I remember, but Einar made it seem like he got his family on board to back him before Kalf turned the tables.
I don't see what Kalf said that was so threatening to make Einar support someone him instead of himself.
Either way, Hedeby is f*cked.

Yes, the people of Hedeby seem to back anyone standing before them. Maybe this would work better if we heard from some questioned civilian about the feeling on the street. Do they like Earl Ingstad?

Bjorn makes Ragnar look like Prince Charming.

I hate the US edits, but I'm glad we were spared that scene.
When Rag/Lag start tapping each other again it should not be with her.

At the very least, someone's got to translate that dirty talk.

I'm not into her at all. And the show wants us to care about them but I can't.
They fell in love in like 2 seconds, and she's kind of annoying.

Because he knows Lagertha and she isn't about that flowery bullshit. Not truly.

What's up with Ragnar grabbing Kwen by the throat?

How dumb is Einar— they guy who finished off Lagertha's husband and the original guy jockeying for her position.

It was cowardly. But I imagine Kalf doesn't feel like wasting time worrying about honor for the Earldom—he wants the kingship. This is just a step along the way.
He doesn't seem concerned about Lagertha's retaliation, only Ragnar's.

Is it just me, or does Lagertha still seem like his main chick while Aslaug still seems like a side piece. Despite the kids.

Things were looking up, but it still seemed uncertain to me. Siggy is tired of being a mere member of Ragnar's court. She wants distinction. I thought once Ragnar was king he would've rewarded her in some way for the enormous risks she took. Same for Lagertha and Floki. So far it doesn't seem like anyone gained a…

We hear it as English for show purposes, but they are 'really' speaking Old Norse and Old Saxon. It doesn't become apparent until the two sides have to speak to each other.
Ragnar and Athelstan are the only characters who speak both languages.

That was Floki who saved him.

I think Ivar has made him question his fate and the gods. Pushing him further into Christianity.

I think Ragnar will clash over Athelstan with Ecbert. Not Lagertha.
Ragnar is oddly possessive over Athelstan, whereas he holds confidence that Lagertha will always be in his corner.

Above all things, Ragnar is a pragmatist.

^Bingo.

Her true colors come out in spurts. For a moment with Porunn "Why does everyone want to be like Lagertha". Before she realized it and calmed down. Her humility has always read false to me.

And I think they are both full of shit.
Especially Aslaug.
