Travis Fimmel (Ragnar), Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha), Clive Standen (Rollo) and Alexander Ludwig (Bjorn) along with Michael Hirst (writer/creator) and Dirk Hoogstra (EVP & General Manager, History Channel) lead the charge of the Vikings into San Diego this year…..in years past, we’ve seen huge offsites and tall viking ships, but this year promises to be their biggest yet. It’s pretty amazing….years ago Disneyland rearranged some of its characters inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction (in both Anaheim and Orlando) so not to offend our increasingly sensitive audiences (now, instead of chasing women, the pirates are chasing the FOOD that those women are carrying on their plates…..yeeeeaaaaah, that’s what’s happening…)…anyway, the History Channel’s VIKINGS dispenses with such historical gerrymandering, and instead delivers a rough, edgy, and THANKFULLY politically incorrect show about those Viking barbarians!
And the ratings show that the viewing public doesn’t mind a bit of accuracy with their history (go figure)…in other words, Vikings is a MASSIVE hit for History, and the Comic Con crowds will have four different ways to engage with the Viking mayhem this year (including giant drinking horns)….for the full article, check out BLASTR’s roundup below.
