Vikings reaction post: Portage

[oneiriad]

I wonder why the subtitle maker has chosen for Björn to consistently address his father as "De".

Athelstan walks beside him. Everybody's obsessed with that tiny viking. As am I, so who am I to talk...

And so beings the portage...

How can Aslaug, who after all is so smart, be so fricking stupid?

I do want Ragnar and Floki to be friends again. Though - even in season one it was not the most trusting of relationships (or do you regularly put a knife to a friend's throat?). But even with Athelstan's death - I want them both to heal.

Portage!

I still haven't figured out if Roland and Therese are really siblings and fucked up, or just lovers and allies and lied to the emperor in order to make him believe them. Either way, I do like them.

And I like Judith and Kwenthrith being friends, when they shouldn't be.

Dear Aslaug: kill him!

Sins of the world? Harbard, sins are a Christian concept! Fake!!!

Why you, Judith? Because Athelstan fucked you...

So - no King Odo in this alternate history.

Helga has recovered from her burns remarkably well, hasn't she?

So that was Yidu's story? Person of colour in Vikings, yay! Except - instead of someone from a culture we got Yidu, Athelstan 2.0 from a culture the real vikings are not known to have met, she - a Chinese woman - naturally got Ragnar hooked on drugs, and now - now she's a straightforward murder of the only person of colour on the show... You could have done better, Hirst.

AU where Kwenthrith managed to espace King Ecbert and manages to somehow make her way to Kattegat. Where Aslaug waits.

No, no, no! Kwenthrith!
