Moments of Vision

Terrible episode, for what is in my opinion a good series. The story is all over the place, you constantly are thrown back and forth in flashbacks and the present. Looks like the new way to direct, but it fails.

Don,t know why everyone is so negative about this episode ...ok some are better than others in this season.

But that goes for almost every show!

people complain about the show not being historically accurate well DUHH they have to relay on scriptures and Sagas and little poems written somewhere in the 8 9 10 11th century that and some archeological findings

So yeah a lot is going be left to the writers and producers imagination with the help of a handful of historians !

I like this episode because of the great dialogs between the brothers only thing I don't like is that they don't made it into a 90 min episode now some parts seemed rushed

other than that great episode it had everything dialog action

After this most recent episode (Season 5 episode 10) Mrs. Shullivan and I looked at each other and spontaneously said "boy was this a major disappointment". Ever since Ragnar Lothbrook was killed off in the series and the reigns to the Great Hall of Kattegat were handed over to Queen Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) her eldest son Bjorn Lothbrook (Travis Fimmel) and her stepson, the boneless Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen) have been in a battle off and on the field.

In this episode the two stepbrothers Bjorn and Ivar and their current Queen Lagertha literally pull up chairs and sit in the middle of their battlefield to decide the future of their kingdom. Will they continue to violently attack and kill off their respective armies or will they find an amicable solution which will allow both stepbrothers to reign over Kattegat once Queen Lagertha either abdicates her throne or assigns it to one of the deceased King Ragnar's sons?

Ever since Travis Fimmel left the series his best friend and loyal boat builder Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) has been off in his own dreamworld in his attempt to build a new Shangri-La on what appears to be an island that has an imminent volcano ready to implode, or will Floki please his gods and live happily ever after with the handful of Vikings and their families who set sail with Floki, further breaking up the deceased King Ragnar's empire in Kattegat.

This episode was so convoluted I am quite sure that even the writers themselves were confused as to what they were trying to write as a mid season ending episode. This battle was not on the field, but with its TV viewers who were left wondering...."what are they fighting about during this entire episode?" It failed miserably and consequently I have to provide the lowest rating I have given for this series to date, a 5 out of 10 rating.

Sorry, but I call them like I see them

What is god's name happend to vikings? jezus christ... until season 4 vikings was pure orgasm, and now i'm watching and constantly thinking "what have they done? where are they going with this?"

It seems to me that once they get enough people to watch it, they start to make it similar to all other hollywood crap... i'm sorry for my language but this is true, and my honest opinion about it.

If you look at the first two seasons, you'll get the perfect image of how downhill vikings got...

Dear producers and all other suit people working on this show: stop taking a dump on this show.... make it great again like the first seasons...

best regards,

a viking fan.... (was).

Don't undrstand the other reviews Finally some cinematography back in vikings, great character developement, good scenes, finally a battle where something happens, intense. Laghertha fianlly aging, rollo coming back to put some order back in this mess raganr's sons are doing, wrongly. Some viking fantasy back in the game, well made this time. I wasn't expecting a good episode, cause don't get me wrong, 9 bad episodes just for one good in the end, this is TWD way, and it is of course the wrong way to make a show. Vikings should inspires itself from mr robot, better call saul, this is us, homeland, etc... where all episodes get great writings and great acting and cinematography. The guy who talks about hollywood batlle, man, all battles from this seaosn where bad, really bad, nothing well written, erything felt the same and already seen, nothing intense, and here finally we get something clever and well made.
