Ragnar Lothbrok is my favorite character on TV currently.

I don't think this season (so far) has been as good as the previous ones.
I did enjoy Ragnar telling the prince he didn't like him. Ragnar is a great character, they haven't been spending enough time with him this season.
Bjorn's woman got really messed up. I was cringing during that scene where she didn't have the bandages on.

That was good too. Gotta believe she and Ragnar are trying to play a long con here, maybe Athelstan is in on it too.

been saying it all season - if you weigh 80 pounds you really shouldn't be a shield-maiden.The show's got way too many story lines going on this year. At least we have one less with Rollo's wife sinking to the bottom of the lake.

I agree with the story lines. The show doesn't have the writing or the acting to maintain them all.

Also wasn't sure if she peed on him or smeared the special salve all over the wound?bicycle_seat_sniffer said:

I doubt there was any smearing. I don't imagine the women of the Middle Ages did all that much grooming in the nether regions. So any type of smearing there would have probably felt like a brillo pad on an open wound.

Everyone pouring their cup of wine to the floor was amusing.
When the English chic was rubbing herself on Ragnar after she peed on him, I was imaging all the STDs she was transferring to him.

They juxtaposed all that with the conversations in England where the Vikings were explaining that their gods walked among them as men. I thought the traveler was supposed to be a manifestation of Odin or something but I too felt like I got a little lost during that storyline.

yeah but right from the start everyone was sleeping with everyone even ragnar asking if other people wanted to sleep with him and his women and stuff so i think this is just how they are saying it was back in the day bromigos

No comments on an episode that featured the birth of Alfred the Great?

figured it was only a matter of time.. was sorta hoping that Floki would have met his dismise also. I've grown tired of his constant whining.

Figured it was only a matter of time before an attempt was made, and Floki was the likely aggressor. Was mildly surprised that it was succesful and that (apparently) Floki got away clean.
Was more surprised by Ragnar killing the farmer to keep it from becoming public knowledge how the English King backstabbed them.
My understanding of the traveler was that he was one of the Viking Gods.

I thought Athelstan would become Guthrum, who in history was a Viking who converted to Christianity that fought with Ragnars sons against King Alfred the Great.

Just caught up on the last two episodes. Hate to say it, but they've really #### the bed this season. This thing is all over the place and none of it is very compelling, which is a shame because some of the stuff (not the religious b.s.) is interesting ground to cover. I mean, they're about to sack Paris and I'm 
with how they've treated it. They've turned Ragnar into a supporting character - why do they need the idiotic jarl Kaff subplot for instance. They also seem to have run out of quality actors, this new French contingent sucks, particularly the King. And what's with Count Odo's wig? That thing is awful, even by dark ages standards.

When you center the show on a (very likely) fictitious character, you're probably not going to get a ton of accurate history.

Not sure why this show doesnt get more love. Last nights episode was money.

The exceptionally crummy writing and plots this season make me want to split the writers' heads open with an axe. They finally get the production budget to do pretty large scale battles and the vapidity and disjointedness of the story make them somehow boring.
So the culmination of the last 4 years is a baptism? That's how Ragnar goes out. Horrible.
They should have just renamed this season "Vikings: I love you man II - Ragnar and Athelstan are friends."
Also, why does each Frankish character have their own unique accent? So annoying and distracting.
There's really no way to redeem this season. An hour long season finale consisting solely of a 3 way between Largertha, Judith and Crazy Queen of Mercia would only get them about half way there at this point.

Liked the big spiked rolling wheel that came down the tunnel.
The Impaled just went round and round - most still alive.

It's either her (Judith) or Lagertha. Judith has a bit of the crazy eyes thing going - haven't decided if that's a plus or a minus yet.

Really poor season. Find myself rooting for the French.

I think its in par with the rest. The scope has certainly increased.
Nothing wrong with rooting for the french. I dont think Ragnar and company were ever meant to represent the 'good guys'.

Seems like internal injuries with Ragnar. I think the Parisians are starving for the most part.

Pretty sure its internal injuries from when he fell off a ladder contraption - hit off the wall and landed on his back iirc. Hasn't been right since. Didn't they show him pissing blood?
