[Lostie!]

Just caught up on the new episodes. I'm enjoying it but I have a couple of issues. I think they've messed up with Lagertha by having her blaming Aslaug solely for what happened with her and Ragnar and for shooting her in the back. Just did the character a massive disservice imo.

Also it's still bugging me how Bjorn hasn't once been shown to acknowledge baby Siggy's death. I'd have found it much more satisfying for him to kill Aslaug for that tbh.

I reckon Jonathan Rhys Meyers will be playing either an older Alfred or Magnus, not sure which. I was thinking Alfred but I can't help but think an older, vengeful Magnus will return after another time jump so that's a real possibility too.

And with the ending of the last episode,

Spoiler:

I'm convinced more than ever that Ragnar's dying this season. They alluded perfectly to how it happened in the sagas, Aelle executed Ragnar in a snake pit and his sons killed Aelle in return. I hope they do stick to having Aelle kill him because they nicely foreshadowed it way back in the first season when Aelle made a speech of exacting revenge on Ragnar (and the scenes of him throwing someone in a snake pit).

(That spoiler mentions something from the original stories that may or may not happen in the show )
