So I keep forgetting to tell people to watch Vikings on the History Channel

Despite an unfortunate "incident" at the end of last season, the current season, which had it's mid-season finale last week, that I am just watching tonight continues an excellent tradition.

Interesting notes:

1) In season 5, we finally meet up with the start of "The Last Kingdom" from the UK (on Netflx etc)
2) It really makes me want to tell the tale of Sir Stainsberry's first mission which involves both Ragnar Lothbrook and a certain mead hall under attack by a certain famous "monster" and his mother.

I think the great pathos of the Vikings is that they are/were worshiping gods that had been barred from their planet for a good 3,000 years, awaiting a Ragnarok that had already happened
