Why do bad things happen to good characters? This is a question I kept asking myself during tonight’s phenomenal Vikings episode. (Spoilers ahead). There were a lot of good things happening in the episode. Lagertha and Bjorn’s scenes together continued to be strong. It’s good to know he’ll have her back against her awful husband, […]
Actor Alexander Ludwig is no stranger to intense roles, having appeared in films such as The Hunger Games and Lone Survivor. Last week, he joined the cast of Vikings as Bjorn, son of Ragnar Lothbrok. I spoke to Alexander over the phone about what it was like to join the show and about portraying a character who ends up being […]
Vikings just keeps getting better and better. The second season started out strong, and so far, hasn’t slipped up. There was a lot going on this week (including several new cast members) and pretty much all of it was good. Let’s start with Athelstan.

This is easy to remedy, because there are only nine episodes to catch up on before Season 2 premiers next year. (I don’t know which is worse: that there were only nine episodes, or […]
History Channel’s new mini-series Vikings is a lot tamer than one would expect, considering the subject matter.
