The History Channel’s Vikings returns for its 4th season in early 2016, but fear not Ragnar fans! Chronicle Books has released a gorgeous companion book to the hit series, The World of Vikings by Justin Pollard. Including a foreword (and afterword) by show creator Michael Hirst, this 160-page beauty has incredible photographs from all three seasons, and combines the history with the fiction behind this popular world.

The Vikings Season 4 trailer debuted at San Diego Comic-Con today and I am psyched! The History Channel saga recounts the fictionalized life of real life Viking, Ragnar Lothbrok. Our Ragnar, played by Travis Fimmel, has had quite a ride the last 3 seasons. Last season, he lost his best friend Athelstan (George Blagden), and it looked like he toyed with the killer Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard). However…

I miss Vikings. I do. I can’t help it. I’m just so glad that The History Channel still emails me fun web exclusives once a week, so that I still get a taste of my favorite Northmen. The 1st video gives us the “10 Signs You’re Viking,” the 2nd reveals how the cast feels they relate to their characters, the 3rd shows the cast’s favorite scenes from season 3, and the 4th video highlights the strong women of Vikings.

Before the Vikings 3.9 “Breaking Point” review, let’s recap last week. Some spoilers! Watch the episode before you read past the recap.

Last week’s “To The Gates” episode was action-packed pretty much throughout, with most of it taken up with the big attack and battle. I swear I almost had a heart attack and texted my editor that they killed another character off, when I saw Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) with that blank corpse stare. And then I had to text “My bad!” when he wasn’t. THEN, I thought Rollo (Clive Standen) died and I was set to quit the show. And THEN I thought Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard) died by fire, and I was ok with that, but I was wrong about that, too. I couldn’t even really write about it last week, because that would be giving everything away. I needed a drink after that episode.
