Apparently if you're really soft-spoken you're obviously always high as a kite... I myself am rather quiet and low-key, and I get that people like that might not come off as the friendliest people ever, but still it doesn't mean we're stoned twenty-four-seven...
I have been playing viking since I was a little boy! thats what we do in Scandinavia! and finally we got a good and accurate show so other people in the world can learn what we learn when we are small children!
its a good show and probably the best portray of the Vikings but it is no where near accurate.. ragnar was not the 1st to sail west, floki discovered Iceland which was atleast 100years after the 1st English raid.. ivar becomes a Viking king but hows he gonna do that with so many older brothers in the show? theres a lot of Viking storys that span over 500 years they are cramming in like a 30 year period..
Coolnicknameguy Literary License. Also, most of what is known of the Vikings comes from the Sagas, written long after, and certainly not accurate. So names and persons may have been made up or incorrect. Also, there could have been more than one person with the same name, i.e son, grandson, etc.. So that history is not accurate as to which did what when. "The Vikings" show is mixing different times, and facts. From 793 AD with the first attack on Lindsfarne to the Viking siege on Paris in 845 AD (which in fact took 1 day, not the months they portrayed in the show) to the later Viking siege on Paris in (exact date I forget, in the 870's or 880's), when they were there for a long time. So the show is condensing things over 80 years into like 8 years (estimating the age of Ragnar's son in show). For dramatic effect. Ivar is the crippled baby boy who can't walk? I seem to recall that maybe he did in fact become King, not sure. It's difficult to remember every little fact.
Simon Myrvold Newfoundland. I wonder what would have happened if the Vikings had kept going south, into present day USA. But they just did not have the number of people, ships, or warriors to do that. Pretty much everyone in the settlement in Newfoundland were farmers, and they had a tough time with the local Indians. So they just decided to leave.
Wooo! Proud Ausiie! I love this show. Can't wait for Season 2. Travis isn't drunk, he's just a laid back Aussie farm boy from Echuca who hasn't let fame get to him. My daughter is apparently a descendent of Erik the Red. She's not blonde nor does she have blue eyes but she definately has a Scandinavian look about her. She looks like she could be related to the oh so beautiful Skarsgard family which is funny considering her surname is Strandgard :)
'Game of thrones is popular, do you think that paved the way for your success?' That is the dumbest question. Does he think that GoT was the first tv show that was set in the early AD?
Jacob Connell Haha I do realize that, I said it was set in early AD. As in that is the time frame when that technology existed. It's a simple film and stage term :D
+bengasm He was referring to the fact that Game of Thrones has piqued an interest across an enormous fan base for "early AD" epics, so these people may therefore be looking for shows with similar themes to satisfy this interest.
Best job on earth: Playing Ragnar in Vikings, getting to act like him in real life and don't get in troubles for it, because "it's a joke, I'm not really Raganr, remember?". Man, this deserves a major salute!
Leonard Wattimena not true at all all people who were living in the south were much richar than the people from the North cuz they had better lands to farm and were more civilised and had cityes build of stones at that time now is the opposite and Vikings have been to Greece as well they were Called Varangians learn history before trying to act Smart
For some reason,Travis looks as if he's desperatly waiting to get the hell out in every interview.Other than that,Katheryn once said that he always do pranks in set,can't imagine how he's in a social event...
that's cause hes such a stoner and just wants to get back to blazin.. I can understand this being a stoner that gets a lil anti social and unable to just sit around answering dumb questions my self..
Rin Blois I could give you the Oxford, Cambridge and Macqaurie dictionary meanings and they'd be no different. Besides i like the quote after the meaning aswell.
***** More like, Im proud of them cause of what they achieved, they made ships like no one else did and discovered a way to orientate and find out how to cross the seas. And i like the 'religion' they had. It's cool to read about. Everything they figured out and made and how well they managed to survive etc in such a harsh place as norway is pretty damn awesome. whether you like it or not :P
I am a viking and archeologist from Norway, I like Vikings! We don`t have much materials from this time, but you must remember the vikings where traders and farmers. ANd only about 1% where warriors. And the best warriors came from Rogaland in Norway where we have the three swors (Stavanger). The real vikings came from; Bergen, Jæren, Oslo, Stockholm, Kattegat, midt-Jylland (Danmark)
jacktheripper51 That is assuming that everybody on earth has english for monther tongue and it isnt the case , but fat belly english speaking people seem to think that everyone on this planet is born speaking english..... morons
Well Ragnar is the earl of Kattegat in the show.I read that he's actually the king of Sweden and Denmark,so i guess he'll become king in the second season...
i am of scandinavian descent. when i was young i travelled to foreign lands, alone, with little to no money. i had no idea where i would end up or with whom i would battle, breed, bond. i left my D.N.A. embedded within a spanish family. i have since returned to my home in the north. i tell my step-son the tales of how i acquired my battle-scars . He plays video games. I do not.
I can tell you I absolutely loves Vikings while Travis story was around. and I can tell you I would never have seen Viking had it not been for Game of Thromes
The interviewers are so annoying, they barely let Travis talk and he obviously seemed rather bored by the two guys. Especially the one being too loud and shouting all the time. Someone already said, the interviewer's not supposed to steal the show.
Its 8-9 months left. You have a lot of time to grow your Viking beard and get ripped. Eat Paleo food. That's basically what they ate. 2 full meals a day. Some healthy snacks in between. Don't forget to workout.
I was waiting for a sword fight to break out. I kind of wish it did. Although, if it did suddenly happen, it would have been awkward seeing Travis and Katheryn just sitting there watching, not knowing what to do.
I've got alot of Viking in me, my mom is as viking as it gets, descended from a Norwegian and a Swede, and my dad's Scottish and the average Scottish person is about half Viking so I'm about 3/4. Still got brown hair and eyes though so I didn't get that Aryan gene some people like so much, oh well.
Wasn’t Vikings before GOT oh no I just watched Vikings so so many years before I caught up on game thrones I watched GOT back to back I didn’t have to wait for any new season to come out , both are my fav shows after Spartacus
By the way, many vikings were also from other places in the world. Black people also appeared in the vikingarmy. To be a fullworthy viking you had to be of pure vikingblood. VI(king) means man from the fjords. Farmer`s old norwegian names can have the ending; land, vik, nes, haug, gard and gård and so on.
***** Well mister Colt, I dont know what you are talking about ? Many slaves were integrated in the army... Black or not.maybe brown. Good warriors invclude SIZE (VIKINGAGE 750.1050) And I have scripts that include black. Who cares what colour anyway ? Africa the vikings called ; blueland.
***** You are right mister Colt, the slaves were not black. And did not apear in the vikingarmy It seems thay only arabian scripts mentions that they were in Norway fullfilling viking burialseromony.
***** Let`s get this right once for all. The word viking from this age isn`t 100 % certain. Sorry about the wrintingmistakes. 1. Wic or vicus means town or tradeplace. 2. And "vike" means to leave from home and go another place. 3. Viken means man from the fjord. (Taken from the University of Bergen) Archeologists think mostly nr.3. But are not sure. People from elsewhere called them viken, and knew they were from the north. And you are wrong about arabs, they had strong cnnections in slavery and trading. This is written many places. They were also visiting Norway as I mentioned. This has nothing to do with multicultural things. The slaves were integratted in the society. We know little about this time...
lets hope there is a season 3 then...i shall hop on a ferry and come looking for Travis!!! What a shame you didn't know they was filming near to you...i would be kicking myself, lol
for people saying they are vikings in these comments, you are not vikings you are SCANDINAVIANs. Your ancestors are the ones who worshipped these gods and raided, the only raid you have gone on is probably in World of Warcraft
Token Black nobody knew shit about the Mediterranean when the Greeks (and, in fairness, also the Phoenicians) explored it. so they were totally "real navigators."
well ,not been raiding :) but the culture is very much alive in Denmark,Norway and Sweden!! obviously we cant walk around with our axes hanging by our side,but that dosnt mean we are not here!!
Why do they keep comparing to GOT!?! Dumb. Two different type of shows...love them both but WAY different. Historical vs mystical/fictitious lands and people. Ugh.
Mandatory 30 second ad, mandatory thumbs down! IGN do you realize we can see, better, longer videos with cast members elsewhere without the need to milk our time for ad revenue.
Travis is so cool. It seems like he don't want so much credit. He seems so down to earth kinda person. He is just awesome!
Travis and Katheryn are so good together! She totally balances him. Can they just get together already?!
I love the chemistry between these two actors on the show,without them i wouldnt be watching the show!
Apparently if you're really soft-spoken you're obviously always high as a kite... I myself am rather quiet and low-key, and I get that people like that might not come off as the friendliest people ever, but still it doesn't mean we're stoned twenty-four-seven...
Tiffany Maxwell well said and agreed
I love it hes so lowkey and quiet masculine and shes like highkey just pure feminine its like perfect roles right here man
you're a true observer !
GREG: Travis how old are you?
TRAVIS: Katheyrn??
HAHA! Basically.
so cute😂😂😂😂
I have been playing viking since I was a little boy! thats what we do in Scandinavia! and finally we got a good and accurate show so other people in the world can learn what we learn when we are small children!

No a guy called Erik did, it was hes son that discoverd Vineland or America
Ricco Impostore you told me Im mistaken and then just reworded every thing I said for the most part...

Both are great! I love her, she is rly beautiful and charismatic!
Katheryn is freaking BEAUTIFUL!!! HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!! :O
Love this show. Each character brings something great to the series.
I think he's got some social anxiety but so do many other successfull actors.Excellent mini series!!
Katheryn currently one of the most beautiful women in the World nice, intelligent, wonderful
Слава Перун so true
Such bull nonsense! 😂😂

The guy with the glasses never been in a fight in his life.
Josh Mendoza im sure he did but all of them ended up him on the ground bruised up
travis always seems to be high or stoned but it just makes me love him even more
😮😅
Vikings: Katheryn Winnick Interview
lol they werent interviewing travis, they were interviewing Ragnar
'Game of thrones is popular, do you think that paved the way for your success?'
That is the dumbest question. Does he think that GoT was the first tv show that was set in the early AD?
Early AD? Game of Thrones isn't real...
Jacob Connell Haha I do realize that, I said it was set in early AD. As in that is the time frame when that technology existed. It's a simple film and stage term :D
No no no no
+bengasm He was referring to the fact that Game of Thrones has piqued an interest across an enormous fan base for "early AD" epics, so these people may therefore be looking for shows with similar themes to satisfy this interest.
Katheryn should play Carol Danvers (Ms Marvel) in the next avengers movie
No......She-Hulk....
Yes, Larson Brie shouldn't have been chosen..
I love their chemistry!
Best job on earth: Playing Ragnar in Vikings, getting to act like him in real life and don't get in troubles for it, because "it's a joke, I'm not really Raganr, remember?". Man, this deserves a major salute!
I hope Katheryn Winnick gets casted as Captain Marvel
They don't get the American hero's role for Belarusian woman
Ragnar should have slayed them geeks
They would not have been interested in going anywhere near Greece.
Medieval Greece was poorer than Scandinavia probably
Leonard Wattimena not true at all all people who were living in the south were much richar than the people from the North cuz they had better lands to farm and were more civilised and had cityes build of stones at that time now is the opposite and Vikings have been to Greece as well they were Called Varangians learn history before trying to act Smart
@regnar6000 LOL
Glasses guy was way over the top. As an interviewer make your guests the star of the interview, don't try so hard to show everyone up.
that's the problem with a lot of new interviewers these days, they don't show proper respect and are too full of themselves
Love this show! Just love it.
Such a soft spoken man Travis.
Love this show!
For some reason,Travis looks as if he's desperatly waiting to get the hell out in every interview.Other than that,Katheryn once said that he always do pranks in set,can't imagine how he's in a social event...
that's cause hes such a stoner and just wants to get back to blazin.. I can understand this being a stoner that gets a lil anti social and unable to just sit around answering dumb questions my self..
Love this show.
Travis: "And this is exactly why the Vikings kicked your English asses....."
Thank you Captain
GamerDares wins Its called SLANG ASSCLOWN. ALL languages utilize slang. Get over yourself and deflate your ego douche.
GamerDares wins You seriously just referenced an Urban Dictionary definition?
Rin Blois I could give you the Oxford, Cambridge and Macqaurie dictionary meanings and they'd be no different.
Besides i like the quote after the meaning aswell.
The English descended from the vikings and Saxons, fool.
I love this show so much :D
Proud to be from norway :D
how come?
***** Cause of my ancestors, The fken vikings m7 + 1
+NorseWarriorFromNorway You're proud of a bunch of rapist's and killers, well thats nice
***** More like, Im proud of them cause of what they achieved, they made ships like no one else did and discovered a way to orientate and find out how to cross the seas. And i like the 'religion' they had. It's cool to read about. Everything they figured out and made and how well they managed to survive etc in such a harsh place as norway is pretty damn awesome. whether you like it or not :P
NorseWarriorFromNorway At de var dyktige skipsbyggere er det ingen tvil om, syns ennå de var barbarer hele gjengen...
At the start when she says 'I'll kill you' she really could. She's a really formidable martial arts fighter in real life,
I am a viking and archeologist from Norway, I like Vikings! We don`t have much materials from this time, but you must remember the vikings where traders and farmers. ANd only about 1% where warriors.

indeed Vikings were great trader/merchant many of their trading post are now in our modern days some of the largest cities of europe.
If you were a real archeologist, you'd know when to use 'were' and 'where'
jacktheripper51 That is assuming that everybody on earth has english for monther tongue and it isnt the case , but fat belly english speaking people seem to think that everyone on this planet is born speaking english..... morons
jacktheripper51 depends how many gallons of beers you had
Well Ragnar is the earl of Kattegat in the show.I read that he's actually the king of Sweden and Denmark,so i guess he'll become king in the second season...
I love Vikings. Rly good show
He seems to always be in character on interviews...
vikings just rock, loved the first season
How about getting some proper audio equipment rather than all the flashy, useless backdrops?
I'm from the Viking side of Denmark... So i Grow Up with Vikings Stories. So i want to see this Series :D
i am of scandinavian descent. when i was young i travelled to foreign lands, alone, with little to no money. i had no idea where i would end up or with whom i would battle, breed, bond. i left my D.N.A. embedded within a spanish family. i have since returned to my home in the north. i tell my step-son the tales of how i acquired my battle-scars . He plays video games. I do not.
Do you have the feeling that the hosts are the ONLY two on the planet sans Viking blood?
Our king now and ever
i loved the first season
I can tell you I absolutely loves Vikings while Travis story was around. and I can tell you I would never have seen Viking had it not been for Game of Thromes
Can Travis ever be any more low key?
So mellow and chill
stoned and alone
The interviewers are so annoying, they barely let Travis talk and he obviously seemed rather bored by the two guys. Especially the one being too loud and shouting all the time. Someone already said, the interviewer's not supposed to steal the show.
I now this since I'm from Scandinavia and we study viking history in school.
That's my type of phone in the back of Travis Fines head! :D
Its 8-9 months left. You have a lot of time to grow your Viking beard and get ripped. Eat Paleo food. That's basically what they ate. 2 full meals a day. Some healthy snacks in between. Don't forget to workout.

they should make a series about the jewish rebellion against rome
Judas Maccabeus was a true hero
Idan Zigel Pretty sure there was a series some years ago called Masada.
yes like they said in the interview, haent been that long if he had cut it after season 1
Ign with the ads love it
why does Travis look Scarry in real life 😂😂😂
I'm from barbarian origin and I love this show
I WANT THAT HAIRSTYLE
The Vikings/Norse people wrote in runes on wood and sometimes stone.
2:16 and having... (watch travis face :D)
I've got alot of Viking in me, my mom is as viking as it gets, descended from a Norwegian and a Swede, and my dad's Scottish and the average Scottish person is about half Viking so I'm about 3/4. Still got brown hair and eyes though so I didn't get that Aryan gene some people like so much, oh well.
He is either very stoned or very drunk -- can't tell. She is delicious -- smart, sassy, and drop dead gorgeous.

gawd i love them
I like how Travis keeps the beard and the hair. But I guess he's on his way back to filming season 2?
Taylor Kitsch and Travis Fimmel are twins.
Fantasy show ha ha. she destroyed him when she said that. Good on her! and what a stupid comparison.
Love viking history
a lot of vikings was filmed 5 mins from where i live, and i knew nothing about it.
lol, and where is that then so i can get over there for season 3!!!!!!
the opening fight from season 2 ep 1 was filmed in a place called conary in an old mining area, its in county wicklow, republic of ireland.
lets hope there is a season 3 then...i shall hop on a ferry and come looking for Travis!!! What a shame you didn't know they was filming near to you...i would be kicking myself, lol
DL551 I'm Australian but have cousins in wicklow. My grandparents are from there.
Where you live??
What's the name for the intro song of this interview show guys please
Katheryn is sooo damn naturally beautiful!!!
They've already filmed season 2, atleast some of it.
for people saying they are vikings in these comments, you are not vikings you are SCANDINAVIANs. Your ancestors are the ones who worshipped these gods and raided, the only raid you have gone on is probably in World of Warcraft
Kathryn Winnick beautiful.
He's so shy!
He's just bored.
Lynora Aeon
yep, rather. i was expecting more from th e interviewers
march next year is the premiere a whole year
10:30 describes all this interview
That beard is EPIC!
You're the best
Most awkward interview ever -_- they don't even watch the show...
we need more diversity on Vikings, why aren't there any black vikings?
***** Are you fucking serious with this question?
hahahaha
***** because black vikings are not real...just like unicorns
nniikunz are you a Viking?
Where is Gustaf skarsgård or Skarsgard?
"They were the first navigators." Umm, no. The Greeks colonized the Mediterranean 1,500 years before the Vikings became explorers.
She meant real navigators, they crossed the ocean into the Americas 1500 years before Columbus..
Token Black
nobody knew shit about the Mediterranean when the Greeks (and, in fairness, also the Phoenicians) explored it. so they were totally "real navigators."
The Mediterranean is a pond! Boo Greeks!
Michael Harder
A "pond" that still kills tons of people every year with its storms.
Let us talk about the Polynesians, please. The Vikings sailed by dead reckoning.
SPOILER King Aelle captures ragnar in the end and throws him into a pit of snakes
as i live and breath, the pride of longisland Greg´s tvless, internet savy mother!
omg her name is katerena anna vinitska
Fix the audio IGN!
Travis works on 2 levels. drunk or high
No entendí Nada pero vi el video solo para ver a Katheryn *.* ♥ ♥ ♥
well ,not been raiding :) but the culture is very much alive in Denmark,Norway and Sweden!! obviously we cant walk around with our axes hanging by our side,but that dosnt mean we are not here!!
If I were Travis i would keep this look for ever :-D or at least the beard
They would have some idea of when they are gonna die. It's not like it is a completely new story or anything...
That's also my first impression lol.
Why do they keep comparing to GOT!?! Dumb. Two different type of shows...love them both but WAY different. Historical vs mystical/fictitious lands and people. Ugh.
My ancestors are awesome only if the Viking age was still going I would Carrey an axe with me were ever I go
I felt like Travis was in character and he saw IGN as the English lol
i think travis actually enjoys the history of the vikings, and these dumb fan boys want to talk about cool outfits and muscles
Mandatory 30 second ad, mandatory thumbs down! IGN do you realize we can see, better, longer videos with cast members elsewhere without the need to milk our time for ad revenue.
Makeup and no makeup she still smoking hot and the show too
Katherynn Winnick most beautiful woman in this world.
that was cool
