 Interview with Clive Stanton about Rollo insights to read later. Could alter a few assumptions of mine.

That fellow has BRAINS on top of his body -- wow! There is one quote on there i totally need to put on tumblr for former Millimun Sal to see...

I'm about halfway through the article and think I will definitely be saving it for future reference. Big take away I have now is that Rollo is religious after all, or at least trusts in the Gods.

ETA: Oh, and details about Rollo's tattoos and their meaning!

[yakalskovich]

Unfortunately, Travis Fimmel isn't likely to give us insights like that, as he's actually that Aussie surfer dude who seems quite out of it much of the time, to judge from what I have seen in interviews. Or, to put his more charitable, his approach to acting is entirely more visceral and less research-based.

As much as I love seeing Rollo and Ragnar going back and forth, I think we need to wrap it up before my slack puts the thread too far behind bartime. = ]

Should we start threading the fight that opens season 2? That way we can maybe get it down in a timely manner?

If it's more than 'sound&fury' and does something for the characters, yes.

And yes, wrapping the OOM and posting it sounds like a good idea.-

[my_brothers_shadow]

This is very true! I do know Floki-mun expressed interest in threading which was why I mentioned it. To me all I really care about is for that bit with Rollo facing Ragnar and giving up, but I can easily do that in a POV OOM.

Once I recover from my work out, I'll put an inquiry post up in viking-ways so we three can discuss it.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Excellent idea -- we could just OOM the part with the confrontation. I re-watched it very recently; I have to look if it's still online with the channel that broadcast it, because if not, I'm out of canon AGAIN!
