That's what I concluded when I saw Helga later on.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if he was having the vision, or she was, or she was teleporting. I do hope he gets an Emmy sometime, though.

Rasputin! Though I don't find Halbard very sexy.

Good call.

When Lagertha was covering the face of the woman going to her funeral pyre I thought it was Helga until I saw her later. Are we sure Helga is still alive?

That's an interesting idea, but I would think that if it were Aethelstan's head they would have made it very obvious to the viewer.

All the important male characters seemed to have been accounted for.

Hmm… I have no idea what that means! I've only just added "pegged' to my vocabulary.

So is "eskimo brothers" a thing? In Russian they call it "milk brothers" - because you have suckled at the same teat.

Actors playing multiple roles in the same show/movie used to be popular - how come nobody does that any more, unless they're evil twins?

I'm 65 and working on living longer than my grandparents, which gives me a couple of years. You know you're getting on when someone dies at 72 and you think "So young!"

He does clean up nice, though. I exasperated with "Lord of the Rings" because Aragorn never combed his hair for Arwen.

He is so much like Bjorn as a boy.

Once again they made him look as if he might not be really real…

Or is she?

I have no doubt that, like most of their other mishaps, the girls could make it funny. Doesn't comedy = tragedy + time?

He's going to be pretty peeved when he finds his dealer doesn't have any more of his stuff.

There is such pervasive menace in this show that you never know when someone is going to get knocked off (or stabbed), so I just didn't want to watch the bathtub scene as it went on and on.

I think the term you meant is "slave".

I suspect she will turn out to have martial arts skills (whether it's plausible or not).
