Summoning the Mumsnet Fyrd - Uhtred's back!

[BoreOfWhabylon]

Season 3 now on Netflix.

Have just set up an account ('tis free!)

Has everyone finished watching? Was blown away by Ep10 yesterday ⚔️😮⚔️

Yes, I finished yesterday!

I'm going to start again at series 1 and work my way through them all.

On episode 5 - we need a spoiler thread!

Bore you’re very right about the Crystal Cave series being the best Arthurian legend. I might need to reread it now you’ve reminded me of it.

Bore. I don't think I've ever liked a show so much that I've gone straight back to the beginning.

Does anyone know a good book about the period - King Alfred more than his descendants - historical rather than fiction?

Finished it by 8 pm Monday as soon as it came out. Just couldn’t stop.

Ooh hello fellow fans!! Did you make a spoiler thread or are we discussing here? I binge watched it all on Wednesday (surprise day off work so I made the sofa my home for the day).

I am just marking my place. Very excited.

Yet again something I cannot see as do not have netflix - oh well there is always waiting for the DVD!

deathraystare you can get one month free trial on Netflix if the cost is offputting. Just remember to cancel it before the month is up.

Deathraystare I signed up with Netflix specifically to watch this. As IStandWithPosie says, the first month is free. It costs £5.99 per month and there's no contract, you can cancel any time.

Can someone help me with the timeline? Series one ends with Uhtred, Halig and Hild heading north, Aethelflaed is young girl, maybe 8/9 years old. Then series two begins with Aethelflaed appearing to be around 15/16 years old and Aelswith saying she is the age to be betrothed. But there is no way Uhtred has spent 7/8 years drinking and Ragnar and Brida kept prisoner in Winchester all that time. Have they been a bit naughty with the age of Aethelflaed for story purposes and just hoped we don’t notice?

I can't remember if they jump ahead in the books but, yes, it jumps ahead a few years.

If you fancy, register on IMDb and rate all the seasons/eps. There are also polls for best actor/actress etc.

There's also an FB page for Netflix. Again, if you can, please comment as all support is welcome - to make sure S4 will be made. https://www.facebook.com/317789505064849/posts/1084516165058842/

This happened yesterday, some US TLK fans were there and met him after.

Do you want your own Arseling For Life T-shirt - here! Shipping to the uk is a bit steep unfortunately...

Nice pic with Bernard Cornwell.

Oh thanks bagel! I am rewatching from the start. Now on series two. So many handsome men, Sihtric, Finan, Uhtred, Erik.

Agree with the handsome men! Uhtred looks so fierce in S3 with his new hair and costume. Do you follow any on Instagram? Mark Rowley (Finan) and Arnas Federman (Sitric) post funny behind the scenes pics.

Oh, and check out Domestic Uhtred on IG. His wife posted a hilarious video. Really worth a look.

Oh I don’t but I will now. Thank you.

Just watching episode 8 - quite surprised at Uhtred’s swim in the lake!

Yes Sleepy it certainly was 😉

Eliza Butterworth is good on IG too, IStand she's so stunning in real life, so different from her Ælswith look.

Domestic authored is hilarious!

Domestic Uhtred bloody autocorrect

I'm half way through. I adore how Uhtred's gang are like Sharpe's Rifles.

There's even a Sgt Harper equivalent. 😍

Watched the lot over three nights. Cracking stuff.

I’m watching Vikings now and it’s interesting to see some of the same characters just a few years earlier. (Ubba, Alfred) TLK is far superior though. Vikings feels like being clumped round the head with a big, Hollywood Thor’s hammer in comparison to TLK.
