I wish they would've kept it on Thursdays, I can't remember to watch it on Wednesdays.

I haven't seen any new episodes in a year and a half. Finally caught up and fixing to start S4 part 2.

And gave a full on fist pump when Lagertha told Aslaug she'd never be true Queen of Kattegat. I can't wait for that showdown.

I'm not sure how I felt about Ragnar apologizing to her.

I feel like they are wrapping up Ragnar correctly, I just hate to see him go out like this. Guy went from warrior farmer to a Master of War King, to cheating on the coolest wife ever with a horse, to doing a bunch of Opium with a meh Chinese slave, to a begger King that will not find redemption. He was one of my favorite characters early in the series and seeing him fall so far sucks.

I still think they casted absolute shite for the majority of his sons. Bjorn has always been decent and Ivar is very believable as a psychopath. Ubbe looks older the Bjorn, Hvitserk is boring, and Sigurd looks like a little prick. These sons are supposed to conquer the majority of England and they are about as physically imposing as the French King from last season. None appear able to inspire an army.

Agreed on Bjorn and Ivar. I like Ubbe though. I could see him leading, mostly because he seems fairly level headed in comparison to his brothers. The yin to Ivar's yang. I don't know that you have to be physically imposing to hold that role. I'm not a fan of the casting of the other two though.

Agree. I think they nailed casting Ivar. Bjorn fits the bill but struggles with the powerful speaking. Agree with the other little shites.

Reading Bernard Cornwell does not help Uthred fights the majority of these characters, obviously different universe, and they all are warriors with famous swords.

I liked his apology. He turned from her first.

Hahaha! That's awesome. I think we need to give them a little chance to show us what they are made of. I agree, none of them are really imposing like Bjorn or Rollo, but maybe they could be skilled and crafty with a blade like Ragnar is. Hvitserk actually looks like he's going to be a fricking warrior. The only one that really looks like a bitch to me is Sigurd Snake Eye. frick him. I can't wait for Bjorn and Hvitserk to start raiding!!

Anyone know where to find the "Athelstan's story" episode they did awhile back?
I'm curious about it, but it's not on Prime like the rest of the series.

Maybe he'll take them to Spain since it's Muslim right now and stay in good with the French.

Solid episode. How will Ivar get out of England? And why did Ubbe and his stupid brother get captured so easily? I guess pussy wins everytime.

Yeah, that was my thinking as well. Raid the Muslim territories to remain in the good graces of the the Church.
