And yet he still totally owns Erlender and Kalf IMO.

Did you know that Elinor Crawley, the actress who plays Thyri, is dating George Blagden, aka Athelstan? In a way it makes it seem like Thyri and Athlelstan are still with us…

Alas, Floki doesn't deserve Helga. If he truly considered her feelings, he'd have realized his rash actions would make her suffer as well.

I used to think that, but with how repulsively misanthropic CoE was (showing a man shooting his family and then himself, only for his former secretary to laud him like a saint, and the callous introduction and murder of Jack's grandson for plot device purposes), I'm glad he's no longer in such cynical and hopeless…

Back in the day of Television Without Pity, everyone would've agreed with you. Ugh, Phoebe.

And, for those who've seen the extended scenes, his bum…

I often wished that TBE's unwarranted run time could've been donated to The Last Kingdom. That show needed a couple more eps to pace the story perfectly. Also, more Leofric.

Wait, I thought they raised the demon, not killed it.

If you prefer him muscular but not swole it is.

I kinda shipped her with Bro!SteveRogers in that movie. Especially after that line.

Ben is Glory! (slap) Glory is Ben!

So, I guess you're saying that Jesus is all right with you?

I think there's a difference between wishing to die before being completely ravaged by a fatal disease and being suicidal due to mental illness. I've had depression with suicidal ideation since I was a little kid, and I'm well aware what it's like to want that pain to end. However, I'm also aware that there will be…

True. My comment was about how Hirst is contrasting Saxon and Norse culture as well as religious beliefs. I'm not sure how the law developed into the mutilation punishment (it could be a mixture of how the Church was at that time plus how secular law developed) but at the time laws regarding wifely cuckolding focused…

For those who may be interested, the bit about women not being allowed to illuminate texts is (surprise, surprise) inaccurate. There were many nuns who illuminated sacred texts just as there were monks: http://www.medieval-life-an… It would be odd for a layperson such as Judith to want to learn, but that's because…

Oddly enough, the first time I heard that joke was in Ritch Little's version of A Christmas Carol (he played every part doing his different impressions). The joke was made re. Scrooge. It might have been stolen from I, Claudius. Or it's a well-worn joke. Who knows.

Yup, he might start to remind Gisla that she's expected to have sex with him as his wife, but I don't think he'd be violent in this case, especially as she is a princess. Now watch him be a wife abuser next ep just to make me a liar. ;-)

Silly goose, only one person in the country has an HBO Go account. They shared the password with their friends, who shared it with their friends, who shared it with their friends…

A snake bit him once. Unfortunately, it died.

I felt the same about Eirik. I just hope that Rollo didn't kill everyone in the camp, because how else are they going to establish the Normans? It was more than just one dude, after all.
