Any bets on Lagertha dying off this season? Seems like they might be building up to that.

Harald did become king of all of Norway according to history, so...

This also makes it pretty unlikely that Astrid slits his throat while he sleeps.

She might cut off his willy though, he can still become king with no willy...

Historically he did have lot of sons, including Eric Bloodaxe.

I'm curious to know what you do not like about him?

He is basically Joffrey.

But Ivar is an rear end in a top hat. He's a dick and has been evil since he was a child murdering other children.

This was probably based on Egil Skallagrimmson, an icelandic poet who according to the sagas did the same thing when he was seven.

I know that in Ancient roman times that it wasn't an insult to gently caress dudes as long as you were the one that did the loving. Could be a similar case here.

Calling someone gay was one of the biggest insults in the norse culture and something that could cost you your life.

I don't really know where they can take the show from here that is going to be really convincing. (Just spoiler tagging for the few people not aware of the history...) The logical endpoint is King Alfred beating the Great Heathen Army, since the whole B plot is sort of leading to that.

I will be really impressed if they manage to get to the battle of Stamford Bridge.
