haha yeah someone on the set was flexing their nerd superpowers. I think that was Arne's shield left from season 1-2, you know the guy with the eye patch that Rollo impaled.

At 25 seconds the shield is facing the camera and rolo hits him. The next cut shot 26 seconds the shield is facing the opposite direction and rolo is still in contact with him.

lol finding these filming mistakes.

FTFY
C'mon man, it's a magic shield, it's suppose to do that!

Best part of S4E1 was the bedroom scene. Always good when the sex toys are used.

Hmmm... inaccuracies between the show and the vikings. As far as for the battlefield, the most glaring inaccuracy is their armor, or lack-thereof. In the show, they seem to be more armored in the fashion of the Celts. The Celts were known to run screaming into battle pretty much nekid, and quite successfully as like wild berserkrs.

In the show, they are even less armored than the Romans, which were armored well in the front (girth hoops), used shields, but were nekid at the back. Vikings would wear heavy padding or if affordable (or looted) they would wear chain.

What were you intending to say here? Are the Vikings on the show are more armored than they're supposed to be? Because you go on to compare the guys on the show to the Celts and say that the Celts didn't wear armor. That would make it accurate, no? Are you saying that they're wearing less armor than they should be? Because after that, you said that they wear mostly leather and some chain if they looted it. And that's also how it's depicted in the show.

Halp.

No, they wore padding, and if available chain. Not thin leather. You know, like thick padding? In the show though, they mostly wear yes leather or nothing at all. This was something mainly the Celts did (not always), according to ancient battle accounts. And the Romans did, but only on the flank side (retreat could get you executed). You see a little armor in the show, but mainly among the leaders/main characters, while the rest mostly nekid (peasant clothing, thin leather, bare skin etc).

Quite a lot of western history wound up in it. Later, a descendant of Rollo took Jerusalem in the first crusade. But way beyond the realm of this show of course.
