The last kingdom S2

[Valka]

I don't think anyone outside Darren and I saw The Last Kingdom season 1, but season 2 just dropped on Netflix. Squeeee

I'll be binging next week.

[Valka]

I lied, it's taken me two months to binge. Still good, though. What were the books like?

[Arne]

The books were bloody amazing!  Bernard Cornwell is a fantastic writer.  I think the last one he wrote was The Flame Bearer, and that's the 10th in the series.  I wonder how many seasons they plan on airing . . . I'd love to see characters like Cnut Longsword written into the show.

[Valka]

I'm halfway through now and it felt like a whole season/series finale. I gotta wonder what the heck the rest of the season is about. I'm pleased with this episode but geez four episodes and an entire journey has come to a close and well done might I add. I don't know how in heck there are ten books.

[Valka]

Also Vikings 4 part 2 is finally on Amazon. Guess I'll be binging for a while... No spoilers :p

Bjorn gets ***********.   

[Valka]

HEY don't you talk about my man like that!

[Arne]

Hey, it could be Bjorn gets . . . a sunburn in the Mediterranean, or Bjorn gets . . . a new axe!


So . . . maaaaaybe it's something bad, maaaaaybe it's something good!   

[Valka]

I haven't finished the current Last Kingdom season so I'm trying not to spoil it with this article but it's all about Alfred's daughter and the apparent badass woman she turned into. She's given tribute for her "peace weaving" and military skills, which as everyone knows was not a celebrated female quality in ye old days.

Are you telling me there's more to tv than computer animated cartoons?!

Not often, but sometimes a few gems pop up.     And yup, The Last Kingdom is one of them.

[Geoffrey]

Yeah maybe. But can anything out there really compete with something like Paw Patrol?

I mean, you’ve got talking dogs driving insanely cool vehicles and wearing backpacks that would make McGyver drool. Not to mention the amazing stories like help the baby turtles cross the road or save the jam contest. That’s edge of your seat stuff right there.

[GM Craig]

Ah, parenthood.

[Arne]

I'm rather keen on Star Vs. the Forces of Evil. 

I . . . I mean my son is keen on the show.  Yeah.

Attention Arselings! TLK renewed for a 4th season! Squeeeee

I actually thought it was over with the ending of 3. It was appropriate and Omg all the feels! ALL THE FEELS
