I hope they don't kill ragnar off this season but if they do it could be interesting if his son takes over

If the series follow historical guidelines, after Ragnar dies, Bjorn and Ivar (the boneless) will begin their rise to power. While Ivar was weak physically, he was supposed to be a very capable military leader, both tactically and strategically.
Floki is fooked. The seer implied that a woman will rule Kattigat after Ragnar. Lagertha? Or Princess Aslaug? I think the 20 episodes are to be split into two segments, with several weeks between them, giving Bjorn and Ivar enough years to mature into competent leaders. It's going to be an interesting season. |

i was disappointed, but it makes sense. at a personal level, he wants to break with his past completely and establish himself as his own man. at a political level, this proves something to his new people. and at a strategic level, he had no way of predicting what his camp would do when ragnar showed back up. wiping out the camp controls that variable. so from a purely instrumental point of view, the decision had a lot going for it. and remember, this is a guy who tried to kill his own brother several times, so self-interest runs pretty strong in the guy.

*******SPOILER ALERT******* Why did Rollo have the whole camp killed? If half were on his side, why not have them declare sides and just kill half? I guess he thought the half loyal to him would not remain loyal after seeing their brothers killed? i was disappointed, but it makes sense. at a personal level, he wants to break with his past completely and establish himself as his own man. at a political level, this proves something to his new people. and at a strategic level, he had no way of predicting what his camp would do when ragnar showed back up. wiping out the camp controls that variable. so from a purely instrumental point of view, the decision had a lot going for it. and remember, this is a guy who tried to kill his own brother several times, so self-interest runs pretty strong in the guy. Heres my take on it... Perhaps ( Im hoping this is the case) Rolo decided that since half we willing to betray Ragnar, it would only be a matter of time before the whole lot decided too.. By killing them off he assured that none of them will fight against Ragnar, thus weakening paris even more

Floki is paying big time for killing Athelstan, but Ragnar is showing compassion for Floki's wife and kid. There seemed to be some bonding going on. Could get interesting, as Ragnar is getting kind of pissed at Aslaug. He's developing a darker side, too. Looks like they're prepping the viewers so they won't be so pissed off when he winds up in King Aelle's snake pit.
Things are getting froggy in Mercia. The Nympho queen fights almost as viciously as Lagertha. It would seem King Eckbert is setting up his son to get knocked off in battle. He's sure taking a liking to his daughter-in-law. It'll be interesting to see what happens the next time Ragnar tries to invade Paris. Rollo isn't as dumb as he looks |

I thought the best part of the last episode was the fight between Eckbert's son and the dude with the key at the base of the tour. No typical TV BS, Kung Fu kicks or anything. Just a brutal fists, knees, and elbows brawl. And Queen Crazy was having a pretty good one herself upstairs.

Like the previous episode, this one is establishing the groundwork for many things to come
Given that Bjorn was still half-drunk from the keg of mead he found, his attacking the bear definitely falls into the it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time category. He's lucky he didn't wind up in a pile of bear poop instead of the other way around. He's getting tougher and smarter. The Beserker that has been sent to kill him is not going to have things go the way he thinks they will. It should be one Hell of a fight. As predicted, Athelstan will make cameo appearances from time to time. Nice plot twist that he is the one responsible for Ragnar freeing Floki. Things are getting interesting in Wessex. King Eckbert is banging his daughter-in-law while his son humps the nympho Queen. Al bets are off since Eckbert and DIL now know that Athelstan is dead. Rollo has the desire to rule, but lacks the patience and cunning. Strong in tactics but weak in strategy, he has a long way to go if he's to acquire the position history dictates. |

Didn't he say that in last week's episode and it was shown as a flashback at the intro to this week's program? My impression was that he was going to let Floki die, then look after Helga himself, but Athelstan's appearance repeating "mercy" convinced him to free Floki.

To me, it sounded he said "He's suffered enough" after Helga asked him what he was going to do. Based on her facial expressions, I'm sure she thought Ragnar brought the axe to kill Floki.

I went back and watched it with the closed caption turned on. Ragnar said, "You've suffered enough, Helga". Floki may still be on his shit list. With CC on, some background conversations that are barely audible are brought out. When Ragnar was telling his kids about Thor and the "the boatman", there was a background conversation with some of the Vikings arguing whether or not the ship's sails would have to be replace for the spring raids. It brings out a lot of the dialog that is partially covered by background noise, too. Quoted:

I don't know what was in that keg Bjorn found, but it had to be good stuff to have him howling at the Aurora. Nice Auroral display, too. Wished they'd have shown more of it. The scene of Athelstan washing Ragnar's feet could have some interesting implications for future episodes. |

Ragnar didn't want to punish Floki that much, because he scolded Bjorn for arresting Floki and basically said that it put him in a position to where he had to do something to Floki. Yes, he has been pissed off at Floki, but I don't think that he wanted to take things that far. And I also took the foot washing scene as something profound. It goes back to the part in the Gospels where Jesus washed his Desciples' feet, so the act holds significance in Christianity. It also shows that Athelstan and his faith still has an influence on Ragnar. |

True. Last season, after Ragnar had buried Athelstan, he asked forgiveness not for what he had done, but for what he was about to do -- I'm assuming to pose as a Christian in order to get into Paris.

I guess by "resolved," I meant they should write his character off, either by death or banishment. I hate how they've painted themselves into a corner like this because those are the only two outcomes for the story not to suck. Floki's character HAS to go away. Sucks too because I always liked him. |

Ragnars a Christian now that's why Valhalla is closed to him. He was baptized to be with Athelstan in death but he still used the baptismal to gain entrance into Paris - Ragnar is clearly playing chess and not checkers.
Like Christ washed the Apostles feet first as he had to, Athelstan gave Ragnar a true blessing that would allow him to bless others. Ecbert was shown the sign of the cross but not because his actions were being blessed. Ragnar showed Mercy to Helga, Floki simply benefited from the mercy. The fight to get into the castle last week was a great sequence. |
