Vikings season 5: Focus on the new characters of the next episodes

sivertime — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 20:35:23 +0000

Little by little, the information about season 5 of Vikings reach us! Find out who will be the new characters of the next episodes!
Fresh blood! Recently, we revealed everything we knew about Alfred, the future enemy of Ivar in season 5 of Vikings , who will change interpreter for the occasion. Now, embodied by Ferdia Walsh-Peel, the character will be joined by several new faces. Here are those who will be the new heroes of the series proposed by History !
ÆTHELRED
This new character is neither more nor less than one of the four known brothers of Alfred. In the new episodes, he will be played by Darren Cahill, a young actor that some have seen in the Irish series Red Rock . This character should be very present during the fighting, but also in the political affairs of Wessex since he will accede to the throne at the death of his father Æthelwulf. It should be noted that Alfred became the famous King Alfred the Great after Æthelred’s death , so we could witness his death by the end of the first part of season 5 . As for the many sons of Ragnar, whom we do not find in the series, it would seem that the other sons of the king of Wessex (Æthelstan, Æthelbald and Æthelberht, are not present,
KETILL FLATNOSE
We already talked about it! Wrestling star Adam Copland will camp Katill at Flat Nose, a famous vikings king of the Hebrides who lived in the 9th century. For the purposes of the series, its history should be rewritten, while taking the same path. Thus, we can expect it to be involved in maritime shipments to the West. Let us note that his story links him to Harald Finehair, so that he could prove to be one of the rivals of our heroes .
EYVIND
Kris Holden-Ried is a protagonist of Kris Holden-Ried, and offers a meager description that he is an important warrior of Kattegat who decides to travel and settle his family in a new country. Presumed unrelated to any historical reality, we can still ask whether it would not be related to Eyvind Lambi . The latter included the uncle of a certain Egil and the brother of an important member of the court of Harald Finehair, with whom he was very much a friend. We can thus assume that the character will join this new Viking enemy of the sons of Ragnar. Betrayals should still be numerous.
WHITE HAIR
Kieran O’Reilly is the character who is unknown to us if not his name, assuredly chosen because of his white hair. The absence of information prompts the fans to feed interesting theories, so many people think that the character’s name is a code to hide that it will be Olaf the White. In historical accounts, the latter is the son of Ragnar (but for the series its origin should be reinvented), the king of Dublin and especially one of the loyal companions of Ivar. Moreover, as the universe of the Vikings remains small, he is the husband of the daughter of Ketill in the Flat Nose.
EUPHEMIUS
Incarnated by the Portuguese comedian Albano Jerónimo, there again no information was provided on this character. However, we can link it to the eponymous Byzantine admiral. If this is the latter we discover, the character will be very interesting since after being accused of having abducted a young nun from a convent, he organized an uprising against the Byzantine Emperor Michael II and, after some successes Military, he proclaimed himself Emperor of Syracuse, independent of Constantinople. He was described as a respected and charismatic king. Knowing that he would be defeated by the Byzantine troops when the reinforcements were sent from the East, he appealed to the Muslim rulers of Ifriqiya to take Sicily and Malta to the Byzantines. It is, therefore, Man who initiated the Arab invasion and the beginning of Islamic domination for two centuries on the island as the emirate of Sicily. It remains to be seen how his history will be mingled with that of our heroes. Most certainly via Bjorn and its conquest of the Mediterranean Sea.
ZIYADAT ALLAH
Incarnated by Khaled Abol Naga, no information was disclosed about the character. However, we know that Ziyadat Allah was the third Emir of Ifriqiya. We can therefore expect his story to be that of Euphemius.
KASSIA
Incarnated by Karima McAdams, we can link this character with the historical figure that Kassiani is. The latter was a Byzantine abbess, poet, composer and hymnographer, known to be incredibly beautiful and intelligent . Since she was perceived as venerated, she was subjected to whipping with a whip. Having finished his life in Greece, it is still considered as a rare and exceptional phenomenon and no less than twenty-three authentic hymns are attributed to him. In the series, his story will certainly be mixed with those of Ziyadat Allah and Euphemius, but his route should cross that of Bjorn and Halfdan as evidenced by a photo posted on the account Instagram of the actress.
HAKON
Played by Laurence O’Fuarain, this character is most likely to link up with Håkon Grjotgardsson, an ally of Harald, to whom he offered his daughter in marriage, either to Håkon Sigurdsson, who is one of the descendants of ” Harald. In one case or another, we can think that his story will be rewritten for the needs of the series, especially in terms of temporality. A certainty, the character will be at the sides of the Viking having betrayed the sons of Ragnar . With so many new directions, many ideas of Vikings spin-offs can arise , but one thing is certain, the sequel promises to be very intense! What do you think of these new characters?

Vikings season 4: Back on 5 key moments!

sivertime — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 19:47:24 +0000

While waiting to know when the series will return, let’s back on 5 key moments of the season 4 of Vikings!
Highlights! While we were wondering when Vikings season 5 would start , on the American cable channel History , it’s time to go back with the 5 key moments we were offered to see in the latest episode.
THE BOND IN TIME
We had not seen him coming, yet the final midseason ended in an impressive leap in time. This one is of capital importance in the second half of season 4 of Vikings since the cards are redistributed. Ragnar lost his prestige, Bjorn rose as the true leader of Kattegat, governed by an Aslaug carried on the drink. He also allowed us to get acquainted with the four sons of Ragnar so each one presents a facet of the personality of their father. This leap in time has changed the course of the series’s history and we just regret not having had an episode focusing on Ragnar’s experience during the past lapse of time .
LAGERTHA TAKES POWER ON KATTEGAT
Although we may wonder why she waited so long to take action, Lagertha finally takes power over Kattegat, killing Aslaug in passing. Her revenge is accomplished and she finally has what she believes to be her own. This takeover had consequences on our perception of Lagertha, but also on the Viking city since it has great ambitions for Kattegat. It puts in place the construction of defensive fortifications and these new stakes evidently bring about new confrontations. During this half-season, Kattegat has gone from being a simple village to a central character and we expect major events to take place there.
THE FIRST APPARITION OF HEAHMUND
The first scene where we discover the character played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, on which we told you more and which will be at the heart of season 5 of Vikings , is not transcendent and does not teach us much, if it Is that this religious has an impressive sword and that he does not respect his vow of chastity. However, we know that Heahmund will deliver impressive fights against our warriors and that he will be their main enemy in the next episodes . We strongly urge him to take action.
THE DEPARTURE OF FLOKI
This event only takes place in the final season, but it is important for the future. Indeed, it is a journey of a new kind that will be offered to the character, an initiatory journey where he will be carried by the waters to an unknown destination. Thanks to Floki, we should meet new peoples, new cultures and new religions . Before finding our warriors, Floki must find peace and this path promises great moments.
THE DEATH OF RAGNAR
There have been many deaths throughout the season and all are important, nevertheless that of Ragnar is major since it marks the end of an era. We knew it would happen sooner or later, but we did not expect it at that time, not half the second half of the season. Although incredibly well directed and almost poetic, the death of Ragnar was a difficult time . His body was not found by his sons, the actor assures him that he will not return, but we always hope to see his spirit, beyond his voice that often resonated after his death. Ragnar is dead, but he remains the hero of Vikings through his most beautiful legacy: his sons! What are your 5 key moments?

Vikings season 4: Deaths of SPOILERS, new character and end of the series, the creator says it all!

sivertime — Sun, 05 Feb 2017 19:27:04 +0000

Michael Hirst, the creator of Vikings, tells us more about the deaths of SPOILERS, about the new character and about the end of the series!
He says it all! While the promotion of Vikings’ season 5 begins and we are telling the 5 things to remember from the first video promo, Michael Hirst has made many revelations about the sequel in several interviews! First of all, there are many who wonder about the intrigues involving Rollo and Floki. Did the characters come to the end of their adventures? “No, no, they did not leave at all, they will be back, absolutely!” The good news is that the story of Rollo ended without any great brilliance. Other characters will not return like Helga, embodied by Maude Hirst, the creator’s own daughter. Michael Hist is particularly income on when it was announced that her character would die: “It was pretty exciting to talk to his death Maudie This is not an easy thing to do as it was the end.. Correct and inevitable of the plot, but it was not easy.This is Vikings, so you know that many people will die.This is often difficult to deal with the death of major characters anyway. Was quite traumatic to portray Ragnar ‘s death, but it’ s different when it comes to my own daughters, so we survive and die, but I have to be as objective as I can be. was the end of a scenario where I took this character as far as possible. as a father, writer and producer, I had to make the right decision ” .
This death will certainly serious consequences for the character of Floki and it tells us a bit more: “It will definitely travel, as alluded He says his life is over, or that the life he has. He has lost all three people he has loved most in life: his daughter, Ragnar and his wife, and he will submit to the will of the gods, and we know that he is a pagan fundamentalist. Has finished the life he has lived in. He will submit to the gods and if it is the will of the gods that he will die, he will accept it, of course. He will also submit if they have a purpose for him, if his destiny is to do something else. Basically, he will build a small boat for himself and let him sail to the unknown, before discovering what it means I spoke with my historical advisor, Justin Pollard, and asked him what he thought, and he told me it was not stupid because at that time many Christian missionaries were doing the same thing . Of themselves, they boarded small boats, believing they were guided by the will of God. They crossed the oceans, I guess many of them died, but some of them have landed in extraordinary places around the world. And so it was not such a crazy idea after all ” .
Michael Hirst also returns on the controversial death without historical accuracy, Sigurd: . “Obviously, this is not a documentary, I’m not saying it happened, we know that many of Ragnar son perished in various ways Thus, as a writer, I feel free to consider their ends in different ways and still be realistic.The main point is to be plausible, realistic and truthful, not to be We can not be accurate because we do not know, so Ivar killing his brother just seemed something Ivar would do. “Ivar is quickly becoming one of the major forces in the series Alex Hogh is a wonderful actor; character is amazing because you never know what he’ll do next. And that’s what I wanted to show is that with Ivar you will never know what he will do next ” . So is Ivar completely unpredictable or does he know what he’s going to do next? “He’s in conflict, we should all have a lot of sympathy for Ivar because it’s the way he grew up, he’s disabled and he’s been disadvantaged, I do not want the public to ever disagree with Ivar He is an extreme, almost bipolar person, so he gets angry and defends himself, he was disadvantaged so he had to try hard to be equal to his brothers and it made him aggressive in some Situations, his brother can push him too far and Ivar has no moral control, he does not know when it is appropriate to stop or when it is appropriate not to do anything.He did that when he was a kid If you remember, he killed a boy because he was frustrated and angry, the same Ivar, and as a writer he is exactly the kind of character you want to write, as a writer, you do not necessarily know what he will do next ” .
Next season we will see Ivar confront Heahmund , Michael Hirst says their relationship: .. “He and Ivar have a very complicated and interesting relationship Heahmund is a real person, there was what was called a warrior bishop C ‘ Is a new interesting character as someone who could stand up to the Vikings, it was wonderful when we chose Johnny to play this role because these guys are strangers. Templars, they were completely mad, Johnny is the forerunner of this, people fighting a holy war against the pagans, we have just introduced this character who is a devout and Catholic Christian but also passionate. very confrontational, passionate, a confident. it leads the first in a conflict and then into a deeper relationship with Ivar. it’s an extraordinary relationship that develops ” . Another central point of season 5 will Kattegat: “Kattegat is a very attractive trading station for other Vikings and other kings and so it will remain at the heart of the series Construction began at the bottom of the studio in Ireland with three. The real Kattegat has grown and will always be threatened, and the sons of Ragnar will always fight for it because it is the true spiritual home of their family. king or queen has a huge share of the legacy and spirit of Ragnar. in season five, people are still fighting for it. It’s still an important place for us ” .
Finally, he came back on the changes made as each season now has 20 episodes instead of usual 10: “This is a new challenge for me the first time we filmed during the winter and although the. Ireland has a temperate climate, it is cold and it is raining Ragnar’s death has been turned into the worst conditions I’ve ever seen on a shoot: making 20 rather than 10 puts enormous pressure on me sometimes because I work with three Different directors on six or eight different scripts simultaneously, we all feel that the series is getting bigger and better, we are now the ninth world series and the audience is growing. feel defeated by the challenge of making all those extra episodes, it is a fact privilege ” . However, the end is prepared as he reveals: “I know the end of the series I was in New York last week and I unveiled the end of the series History MGM and I think we can.. move forward with confidence towards the end of the series I always imagined, and that will be a huge surprise ” . So will season 5 be the last? “No. All I can say for now is that we’re filming season five, but we certainly have a sixth season” . We can hope for another 40 episodes! Lately, we dévoilions you when Season 5 will air the Vikings! What do you think of the creator’s comments?

Vikings season 4: Episode 20, who died in the Season Finale?

sivertime — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 20:04:40 +0000

Season 4 of Vikings ended last night! We take stock of the – many – deaths of the Season Finale.
Well clearly, Vikings dropped a lot of ballast in the season 4! The series dares and we adore. If we were accustomed to a lot of violence on the part of the show History , ever so many main characters had bowed out in so little time. The casting loads of the series had to be overbooked during the shooting of season 5 because clearly, it was necessary to bail the ranks! Not surprisingly, the Season Finale of season 4 Vikings did not escape this morbid trend. It’s time to say goodbye to the dead of this episode 20 crazy … Warning, spoilers (logically).
The soldiers of Prince Aethelwulf’s army
The prince does himself miraculously not without watching his men die one by one facing the powerful Vikings. There is no doubt that his desire for revenge will be enormous in season 5 …
Helga and Tanaruz
Poor Helga! All his love for Tanaruz was not enough. Her daughter adopted the stab before committing suicide. Hard blow for Floki (and for us!).
The King Ecbert
After negotiating with Bjorn and in a scene completely crazy and mystical, King Ecbert is killing himself by cutting his veins.
Sigurd
You must not annoy Ivar too long, otherwise he will swing an ax in your mouth (after all, he has already done it when he was only a toddler). We had seen him coming and we had not been mistaken, Ivar ended up killing his brother under the gaze of the rest of the siblings …
Once again, the Vikings offered us a memorable episode that presage an exceptional season 5 ! Who will follow Ivar in his madness? Will Lagertha remain at the head of Kattegat? Will Rollo be back? Will the Ecbert clan succeed in making the Vikings tremble? So many questions that will make us ruminate until the recovery … By then, stay connected!
