On TV Tonight, Thursday, 02/27/14: Vikings, The Red Road and More

Community – 8pm NBC
Mr. Hickey and Abed are hanging out this week. My excitement level for this event is just this side of disturbing. Jonathan Banks has been owning his Community role this season and with Troy gone, Abed needs a new buddy to interact with, so why not make it a curmudgeonly, awesome one?

Vikings – 9pm History
The battle scene at the beginning of Vikings season two is epic. I know that word is overused, but nothing else can describe it. Even the emotional impact of watching two brothers fight for opposing sides is enthralling. Season one was good, but season two of Vikings might end up being great. Don’t miss out on the beginning, you will definitely regret it if you do.

The Red Road – 9pm SundanceTV
New Sundance series alert. The network has a stellar track record so far, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the new Jason Momoa-led series The Red Road can live up to Rectify and Top of the Lake.
