I had the impression that he got Magnus out because he feared someone would kill him. Magnus may well be Ragnar's son, even if he refused to acknowledge him (it certainly looked as if Kwendrith was having sex with him during the pee scene), it is likely he is and will be the son that kills Lagertha.

So they switch to roasting people?

Just how big do you think these ships were??
One always has to be in awe of the courage of these people, going to sea - including the North Sea later on - in open boats that were not exactly ocean liners.

Didn't actually see this done either, just their faces.
Wish they would be that restrained with the torture scenes.

The horse was pretty obviously the same one he had at home, you try holding yourself while pooping over the side of a moving boat - even with functioning legs. Boats do not hold still and seas are rarely dead calm, I've had enough boats to know that.

Certainly agree with all that.
They had poor Auslag suddenly a drunk part time, pining after some wandering possible minor God, letting Porun's girl child die of neglect, breast feed her crippled son for years, and just generally become a nothing when she started out as a seer and a minor deity on her own. Bad, bad…

Exactly.
Average life span of a Viking at the time was 29, so Ivar did not die "young" for the era.
Still don't buy he was crippled, just not making sense.

Don't think there is any "hate" for Aethelwulf, he is portrayed as a rather dim bloke with a religious mania streak. Not exactly lovable, but certainly not to be hated. The one woman who did fancy him was a lunatic (Kwendrith) and that did not end well.

Considering Ragnar was gone for 12 years and hardly knew Ivar, that seems a bit sketchy at best.

Good thought. Since potty duty was, at best, holding on to someone pooping over the side of a moving boat, Ivar would certainly have needed that servant. Wiping was not likely a need nor were other "sanitary" functions we take for granted, so I often wonder at the very modern kissing - they didn't brush much…

Not to mention riding in wonder chariots that make noise and would get stuck on the muddy, crude, rocky roads.
Scouts, by definition, stealthily SCOUT - they don't go blundering and arguing along a main road.

Vikings were not institutionally sadistic, not like the countries you mention where torture was a trade and the Pope eventually wrote a manual for it during the Inquisition - but there is evidence that people were burned alive as punishment.
The Greenland sagas speak of the lack of wood for burning people so oil was…

Then tell me why Ivor, an inexperienced boy and a cripple, would
know strategy???

Historically, Rollo founded the Frankish empire and his sons became major powers in Ireland, etc.
Don't think there is a role for him in the Viking saga at this point.

Yes, it is absolutely gorgeous - I've said several times that it is the largest collection of gorgeous actors, costumes, scenery, etc. currently on t.v.

So why are you here???
Really, just asking, no offense.

Right, Harald had every chance to take Kattegat when Auslag was in charge and boys were young, he would never have waited until Lagertha and her gals took over.

Nice eyes for sure — very, very limited role so far and totally unbelievable skill set.

Right about the ads for Six — which I will never watch now.

Right on all counts.
