Right. Here I am. Sitting here and waiting to have my heart broken (yes, I've been spoiled - deliberately on my part - I'm not sure I could handle not knowing).
Let's see - download: 42.29. HBO 45.19. Definitely room for a deleted scene or two.
Awww, look - the boys playing with sandcastles.
You know, I am so tired of how this show uses Freya as a catch all goddess. There's a whole bloody pantheon, you know - including a goddess of healing, you know.
I wanna see grandpa Ragnar. Please?
Ragnar's A+ parenting. Poor boy. Though the kid didn't even seem to wake up.
And my heart is already beginning to break. Dammit.
BTW, does that farmer look a bit like familiar to any of you? (ETA: Søren Pilmark!)
Dammit, Athelstan - you really need to stop these hallucinations. They'll be the death of you some day.
You know, this whole public spectacle of punishing Judith is stupid. Apart from anything else, it's a political nightmare for Ecbert - a threat to his alliance Northumbria as well as rendering both of Judith's sons' claim on the throne practically moot, since their mother was an adultress, so how can anybody be sure they are actually Aethelwulf's. Idiotic (as idiotic as Judith not having sex with Aethelwulf the moment she noticed she's missed a period).
Well, that was - vivid. I wonder if that's been cut. (No, not going to check. Later. For now, just watch).
I am now left wondering if Ecbert is pretending or if he's going "Athelstan? My boyfriend Athelstan! Oh dear, oh dear."
Hey, so Athelstan did turn out to be the father of Alfred the Great. Things are definitely getting set up for the next generation - I wonder if season four will have a massive time-skip and then get to a version of the Great Heathen Invasion. (And Hirst always did want to write Alfred the Great - wasn't that the original plan, that morphed into Vikings in the first place?)
Dammit, Athelstan - no throwing away your wedding arm ring. Dammit.
I'm not sure I can watch this.
Ragnar: "I love you!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dammit, Björn - last season you were all "I loved Athelstan. He was my favourite baby sitter!"
Thorunn annoys me. She's all woe-is-me. Björn is kissing her, wants her, couldn't care less about the state of her face - and she's all "let's find you a woman". Is she just stupid?
And everybody hates Athelstan again. Poor baby.
And the Wanderer was not the wanderer. Well, that's something, at least.
And I've spotted a deleted scene. Which I couldn't care less about. What is it with Americans and naked breasts with babies attached?
I'm pretty sure Torvi was just the first person in the show to actually use the word 'viking'. Hmmm.
Maybe Floki should lay off the mushrooms as well. Also, the whole bleeding statue thing? Isn't that kinda - Christian?
Torvi really has the worst taste in husbands, doesn't she? Poor girl.
No no no no no no no no no no noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Dammit, Floki.
And cut to Ragnar carrying poor Athelstan's body around, joking about him being heavy. Oh dear sweet Athelstan. Oh my heart.
And meaningful haircut time.
I wonder - I wonder. Does Ragnar know who killed Athelstan? Did Floki escape unnoticed. I suppose he must have - since he can be going on the Paris raids.
