1/ Finally finished Season Six of Vikings. The second half of the season was better than the first half. On whole I thought the series did a nice job of mapping real-world history onto its characters. #Vikings
2/ Over 200 years of history and legends were compressed into two generations. That's entirely forgivable as it is not meant to be a documentary. #Vikings
3/ Like all historical fiction, if the series gets people more interested in history in addition to being entertaining, then that's a good thing. #Vikings
4/ "I see it as a catalyst to engage the wider public in a conversation about archaeology and history...we can use popular culture as a touchpoint to talk with the public about the science and history behind the series." #Vikings livescience.com/27997-viking-o…
5/ I felt much the same way about Hamilton. I did not particularly like it, and I thought it presented an entirely inaccurate message about Alexander Hamilton's politics, but to the extent that it became a teacher tool, it was a good thing. #Vikings #Hamilton
