Re: Canon Rant Thread

[elaminator]

I just wish Vikings wasn't all over the place. I hate that something huge happens and next episode months have passed and things that should be discussed get tossed to side and forgotten. (Like Lagertha's miscarriage, and Athelstan's near sacrifice.)

It's not a terrible show, but it could be so much better too.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

AGREED SFM. I love the characters so dearly. But I cannot stand the time skips and bizarre pacing.

"Where are we? What happened? When did you grow a beard? Are we going to have any build up to this next event? No? You're just going to kill that potentially cool secondary character? We're just going to skip ahead umpty ump years? Cool beans."

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[elaminator]

IA, Vikings has some cool characters but there's an insane amount of wasted potential for character development and cool story lines because of how fast the show moves. It would be nice if we could see the characters react more often, or react in a timely manner, not months after the fact. I would be much happier with the show if there were fewer time skips.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[inevitableentresol]

The writer's a former historian. I think that might have something to do with it. Given a patchy historical record, he'll be used to time skips and characters changing dramatically depending on which sources are used.

In fiction, those faults are not so acceptable.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[iceyred]

That's exactly what I'm talking about. That show is the epitome of good idea...nonexistent execution.

Example: I expected the Rollo Rebellion to take up the entire season. Instead, it's over in one episode.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[elaminator]

Right? I figured that would take up a huge part of the season (I should have known better); I'm disappointed that its already over. What a waste.

Your icon displays my feelings perfectly. That's what they were leading up to at the end of the first season; this huge, drawn out, emotionally gut-wrenching war between Cain and Abel.

I feel like singing that Adele song. We could have had it aaaaaall.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[elaminator]

lol, that icon in combination with Rolling in the Deep expresses my feelings on so many shows I watch. Very few of them aren't pretty fucked up in some way, but it's extra sad with Vikings because unlike some of the others, there's an excellent base to build on, TPTB just go about things wrong.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

the buildup and fallout of "Sacrifice" could have been an entire arc: one episode. The plague that wiped out several major characters: less than one episode. The coming-of-age of the boy who will become one of the most important characters: skipped entirely. Yeah.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[iceyred]

Oh, that plague. Y'know what really bugged me about that plague? They killed off female characters. Two young women who were a lot more compelling and interesting and had a lot more potential than Aslaug.
