Vikings: The Usurper - reaction post

Hmmm. 42.29 versus 43.15. Probably not a lot deleted - and I really need to check how long the credits are.

Athelstan really has got sex on the brain these days. Must be all those hormones. Did he hit puberty, you think?

Ah - so, if Athelstan goes back, it will be for the child, not the girlfriend. Now, that actually makes sense.

Dammit, somebody please hug Rollo.

Ah - and more ridiculously anachronistic viking rooms. I like them, but I doubt their realism.

Dear, sweet Floki - petulance doesn't become you.

Excuse me while I snigger at random bits of pronounciation. Hedeby...

And apparently Judith didn't even have the brains to fuck Aethelwulf to make sure a pregnancy wasn't automatically a sign of infidelity. Stupid, stupid girl. And considering how quickly Aethelwulf starts shouting, even before he has actual reason to suspect her of wrongdoing - that does not seem the happiest of marriages.

Vikings really do specialize in tricksy trailers - make it seem Aethelwulf will be raiding the Northmen colony, then send him to stop the raids.

Lagertha, don't be mad - Hedeby is on the way to Francia. Surely you - as its Earl - know this.

And the Danish subtitles just went beyond my vocabulary. Cool.

Ragnar knows how to pick his battles.

The Seer = local psychologist. At least he doesn't eat people...

A bear will marry a princess - not Björn, but Rollo the Berserker, Duke of Normandy, ancestor of kings and queens. Not a bad way to go - though I wonder if he'll think retired and dead of old age better than going to Valhalla like his brother.

Dammit, Aethelwulf.

Poor Ragnar - cuckolded by his own "dad". That's - kinda creepy.
