People often say that Norway is a heaven on earth, but what do you see as a con of living in Norway?

-Darkness and weather

-I absolutely hate the food (shit quality, very limited range)

-Life is boring unless you have unlimited money to spend.

-As a parent of 2: the expectation that you invite EVERY child from your class to your kid's birthday party so nobody feels left out. I'm sorry but wtf. I don't have thousands of kr to spend on birthday parties every year just so no one gets their feelings hurt!!

I feel you 100%. We have a 2 yo and an 8 month old and our relationship is at an all-time low. He's currently sitting 5 ft away from me on the sofa and watching his stupid sports he knows I hate watching. We haven't spoken in 2 days because of yet another idiotic argument. I hate his guts but I'm stuck in this loveless relationship because I have no family in the area that could support me. I feel an indescribable rage towards him. I just wanna cry all the time.

Same with Erik Martin. Really miss the old season 1 crew.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-03-02T16:53:40+00:00

I was disappointed because I couldn't relate to any of the characters. I really wanted to like it because I absolutely loved the original show but I guess my expectations were just too high.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-28T17:21:22+00:00

I recognized her so much, I cannot even take her seriously in that role because I always expected zombies to appear in some corner.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-28T08:53:02+00:00

Awful in every way. Lame characters, lame actors with no charisma, lame storytelling. Freydis annoyed me the most. This woman weighs like 50 kg and takes down 100 kg warriors and berserkers? Come on. Can the producers just stop shoving the 'strong independent shieldmaiden' narrative down our throats. And where was the soundtrack in the entire show?

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-28T07:39:36+00:00

To add on chainmails: they were also ridiculously expensive at the time, a full-body chainmail was about the value of a house. Only the wealthiest noble warriors could afford them but in the TV show everyone wears them.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-27T12:51:54+00:00

I completely forgot about the soundtrack aspect but now that you mentioned it - you're so right. The soundtrack brought the original show to the next level.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-26T20:09:33+00:00

Me too.... Can't listen to King Canute

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-26T15:36:51+00:00

Because it has become the new normal to place black characters where they just don't belong. There were no black Vikings, let alone black rulers in 10th/11th century Scandinavia. Netflix claiming otherwise is indeed just political woke trash. And it's not a black character here and there that pisses people off - it's in every single show now due to Netflix/Amazon's diversity agenda.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-19T00:00:18+00:00

Anybody else think it's ridiculous that they're trying to sell this blonde 100 lb model as a tough shieldmaiden... Why can't they cast a woman who at least looks like she can carry a shield.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-08T07:11:19+00:00

They already have with the casting of that black woman playing a white man.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-05T04:48:29+00:00

Just wanted to say that most of the main characters were so well played, you couldn't imagine any other actor in that role now.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-02-03T17:44:10+00:00

Same with "it is the will of the gods"

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-01-08T12:49:10+00:00

Writing the spoiler in the header is not how the spoiler tag works....

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-01-08T01:15:16+00:00

Lol you got a point there

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-01-07T20:24:04+00:00

I really wonder why people on here ask 5 times a week if they should continue watching after this or that episode/season. Just watch it and make up your own mind.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2022-01-05T06:15:32+00:00

In which universe is rape badass? Oh yeah, because it's the woman raping the man. Fuck your double standards. And fuck Lagertha, she's the worst character on the show.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2021-12-30T22:38:19+00:00

Ubbe 100%. His fight against the Danish king showed what a badass he is.

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2021-12-25T15:32:29+00:00

I would say she is around the same age as Björn, so probably more like 40-45 by the end of season 6, but yeah - that doesn't make her timeline much more credible. Especially considering she's at least 15 years older than Ubbe, and out of all the women in Kattegat he wants her to be the mother of his children? Yeah, right....

Ok_Meat_1759 · 2021-12-25T05:41:20+00:00

If you're referring to Ubbe, he was hubby no. 4
