Alfred is based as fuck.
His acting is great. Alfred himself is a shit.
>>62980112
He's redeemed in ep7 my nigga
The happening starts now
>only one episode left
Well shit, I was just getting into it.
I seriously hope this and Wolfhall get renewed.
>>62980053
babababababababa based
>>62980053
So is this supposed to be a one season show or is there a possibility for season two?
>>62980958
>I seriously hope this and Wolfhall get renewed
da fuck nigga, der anudda good show i is missN?
>>62981217
it's based off of a series of novels and the season is ending after only 8 episodes and nothing has been resolved so yeah it's safe to say there will be a second season.
>>62981284
Alright thanks. How much of the books is left now?
>>62981362
dunno, i heard about the books from early /tv/ threads.
>>62981362
>>62981487
There is something like 8 books, this series will probably finish with the finale of book 2, or just before
>>62981594
Fuck yeah , I really like the show, would hate to see it end after just one season.
>>62981672
I have mixed feelings, i really like Bernard Cornwells books because of the accuracy and attention to detail and I feel like this series is just cashing out on GoT and Vikings and not really doing the books justice.
I'd like to give all the costume design people a slap.
>>62980053
Mfw that war speech in season finale promo perfectly adresses refugees

it appears that when a person lives a long and successful life, their appearance changes slightly.

>>62983146
as through i have no contributed more to the thread than you have.
at least you gave it a bump.
the butthurt bump everybody, the butthurt bump.
>>62980053
Read the wiki page on king Alfred. Turns out he was cool as fuck and kinda nerdy too. 10/10 would pledge allegiance to.
>>62980053
lol no he's just another dumbass Christian
>>62983741
>>62983741
>kinda nerdy
In that time period? How?
im just reading the ninth book now, bit gutted steppa snottor isn't in the show, looks like their will be one or two more books.
>>62984590
how the fuck, i havent got round to buying the latest three books and uhtred is already old as fuck
>>62984916
They are literally doing 2-3 episodes per book. This series is rushed af.
Are you sure the books go forward in time a bit, he is old now but still kickin arse, and i think it is a bit rushed, If this season is succesfull they might put some more money into it.
>>62985024
It's 4 episodes per book so far.
kek feels like that
>>62985214
Still rushed af though. GoT does maybe .75 a book per season.
>>62980291
How have you watched episode 7 already? Thought this was a BBC show and they've only got to episode 5.
>>62986722
bbc america, theirs airs a bit over a week earlier
>>62984479
The guy was LARPing so hard he created a country that still exists to this day.
So is the duel still on? I kinda feel Alfred would stick to enforcing Justice even though the Pretty guy saved his and his boys life.
>>62985286
Don't disagree, but it's better than nothing

Has anyone read the books? I've read the first 4 or 5 in the series then lost interest. How faithful to the books is it for those who've read them? Do Ubba and Ivarr The Boneless show up? Is Ragnar based as fuck?
>>62988036
Ragnar dies too quick to be based, halfway through episode 1, but he was awesome when he was on screen. Ubba shows up and got killed in solo combat already in epside 4 or 5.
In general, they cut out a lot from the books to streamline the show.
>>62988132
Gay. Is Uhtred at least the one who kills Ubba?
>>62988361
No, it's Ubba's lack of Achilles tendons that's his downfall.
>>62988361
Yea he does.
>>62988036
It's not Ragnar from Vikings, if that's what you're thinking of. Just a shitcunt Earl named Ragnar.
>>62980053
too bad he is hopelessly brainwashed by religion and does a lot of stupid things
>>62980112
He does what needs to be done, for the good of the Kingdom and setting things up for what will eventually be the Kingdom of England.
>>62981217
This first series is meant to be based on the first two novels of the Saxon Stories. These are the novels:
The Last Kingdom
The Pale Horseman
The Lords of the North
Sword Song
The Burning Land
Death of Kings
The Pagan Lord
The Empty Throne
Warriors of the Storm
So a lot more content to play with.
>>62982163
Leofric is based.
>>62981230
Wolf Hall is very good. Damian Lewis is good as Henry VIII and Mark Rylance is brilliant.
Recommend me some more historical series while we wait for the next ep.
Btw, if Leofric is stronger than Uthred, and Uhtred beat Ubba, is Leofric the strongest dude in Wessex?
>>62990741
Uthred is a long-haired arseling. Leofric stronk.
>>62982573
Challenger disaster is faked to disway public opinion on space travel because we couldn't hack it for the moon missions. That is why buzz Aldrin became an alcoholic.
You'd think that after 17 successful missions to the moon, there would be an efficiency of rockets. No one goes above low earth orbit. Take it or leave it.

If you like Shakespeare, then The Hollow Crown.
>>62990741
Bastard Executioner is weak. But it's better than nothing and it's only 10 episodes.
>alfred offers to spare based leofric in exchange for basically executing the pagan queen
>Uhtred "Hoes b4 Bros" refuses
