That was the best medieval battle scene since BOTB

Ok so I just watched the latest episode that came out Jan 3,2018. You can tell that at least 1 of the main characters will be dead soon based on this battle coming. Someone has to lose right?

So...I was thinking... since Bjorn and Lagertha say the need more men to fight Ivar...wouldn't it be fucking BADASS if Rollo busted in at the last second with an armored French army to help defend his Nephew Bjorn? Rollo has yet to appear this season if I remember correctly and he is a distant memory right now for the audience. Just seems like a good time for him to remind us all he is a badass since he is needed by "the good guys" at the moment?

Unfortunately, I cant think of how Rollo would have gotten word that Bjorn and Lagertha needed his help with enough time for him to prepare and travel that far?

I haven't seen any promo's for the next episode so I could be(and likely) waaay off on this but still think it would be SWEET to see Rollo pop back into the story in dramatic fashion since many people have likely forgotten about him by now.

It's already confirmed.... Rollo is back.... but.... on which side, Lagertha's or Ivar's?:

Vikings Mega Buzz: Rollo's Return Changes Everything!


Hmmm?

Holy shit! Lucky guess on my part so far. Now he just needs to choose Legertha and Bjorns side!

if he doesnt take their side, it will just be writers trying to outwit themselves.

Yeah I agree. I don't know if this particular situation that's about to happen has any true historical base to it or not but if the writers decide to kill off Lagertha and Bjorn,...Floki and Rollo would be the only 2 characters left that have been around since season 1. It would be a big mistake in my opinion to kill off Bjorn especially because this show still needs those close/familiar ties to Ragnar that kinda keep Ragnar relevant in a strange way. If that makes sense?

They could just send a raven to Paris. Apparently, if you send a raven, army’s can come back within hours.

Funny thing is I actually thought of that for a second but quickly realized I was thinking of the wrong show. But yes you are correct! Sending a raven is better than if they had phones according to Game of Thrones!

I'm anticipating an epic fight between Rollo and the Bishop.... and I will be kinda disappointed if it doesn't happen.

Did anyone watch last night? Was that the season ending or the mid-season ending? If it was mid, when is it coming back?

According to the preview after the ep, “soon”.


But OMG, that was a bloodbath.

Bjorn’s wife
Edge’s kid
Floki (?)
Tattoo-face-brother
Astrid

That is a lot of main-ish characters killed in a single episode.

It was and I think that is what keeps it a great show. Ivar is a great character, the guy who plays him is excellent. He makes you really hate him.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fuck. I didn't know this was back on. I'll have to check Amazon prime to make sure I'm up to the start of the season and then watch on the History app.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Who knew Ivar was such a pussy...LOL.

Great first half!! Had to make way for some more characters to come in.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Really didn't have high hopes for this show once Ragnar died... But damn this has to be one of the best seasons yet.

Looking forward to seeing what happens with Rollo's return. Will he finally get whats comin to him?

Also glad they killed off some of the characters. Some characters' side plots weren't very interesting. Kinda hoped Lagertha would have been one of them. Not because her story wasn't interesting, but because it seemed like her fate as soon as she usurped Kattegat, pinning herself against Ragnar's sons.

I didn't care for how the Bishop's story ended up... I can understand why he didn't die in York (Ivar's fascination ala Ragnar) but after the first Viking battle over Kattegat when Lagertha took him captive was stupid. Was it a way for Lagertha to pay homage to Ragnar, or was it just for sympathy? The way they built up the Bishop's character I thought he was destined for greater things, but when he became Lagertha's pony boy I started wondering why they didn't just kill him off? I sure hope they redeem his character in the 2nd half of this season.

 

[calsnowskier]

The Bishop is an odd character. He is supposed to be a GREAT fighter, and incredibly pious, yet he has been on the losing side of all 3 battles he has been a part of and his loyalties are more fickle than a 14 year old girl.

November 28!

Hvitserk is with Bjorn in the trailer. We've pretty much gone off the rails from a true historical perspective but damn that looks sweet. GOT foreplay
