alba; Watched all 6 episodes so far and must admit to being ever so slightly disappointed with this latest series. Still very watchable but some of the menace disappeared from the show when Ragnar died with none of the present characters able to fill his boots, so to speak. Totally agree with you on the fight scene but, then, they've all been excellently shot. Especially the raid on Paris a couple of series back. That was quite awesome and the brutality of what it must have been like in real life really struck home. Who would have thought that a gem such as Vikings would have been created on the History channel?
