Wait, what ? Bjorn is back ? He was just fleeing in the middle of a sandstorm, and poof now he's back.
Meaning:
- they survived the storm
- did not lose each other (though where's Sindric)
- were not chased or caught up afterwards (we still don't know why they wanted to kill them)
- were somehow able to get out of the desert back to the ships
- they were just three, so it's not even clear they used their own ships by the way, so were their other guys just waiting
- then they joined the other ships they had abandoned entering the sea
- and they get back
- without bringing anything (how does the rest of the expedition takes that ?)
That's a hell of an ellipsis ! And not clear how many months have passed. What was the point of all that then ?
Astrid's pregnant, lol, no idea who the father is. Not sure it's important anyway.
Floki's people are disappointed, well yeah, they're not high as he was.
Bjorn gets a new girl. "My son wants to sleep with your daughter", wow, I thought diplomacy was a little classier than that. Poor Torvi, though she immediately gets jumped by the brother. That's a little weird, but sure.
Ain't Alfred a little too full of himself (and as high as Floki) ?
The preparation for the war to come.
The Sámi people get's mentioned in this episode, and here it is Bjørn Ironside that gets the pleasure of the sámi woman named Snøfrid. (Not an sámi name, btw)
I love how this series is showing that history doesn’t repeat but it often rhymes. So many of the original storylines from the first few seasons are playing out again in this next generation.
Floki invents Theocratic Communism by mistake while proposing Anarchism. :weary:
Alfred lays the foundation for the Protestant Reformation.
Lots of important events here. :laughing:
How can this tv show be so boring ???
I loved it so much until S5...

Hmm, I wonder how Floki's story will go now? It seems to be getting a little complicated.
I loved Bishop Heahmund and Ivar's scenes, especially when they were getting to know each other more while playing a chess game. Then, he asks Heahmund to create a plan for him to attack Kattegat, meanwhile Lagertha and the rest are trying to predict how will Ivar initiate the attack.. Hmm, My guess is, they'll never know what is going to hit them.
Nice episode, really well written. A war is coming. Next episode will be even better, hopefully.
