"Vikings" vs "The Vikings"
Self | March 31, 2014 | PJ-Comix

Aussie Ragnar vs Italian Ragnar.

Smiling Ragnar vs Laughing Ragnar.

Athelstan spoke Norse, Old Saxon, and English while Eric spoke Norse, English, and Guttural Bronx.

Floki danced on floors while Einar danced on oars.

Bjorn chopped off a head while Einar chopped off a pigtail.

“Vikings” ate fish while Eric ate knish.

Weird Ragnar son eye from prophecy vs weird Ragnar son eye from hawk.

Ragnar warned “Never hesitate” while Eric wondered “Why did he hesitate?”

Anachronisms: Rollo's L.A. Ink arm vs Morgana's Maidenform bra.


TOPICS: Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: vikings
Oh, and I like the haunting horn theme music of "The Vikings" better. It sticks with you.

Good list, also...

Aelle’s pit of wolves vs. Aelle’s pit of snakes.

Surprisingly, the real life Aelle did have a pit of snakes, not wolves.

I noticed the “LA INK” the other day.

It made me LOL.

In “The Vikings,” Ragnar’s son Einar was actually a year older than his father.

Hmmm....

Italian Ragnar...

or Aussie Ragnar...

C'mon, not even close. Quentin McHale will always be the Tiger of the Pacific. Sorry to say it, but alas, Ernie was not Viking material.

But all in all, despite relatively minor criticisms, I'm still enjoying the series... seriesly.

What? No comparison with THE LONG SHIPS?

THE VIKINGS with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis, is my favorite viking flick.

THE LONG SHIPS is also good for a hoot. (Vikings vs Moroccans).

Anyone remember the TV show THE VIKINGS based on the movie from the late 1950s?

THE VIKINGS with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis, is my favorite viking flick.

Creative way of scaling walls by tossing axes into them and then using them as steps.

I still don't know what to make of the Vikings except that it's better than the old one.

Trevor Morris composer..... Viking was great last night. The stupid Vikings led by Jarl Borg fell for the oldest trick in the book. Accepting the hospitality of being put up in the barn to sleep overnight. I KNEW that barn was going to be torched by Ragnar’s Vikings

Also Lagertha stabbing husband in the eye who then gets decapitated by one of his men who was sick of the drunken idiot
