I think Vikings in King currently, with season 3 looking to be the best thing on TV possibly ever. I think the acting is on par with the other shows, but the story really shines for me. Season 1 was a bit slow(meet the characters) but 2 really started moving. The battles seem really well done, and Ragnar is a total badass. Rollo is coming full circle now too. Floki is an amazing character and l think a lot of women like legertha.

Love em all, but definitely 10X more excited for season 3 than I am for season 5 of GoT or the current season of walking dead. I think the Viking era is way more interesting that the really unrealistic zombie settings. And GoT has a bit too much fantasy for my tastes, I liked the faceless man who helps arya(Cant remember his name)

If any of the Euro guys haven't seen Vikings you definitely should. Honorable mention to Turn as well, I think its under rated.

I absolutely hate Vikings. Shit is beyond stupid and boring. Way too much slow motion homo moments as well. I couldn't tell if that dude was giving him a blood eagle or bfing him. My friend is obsessed with it and always trys to get me to watch it. There hasn't been one part I've watched that made me want to continue.

Game of thrones is a 9/10

The walking dead and Vikings are like 5/10.
 
Game of Thrones >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else.
 
GoT
Vikings
TWD

In that order for me.

GoT has such a diverse and deep world with a lot of great characters. I've no idea what to expect from every episode.

Vikings is great too, but it's scale is a lot smaller obviously. I love the battle scenes, they are really well done. Characters are badass too. Great casting.

TWD is hit or miss for me. Some episodes are epic, but most are a bit meh. Don't like most of the characters anymore either. Rick is still a boss though. I just watch it out of habit for the most part. Got nothing else to watch.

GoT has worst moments, like when the blonde guy(Daenearys brother) was in the tub with the slave girl talking about dragons, just to kill him a couple episodes later. There was literally zero point to that scene except to name a few dead dragons and make some slave girl feel bad.

most pointless 10 minutes ever.

I don't remember Vikings having many slo-mo's outside a couple in battles. but I think it was usually to let the viewer to gain perspective on the momentum of the general fight.
 
GoT is great.
I've never seen Vikings.
TWD is absolute shit compared to the comic.
 
Game of Thrones is way better than The Walking Dead. Can't wait for the next series of GoT- haven't bothered watching TWD for about a year.

Not seen Vikings.

Huh?

It was to show that his lineage to the throne was valid but his current delusions to reclaim his birthright far exceeded his capabilities. It was also to show how much of a prick he was.

All of it is following the story arcs of the book - you have 10 episodes a Season to condense a dynamic book made of of 1000's pages. Some of it is going to seem rush but that was not pointless.

Having the battle of blackwater only be 1 episode long however definitely took away from just how incredible that battle scene was depicted in the books.

I think everyone knew he was a D-bag and I don't think the families lineage was ever questioned by any viewer, if it was a throwback for the book it was a bad one. It could easily have been answered later in the season by Daenerys in the final episode and of course drogo killing him.


I haven't read the books, I might. I like Bernard Cornwells the winter king series so I might read to compare them as its currently by fav book series.
 
GoT is no. 1. Havent seen vikings but like twd so... it guess that completes my order.
 
Vikings deserves some points for not being an adaptation of a book or a comic (and it's too far away for history), but I was a bit annoyed that they overuse the same shitty twist with false betrayals.
 
GoT>Vikings>TWD

Floki and King Horric? I think Floki honestly was debating it for a while, sort of a bi-polar moment.
 
Vikings since I've only watched a few episodes of TWD and I dont watch GOT (only read the books). It wins by default for me.
