Let Me Get This Straight: Hirst et al said “Fuck you, fans.”


Loyal fans like I am followed the series from Day 1 on History, then hack Hirst moves it to Prime!? From what I glean reading the posts here, the last season was a dick in need of Viagra; no surprise when Hirst (The Tudors, The Borgias, The Costume Period Piece du Jour) is involved. I really wanted to see the loathsome Ivar die a protracted, agonizing and humiliating death. My loss. I gather they flew Floki in from a holiday in Bangkok for 1 final scene, because the show runners forgot they’d left him in a cave filled with Pagan and Christian relics. Then they reincarnated Athaslan through some transmogrified character. This sounds like a train wreck. . . but I’d have savored the opportunity to have sneered at it in real time.

Ah, well, Mike: at least you could cast your daughter in this. I’m “sure” she had the best audition for the part.
