IIRC that marsh was expanded into a sort-of moat as a defense against such a diversionary land attack, per Rollo's suggestion to Odo a few eps earlier.

I would totally watch a Jerry Ford film.

Different Ecbert (or Egbert) and from a different kingdom (Northumbria, Aelle's kingdom on this show) who was Ivar's puppet.

Totally depends on what the three weavers feel like, Man.

That is giving him too much credit.

Forget it Jake. It ain't Chinatown. But it's not bad. I'll watch anything with either Martin Balsam or John Cazale.

It was one of the few success stories of Brezhnev's modernization efforts.

Shouldn't that be "beet you to it"?

It's "Hand In Glove", not "Hand wrist deep in a jumbo sized tub of oil drenched popcorn" you fat fucks!

They didn't appear to be caged. I assume they wonder off and eat people's grains most of the time.

That jerk was the last man to fuck with her and not get got…………..yet

The Seer licks everyone's hand throughout this show. I guess it was supposed to be some custom that you do to thank him for telling your fortune. Or maybe it's helps him identify people since his eyes have been cauterized over.

Yeah all that lightish royal blue on every wall, shield, jerkin, chair, etc. is actually kinda cool, though I have no idea if Paris would have been that colorful then. I'm not even sure it'd be a place the Emperor's family would hang out in all year round at that point.

Reading the recaps of this show is what led me to Bernard Cornwell's books (and TLK). And yeah it is cool when there's character overlap.

I did as well. And in the Uhtred books it's mentioned Guthrum was from around Hereby and really attached to his dead mother (which I guess makes sense if your Dad was this show's Erlanger).

That Berserker'll have a hard time sneaking up on Bjorn, since his heart is beating like a truck.

Didn't Alexander Ludwig say the bear they used had more acting credits than almost everyone else in the cast?

He'll just promote Foot Lauderdale.

I'd like to imagine he and Count Oddo have a "handful of French words and charcoal sketches" means of communicating like Al Swarengen and Wu had on Deadwood.

I understand his character kills a rival viking played by Goose Gossage, after the latter starts bellyaching about how younger Vikings don't do things the right way with their with their disrespectful double-headed axe flips after decapitating foes.
