I'm not feeling the love this season. I want to explore the world they exist in, but Floki's story feels small, and Bjorn and Halfdan literally ran away from the most interesting part of the season to join in yet more dull dynastic infighting. Heahmund was brilliant but I'm not really sure where his great love of and loyalty to Lagertha have come from.
The Saxon politicking confused me as well. The older brother voluntarily stepped aside then seemed unhappy at having done so. Cuthred was promised a Bishopric for supporting the younger brother but didn't, but is then a Bishop. Huh? Did Judith mind trick everyone?
I will say that both myself and the episode both said simultaneously - "Where's Rollo?" Is Clive Standen otherwise employed? Also I can't understand him supporting one set of nephews over another, especially if he doesn't want Bjorn killed. Hopefully the finalé sheds some light on this.
