Finally watched the episode....Damn. I thought Ragnar was going to do it. Kinda surprised he didn't. Don't know how the kid will survive, though. If he can't walk, he can't fight. And if he can't fight as a male in Viking society, he's worthless. Hell, he can't even be a slave if he can't walk. He isn't headed for a pretty life.

Interested to see where they're heading with Bjorn. You know he and Ragnar are going to butt heads eventually, as Ragnar can't stand the thought of anyone, even his son(s), being greater than him. Bjorn's interest in the slave chick can't end well. He's son of the eventual King of the Vikings. No way Ragnar lets him marry a slave girl when his marriage could secure a key alliance later down the road. Probably another reason he'll have to go head-to-head with Ragnar. Rollo will figure into this somewhere, too.

Loved the new princess chick. She's hot, devious, and hilarious. Definitely got the cray in her.

Ragnar's decision to not consult Horik & Lagertha is going to cause huge problems. Of course, if you know much about the legend of Ragnar Lothbrok, you'll know he eventually unites the Vikings. This may be a good way for him to rid himself of Horik without having to actually do it himself. Regardless, shit has gotten real in Wessex.

Lagertha is badass. As tough as almost any of the men and uses her brain. Sexy as hell. I'm fully expecting she & Ragnar to hook up again. Why couldn't this show have been on HBO, Starz, etc.?!
