9/20/2023 0 Comments King alfred vikings season 4![]() When the betrayers of Odo start to plot against Rollo, the emperor has them killed at dinner, after first having sex with each of them. By the way, I know that we left reality town a long time ago but the real Odo was crowned king after defeating the Vikings during the siege of Paris. Poor Odo, he thinks he has finally found a woman who can give it as well as take it but she betrays him. The things you do for love.Ĭount Odo’s (Owen Roe) right-hand man Roland (Huw Parmenter) is secretly having sexual relations with his sister Therese (Karen Hassan), Odo’s mistress, as they plot to replace the count, who…, wait for it, is plotting to replace Emperor Charles (Lothaire Bluteau). Rollo had to kill all of his men, learn Frankish and throw away his Viking bracelet to warm up Gisla’s cold heart. The only part of the plotline that is interesting is when Gisla sees Rollo dressed in his fancy clothes and cracks up. Realizing that the Vikings used the rivers to launch rapid raids and leave before an army could be raised, Charlemagne, the emperor’s grandfather, had fortified many rivers. So, if the screen version has them all massacred, not just the troublemakers, but ALL of them, then what is his value? The suggestion that the Franks build forts on either side of the river with a chain to block Viking raiders? Wow, that’s really original. But the point is that the real Rollo’s followers were the key part of the deal, not Rollo alone. ![]() Not a big deal, time is relative, or something like that, I barely passed physics in high school. The storyline is based on an actual Viking named Rollo who did receive land in Normandy and a dukedom in exchange for defending the Frankish coast against Vikings, but it happened several generations later. When his followers wonder if he is becoming too close to the Franks, he arranges for them to be slaughtered. Sooo, Rollo (Clive Standen) betrays Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) again, only this time to become a duke, because he has fallen for an uptown girl, Princess Gisla (Morgane Polanski). Michael Hirst is doing this to break me, I know it. But I will, because the sooner I finish this review, the sooner I can crack open the rum and deaden the pain of the knowledge that Vikings was renewed for a fifth season of…twenty episodes. Twenty mind-numbing, soul-destroying episodes bursting with so much pure unadulterated stupidity that it is honestly difficult to know where to start. Previous seasons had had nine or ten episodes but Season Four had twenty episodes.
