Vikings Burial of the Dead (2013–2020) Online

The wounded and weak Ragnar challenges and defeats Eart Haraldson killing him. He becomes the next Earl and gives a funeral to Haraldson. Ragnar also learns that Lagertha is pregnant. By the end of the winter, Ragnar sails with three ships to loot England. But this time, King Aelle is waiting for the Vikings.

"Burial of the Dead" shows the predictable fate of Eart Haraldson. Rollo does not seem to be a trustworthy character and his attitude toward his brother are at least suspicious. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Burial of the Dead"

I really enjoy this show. I was afraid it would be too lame & Hollywood with no grit. But its very balanced.

The scenery is beautiful. The people seem real. Gustaf Skarsgård is awesome as Floki Travis Fimmel is really awesome as Ragnar. This is a way better role for him than being a pretty boy which alienates most male viewers.

I'm glad it didn't take 2 years to get rid of David Pearce as Svine or is that SWINE !! Him & Byrne played a great role because I truly disliked them !

Cant wait for next show :)

Apologies Dominus.

I am going to do something in a review I seldom do. It is similar to mixing metaphors, but on steroids. Don't say you were not warned.

But truth is truth.

Just before watching this superb episode, I was checking out, on the internet, a video prepared by two top economists trying to explain what is going on in our crazy world. (This written March 2015).

We have, they said, moved past the point where capital and labor are naturally of value. Today technology is moving so fast that ideas and innovation are where society is headed. Entire industries that used to rely on monopolies and controlled outputs will break open. People who try to escape by relying the social systems will find that both government and the social programs will ultimately collapse. But there is good news, they said. We come from hunter-gatherers. It is in our DNA. We were not created to go to a factory job and do the same thing for 8 hours, nor were we created to sit back and watch TV and receive payment for doing nothing. We will need to get creative again. And go back to our roots.

So, as these thoughts were buzzing through my head, I watched Ragnar, a man who had figured out it was possible, and profitable, and doable, to sail west for spoils, not east, duke it out with the man who refused to accept such innovation for fear of "appearing weak." I watched that man die.

And I watched as his toady, a man who seemed he could get a job in any bureaucracy in the world, without an appointment, demand that Ragnar be killed .. only to get killed himself.

And 2 thoughts came to me at the same time:

1. This is good TV.

2. Those economists might be onto something,

If this how things are going .. why no one challenge the current Eart and defeat him then became a king ??? why didn't they think about it and turn their lives into a combats and fights? Ragnar was weak but no one think i must be the king ..
