I know, I know bit dammit I'm too attracted to him to hate him for it. And maybe it's yet another of Ragnar's long games where it's all part of the plan to be revealed later?

Also: Do. Not. Mess. With. Lagertha. How have the men of Hedeby not learned that yet?

(Yeah, I've never written fanfic before but I do have this Rollo/Bjorn thing in my head ever since that scene where they practiced fighting each other shirtless....)

Good job, Rollo, you killed the people who a) understand anything you say and b) were your power base. Surely the French will take you seriously now!

I am peeved for Bjorn's sake that he endlessly tries to do the right thing like some kind of Viking paladin and is always smacked down for it. Quit chasing Ragnar's approval, Bjorn, because your dad is a jerk.

(also I will fight you for lagertha's attentions in valhalla, pb, although I suspect you are sneaky enough to win)

Seriously, I'm kind of confused by his decision to kill all of them. Maybe the half that didn't care for his current leadership decisions, but the other half? That just doesn't make much sense other than we needed another scene of vikings being wiped out by crossbows. Which, ironically, did not save the Franks from being defeated by the Vikings. Go figure.

Ah, Bjorn, you'll get your saga, don't worry.

Floki, I wanted to dump water on him for what he did to Aethelstan, but I can't help but always feel bad for him.

I miss young Ragnar.

My favorite thing in this episode was realizing that Ragnar's son Ubbe must be the same character as Ubba on The Last Kingdom.
