About VIKINGS

VIKINGS tells the extraordinary tales of the lives and epic adventures of these warriors. The drama portrays the world of these Dark Age raiders, traders, explorers – not from an outsider’s view, but, through the eyes of Viking society. VIKINGS centers on Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a restless young warrior and family man who longs to find and conquer new lands across the sea and claim the spoils as his own.

Travis Fimmel (Warcraft) continues to lead the stellar cast as Ragnar, along with Katheryn Winnick as Lagertha, an Earl and fierce shield maiden; Clive Standen as Rollo, Ragnar’s impulsive brother; Alexander Ludwig as Bjorn, the intelligent and bold warrior son of Ragnar; George Blagden as Athelstan, a young and not-so-innocent monk; Jessalyn Gilsig as Siggy, beautiful wife of the late Earl Haraldson; Linus Roache as Ecbert, King of Wessex, a man of strength, knowledge and undisguised ambition; Gustaf Skarsgard as Floki, a ship builder who designs the new generation of Vikings ships and Alyssa Sutherland as Princess Aslaug, Ragnar’s new wife.

Joining the cast for season three are Lothaire Bluteau (The Tudors) as Emperor Charles of France, a powerful man who views battling the Vikings as spiritual and earthly; Kevin Durand (The Strain) as The Wanderer, a mysterious man who is not what he seems; and Morgane Polanski (The Ghost) as Princess Gisla, the elegant, self-possessed daughter of Emperor Charles and his most trusted advisor and Ben Robson (Dracula: The Dark Prince) as Kalf, Lagertha’s trusted second in command

VIKINGS is created and written by Michael Hirst – one of the premier historical story-tellers in the industry (Academy-Award winning film Elizabeth; and the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series The Tudors).

HISTORY® has picked up a 10-episode third season of VIKINGS. Season three is currently in production in Ireland and is slated to return in 2015.

QMx Will Have A Full Scale TARDIS Replica At SDCC, And You Can Get Your Picture Taken With It.

Geek Girl Diva — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 16:33:00 +0000

I almost got myself in trouble over the news yesterday, because I sorta tweeted as soon as I heard (and I have this habit of being all squee and no sanity ::grin:: ) however, I now have pictures so I’m glad I waited a bit.

These are preview pictures of the TARDIS replica that’ll be at the QMx booth during SDCC. If you’re wondering, yeah, it’s to scale. Gorgeous, 9 foot tall, real wood, blue epic scale.

And, yeah, you’ll be able to get a picture coming out of it. ;-)

So, dress up, bring your sonics and your best Amy Pond cosplay, because QMx is bringing a TARDIS to booth 2944 at SDCC.

Entertainment Earth’a newest SDCC exclusive has been announced ;-)

Details are available at Entertainment Earth.

A quick SDCC update.

Geek Girl Diva — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:27:00 +0000

I know it’s okay for people to take a while to post SDCC stuff, and I’m really glad of that because I’m still recovering from the con crud.

However, I want to take a moment to give a mad shout out to Entertainment Earth.

We had 5 days of awesome at SDCC. Signings, exclusives, loads of people and product everywhere. It was madness, but it was controlled madness. ;-)

I have pics still to post, but for now, I’ll just say…

Thanks Entertainment Earth for giving me a killer 5 days of work and play.

For those of you who came by the EE both for the signings or to buy stuff, or even just to get a look at the new stuff, I hope you’ll take a second to let me know what YOU thought of your time at the booth.

Comic-Con: Bonnie Burton’s Secret to Surviving Comic-Con is a lifrsaver!

Geek Girl Diva — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:56:00 +0000

Lucasfilm’s Bonnie Burton (@bonniegrrl & @starwars) is one of my most favorite people.

Not only does she keep me in the loop on all things Star Wars so I can stay up to date for my job at Entertainment Earth, but she’s also utterly hilarious.

Geek To Me from Red Eye Chicago caught up with her at SDCC and this handy guide resulted.

My fave line? “If you ever want to know where the good shade is, just follow the Goths.”

And I’d definitely suggest checking out the other vids RedEyeGeekToMe posted. There’s a Bruce Campbell vid. Bruce is always win.

My SDCC Schedule, in a nutshell ;-)

Geek Girl Diva — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:35:00 +0000

Okay, if you’re looking for me at Comic Con, I’m liable to be in these few places.

1) Most of the time I’ll be workin’ at the Entertainment Earth Booth #2343. Between the signings and all the stuff we’ve got going on, I’ll have lots to do — but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop by and say ;-)

2) Thursday, July 22 5:30-6:30 I’ll be here.

Geek Girls Exist— Really? Kristin Rielly (Geek Girls Network) leads a discussion about growing up geek, turning passions into careers, and who shot first. Representing the many awesome aspects of the geek culture, panelists Morgan Romine (The Frag Dolls), Bonnie Burton (The Star Wars Craft Book), Marian Call (singer/songwriter), Sarah Kuhn (One Con Glory), Jill Pantozzi (Has Boobs Reads Comics blog), Veronica Belmont (Qore), Kari Byron (MythBusters), and Kiala Kazebee (GeekWeek.com) school you on what it means to be a real geeky girl and even make you LOL IRL. Room 8

3) Friday, July 23rd from 8pm till whenever?

I’ll be at the Geek Girls and Friends tweet up at Jolt n Joes. ::grin:: Likely with a drink. So feel free to come by and bring a camera.

4) ~~I’m supposed to go home Saturday unless I find a place to sleep~~. I’m staying Saturday night and, as far as I can tell, no plans yet. But, yay!

That’s pretty much it. If I’m not in those 3 places I’m either a) sleeping, b) eating 3) in the bathroom or d) drunk and passed out. And, really, I’m not real entertaining at those times, so you don’t need to hang out with me during ;-)

Y’see this?

This is the lovely @amy_geek and she wrote today that I inspired her SDCC costume.

Whatyouspake?

Well, back in May of last year, I wrote a blog post about how I kissed a girl…

…and now this young lady is planning her Han Solo costume.

Between this, the Geek Girls Exist Panel and the Geek Girls and friend’s tweet up I may be in serious girl crush trouble. Not to mention, I want that blaster in a bad way.

(Oh…if you click the piccy, you’ll get a bigger version,. You know you wanna)

I’ll be in my bunk.
