Plots(1)
In the Great Hall of Kattegat, a seer reads Earl Haraldson's future and tells him that Ragnar Lothbrok searches for his death. The unanswerable question is whom the gods favor more? As a man willing to defend his power and status to the death, Haraldson intends to take precautionary measures. Ragnar, his home and farm burned by the Earl, is hurt but hidden safely away. He must now choose the path that will lead him back to his freedom. (History Channel)

This episode delivered the most action-packed scenes so far, and they were impressively executed. The happenings in Kattegat were equally engaging, filled with intrigue that made up for the lack of action there. On the downside, the perfectly timed lake meeting between Ragnar and his family in the drifting boat was a bit too convenient. And while Jarl Haraldson is a valuable character, Gabriel Byrne comes off as somewhat tired.

Passionate or excellent strategist (?) Rollo, an excellent house robbery, with a fabulous Ragnar, that almost resulted in one of the greatest series twists ever. It’s beginning to be fun.
