Hmm, never considered Rollo was Robert I - historically inaccurate but makes for a good story. Ragnar's only son so far, Bjorn - his name doesn't match the mythical accounts. So we'll see where this goes. |

Whats wrong with Ragnar's current son? I can see that they would like to have another boy, but they constantly talk about it like the elder son does not exist and everything rides on having another boy. The more sons he has the more his reputation will increase among the people. So, the more the merrier It's also a brutal time. Bjorn could catch a cold and die tomorrow. Two is one and one is none. Also, more sons means his line is assured and could produce advantageous marriages. |

So we'll see where this goes. Rollo Bjorn Rollo - Robert I, who is fairly well historically documented, isn't Ragnars brother - at least not historically. Interesting if this is where the writers take it. Bjorn Ironsides, as with Ragnar, primarily legendary, is attributed with a wealth of accomplishments - but none centered in England. I'd recalled Bjorn and Hastein were adopted - Ivar and Hubba (the mythical leaders of the Great Danish Army) who legend claims invaded England to avenge Ragnar were natural. That along with extrapolating the plot with Bjorn continuing to center on Northumbria/England doesnt seem to fit the Sagas. But seems from separate sources from Wikipedia, all of the sons, including Halfdane, were variously claimed to be adopted or natural - a point I didnt recall. But this could go anywhere - its a good story based on a finely constructed legend. |

Quoted: It sucks they killed off the most badass guys already. Floki I think is the most dangerous guy in the series. Smart as shit and not quite all there with a side of ruthless badass. Agreed on both counts. Floki definitely has a few screws loose, he wears his battle makeup every day, regardless if he's in battle or not, he's a master craftsman/builder, he slays the enemy, and he has zero fucks to give. Definitely bummed Leif was sacrificed. His character seemed quite genuine; very human of him to guide the priest whilst he was inebriated. |

If you have them whacking guys with their swords each episode you then have zero plot. They have to have some plotting and tragedy to go along with raiding and fighting.
Not my favorite episode but necessary for plot development and to make the fight scenes something other than common and expected. A year is too fucking long to wait on this.

Does anyone else think Ragnar planned with Rollo to join the other earl, as some sort of inside source for the upcoming battle against the king? There was a hesitation by Ragnar when he decided who, out of his men, would stay when they went to visit the tree. It seemed odd. It would make sense seeing as though Rollo ultimately sided with Ragnar against the other earl he killed, even though he verbally said he would support him. I think Rollo will go against Ragnar eventually, but the bond they have as brothers is still strong.
On a positive note, at least the finale set us up for an epic battle to start off the new season. Which seems like forever from now. |

Interesting how that Jarl was talking about the sickness and poisoning, while the sickness was going on back home. I bet Rollo is going to find it easier to blame his brother for his woman's daughter's death after that conversation. I also got the feeling that Ragnar wanted to side with the Jarl instead of the king, and Floki understood what the king was saying about the spider web and the trap. I'm willing to bet the Jarl and the King are working together to test the loyalty of Ragnar and eventually kill him. Wouldn't that be something? Either way, I'm highly pissed Gita is gone.

There's something trapped inside it, the spider then attacks it while it's trapped in the web. |

Quoted: Why go through the motions of negotiating then if he just wants to go to war? I think more than anything, he wants Ragnar to handle it if he can, and if war breaks out, so be it. Ragnar pledged his allegiance and he wants to see it through since Ragnar is a legend at this point and the situation couldn't get much worse. In return, the King would give Ragnar more men to go invade France. Quoted: I'm willing to bet the Jarl and the King are working together to test the loyalty of Ragnar and eventually kill him. Wouldn't that be something? Interesting theory. I don't know where Ragnar would get the manpower to take both of them and their armies down though. |

The King wasn't sacraficing any of his men at the festival. Ragnar is banging some hot women. |
