During the panel for the History Channel’s<\/a> Vikings<\/em> there was a lot of talk about the strength of the female characters, the intensity of the battle scenes, and the fact that a period of history rarely seen on TV, and cultures and places rarely portrayed are being brought to life.<\/p>\n Ragnar Lothbrok<\/a> was a real person, written about in poetry, with a variety of legends having risen up around him. \u00a0It may be hard, in the case of Ragnar, to know the precise truth of his life, but knowing what we do about the time in which he lived, the History Channel’s show Vikings<\/em><\/a> offers compelling entertainment, and an exciting glimpse into this period from the past.<\/p>\n The cast, which is working on Season 3 in Ireland, flew to San Diego for Comic-Con International, and talked about the experience of recreating both Norway and England from Centuries ago. \u00a0In season 3 more characters and, by the sounds of it, cultures and regions will be explored by our adventuring characters.<\/p>\n And as an added bonus for attending the Vikings panel, we received a Vikings Comic Book (published by Zenoscope) that I am looking forward to reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During the panel for the History Channel’s Vikings there was a lot of talk about the strength of the female characters, the intensity of the battle scenes, and the fact that a period of history rarely seen on TV, and cultures and places rarely portrayed are being brought to life.
