Well that whole Mediterranean trip was kinda dumb and pointless.

I guess Hirst has too much budget and not enough story.

They still have to hit up Italy.

Ivar needs a united army to take over England. He has to go back to claim some kind of leadership position. This was a punitive raid so they don't have the manpower for an invasion force.

The bee death was cool and good.

I agree wholeheartedly with the person complaining about the lack of shield walls and the lovely melees. It looks so stupid and doesn't convey any type of momentum. It's like a bunch of people having duels in a field.

It does have some nice parts where it almost feels like it earned that big climax but then yeah the show does something ridiculous that stops it just short of being satisfying or significant.

This describes Vikings better than TLK.

It was worth watching to have some kind of continuity.

The show tried to get really artsy-fartsy with some battle scenes and managed to accomplish this in a bad way while still having run-of-the-mill battle scenes where everyone just fights individually instead of the way Viking and English actually fought, which was arguably more intense to watch.

Hopefully this next half is better. By the way it's been months where the gently caress IS the second half of this season?

All the best and most unique battles on this show have had shield walls but they have abandoned them for generic slashing.
