To go along with that thread about the movie with Thor taking of the world, did anybody else watch the series vikings?
If so, what did you think?
Personally I'm not sure I liked it very much. I felt that it put a somewhat negative spin on the viking culture, particularly after that episode with all the sacrificing. I felt that history focused to much on creating a story that would boost their ratings, and not nearly enough on facts and important details. Only the most basic or "shocking" aspects of the Heathen faith were shown. While I appreciated the attempt to bring Heathens and our ancient culture to national attention, I feel like it did more harm than good.
But outside of that it was kinda a cool show.
