Battle Royal and Katheryn Winnick: VIKINGS [S2E1]
Officially one of my favorite shows at the moment. Fantastic opening theme.
Usually actors mugging around - outside of comedy genre and Asian cinema - pisses me off. William Shatner and Robert De Niro of recent years are masters at irritating me. But Travis Fimmel is doing it just right. He reminds me of Asian actors from Chinese and Indian flicks. It's more of a cultural thing. You rarely see it in Japanese and Korean performers whose expressions mostly dictated by speech pattern and reactions just like their Western counterparts. The great Chow Yuen-Fatt does it so well, balancing between comedic and drama. Gong Li is opposite but still is plenty effective. One of my favorites from the past was underrated Alex Man Chi Leung.
Needless to add, the Indian artistes are kings of all kinds of expressions. Some unintentionally comical, other times beautifully conveyed. Madhuri Dixit in of her incredible dance routines. Holy crap! You just want to titty-fuck those melons every time she shakes 'em and give you 'that' look. There is also an actor - nicknamed Indian Marlon Brando - I was fortunate to watch on the telly when I was in India some years ago. The dude was fabulous in an old classic. If there is no pussy to eat, I mostly tune in to the idiot box.
Yes, I tend to digress a lot from the main subject......: )
It's no wonder with the success of The Walking Dead and to a certain degree Vikings, nearly all basic cablers are entering the world of scripted shows.
