when Athelstan dies on Vikings I'm checking out

That icon of yours, is it from an interview or something?

indeedly so
http://youtu.be/iPsRG0-RQSg
enjoy the kissing and general adorableness ♥

Is that the adorable, innocent looking one?

Yep. The adorable, innocent one plays the cutest Catholic monk ever on television.

yep that's the one

this adorable little bb omg

Ehehehehe. Look at his curly cherub hair. Have they actually had sex with him yet, or is that a fandom thing?

Nope. He's still chaste. Though they have tempted him so many times. But it's more of a "Let's tease the Christian heathen" thing when they do that.

what are your thoughts on Thyri?

She just bathed the monk. Nothing else happened because Athelstan, as tempted as he was and as much as he tried to hide his faith, just could not bring himself to break his faith. That's what I believe happened.

have you seen the extended version of that scene, with them making out naked on the bed/ground? I mean I also believe that he's still a virgin, because for some reason I have faith that if something that HUGE had happened to him, we'd have seen his reaction, but they did make some pretty big implications that they were doing the do.

the threeway never happened *sob* But the way this character is written fandom can't honestly know which way is up-- we have no idea whether he's even a virgin anymore or not :\ I'm in the camp of "until he cries about it, he's still a virgin" but people have set up tents under several different beliefs lol

I cannot deal with his beautiful face

My sister's boyfriend looks like him. O.O

um how willing would you be to kidnap him and ship him to me via fedex tho

I think she is pretty fond of him, so not very willing. :C If things change, I will kidnap him and ship him to you. :D

Dying would break my heart but if he ever converted, I'm done. Him holding onto his faith while being knee deep in a place full of religious fanatics is one the most intriguing parts of the series. However if Lagertha dies, yes, then I am checking out.

yeah I understand why you feel that way, but honestly I will love him whether he converts or not; it will just make him even more interesting to me. With the caveat that IT MUST BE WRITTEN WELL. And I'm not sure that the writers will pull it off, but if he's going to convert it can't be like "oh we forgot to mention it but he's not a Christian anymore~" thing.
If Lagertha dies I might have to burn something down because there's nooooo reason for that to happen any time soon.

Same. I only started watching for George and I'm a few episodes in, and I'm still only watching for him. I'm finding the series to be a real slog to get through, but... damn George Blagden. As long as he's in it, I can't not watch it.

I didn't start watching for him, but the moment he showed up he became my favourite part of the show. I'm sorry it's a slog for you though :( I love the show, but the first eps are much better than the later ones so I fear you might have an even harder time ahead...

Yea...me too, probably. Don't get me wrong, I started watching Vikings because I thought the premise looked interesting; I didn't know anything about George back then. But Athelstan quickly became one of my favorite characters and I think he's essential to the show; they need someone with his heart and innocence around to counteract the nature of the Vikings. I worry about him losing his faith or becoming a warrior too, so I hope they don't go too far with that. :(

I didn't start watching for George either (I started because Vikings are AWESOME), but he is definitely essential. I am interested to see how it works for him to become more of a Viking while holding on to his faith, and I hope it's written well. But yeah the fact that we're sitting here talking about how we're worried about his faith when the show's been off the air for weeks and weeks says something about the connection the character made with his audience ;)

So true! Hopefully they realize Athelstan is a huge fan favorite and that the show itself benefits greatly from his involvement; not just because of the fans either, but from what the character brings to the show. I don't want him going anywhere anytime soon, and the show wouldn't be the same without him so I think killing him off is kind of risky.

(All the time-skips worry me too though, because they allow the show to completely bypass certain issues that NEED to be addressed. And Travis makes it sound like those are going to be common again, so...blerg. They better give Athelstan's storyline the depth it deserves!)

Agreed 100%. They had no idea that he was going to blow up in popularity, obviously, but it seems like they figured it out pretty quickly considering they make sure George is with them for all their press stuff.

Based on the length of George's hair right now it looks like the season is going to START with a damn time jump :\ Those are what started the breakdown of the first season so that depresses me. I want to SEE how Ragnar and Lagertha come to terms with Gyda's death, how Athelstan is dealing with being spared when so many died instead, how Bjorn manages with Aslaug... but what do you want to bet they drop us into the story right before/right after Aslaug has her baby, after Lagertha and Ragnar have been estranged for months? And we never get to see anything.

Oh god, yes. Things were better before the constant time-skips started and the show skipped golden opportunities for character development.

but what do you want to bet they drop us into the story right before/right after Aslaug has her baby, after Lagertha and Ragnar have been estranged for months? And we never get to see anything.

That is probably exactly what will happen and it's a damn shame. SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL!
