Vikings: The Wanderer - reaction post

[oneiriad]

Hey, HBO Nordic's is already up. I wonder how early it is posted and if it might be worth trying to catch before work next friday.

Maybe not.

Hmmm. Almost same length. Can't be much in the way of deleted bits - though HBO Nordic has no recap bit, so maybe?

Always the mushrooms. And always Freya - it's not that I am not fond of the Norse religion bits, but they are limiting themselves to the main gods and that's annoying. Freya wasn't healing. Eir was.

You know, I think I would have preferred Kwenthrith without the tragic backstory...

Björn is really a bit of an idiot, isn't he? Good thing his younger brother is the one with the brains of his generation.

Note to self: don't get captured by Rollo. Especially not when he's high on magic mushrooms.

Hey, where's the subtitles? I wanna know what Ecbert is really saying.

Wait - it's winter in Kattegat but presumably summer in England? They do realize Scandinavia and Great Britain isn't that far from one another, right?

Yay, religious conflict!

Uhm, Aethelwulf? That's a horse, not a bicycle - what's with the handsignals?

Awww, bireligious Athelstan - he needs Ragnar cuddles.

"Du har sandt for dyden syndet." *sniggers*

Dammit, Athelstan, stop that - she's a married woman, dammit, you idiot.

And I found a bit they cut.

I find it worrying how little attention people pay Torstein, even though he's obviously ill. You'd have thought Floki would examine him early on or something, but no - poor bastard has to call his friends away from their games and tell them to cut off his arm.

Dammit, Athelstan, stop flirting.

Stigmata? Actual non-hallucinatory stigmata?
