don’t see the show who is back for a third time next year as an Emmy’s nominee. I didn’t I was all the way convinced that we would be nominated for all the categories we were in.

A strange idea we will raid again and next year we will beat them all. We will raid the Emmy’s nominations and we will win because we are the Vikings.

Final season Vikings season 2

Photo credit: Jonathan Hession

This Sunday was the last episode of Vikings.

I am going to miss it, can’t wait for season 3 to arrive. They started shooting season 3 on the 30th of May after one week of preparation. In the preparation we saw new clothes, horse riding and new jewellery even I saw and heard things There is a new cast member. 

There where Emmy q and a’s with Rollo, Ragnar and Lagertha they made clear that they couldn’t resist it to get spoilers to the audience. Even the writer/creator of Vikings Michael Hirst couldn’t. I will try to get as many spoiler free information about the season. Everyone who wants to know more or want to be spoiled then use Twitter or Facebook and follow the actors and cast.

What I liked about the season 2 is that every main character has its own problem. The fighting scenes are shot from person to person. The way they used silent language between unspoken rules between Floki, Bjorn, Siggi and Ragnar. Ragnar sees almost everything but did he expect to have such a though component in King Eckbert? The mythology woven in every single episode told by each and every one is fantastic to know. The best part of season 2 are the first episode, the double wedding and the last episode.

If you want to follow the main characters this is their Twitter/Facebook account where I know of.
DO NOT FOLLOW IF YOU DON”T WANT ANY SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!

Season 3 Vikings What to expect

Season 3

We do know more about season 3. In a recent interview creator Michael Hirst told a bit about season 3. They are going to invade France. With hundreds of boats they will set sail to raid. With lots of armies and men.

If you watch the historical facts then we know that Ragnar is famous of invading Paris. Rollo we know that he is going to marry Poppa the daughter of count Berenger and start a live as duke in Normandy. But these are historical facts and historical facts can be broken in TV.

Bjorn will also be sailing to the Mediterranean he invades Spain but only if Hirst allowed to. At the end of the interview he says: ” but on the other hand, you never know.”

We will never know what Hirst will do because it starts filming in June. The only fact we can know from this interview is that they going to France. Goodbye beloved Vikings we see you in season 3. Then we will know where Hirst was up to.
