    I bet you're right about Athelstan.
    Bjorn is a bigger guy in the show now than Ragnar, hope they don't make some sort of rivalry between them. I thought they did an awesome job with the casting of Bjorn, as they have with the rest of the show so far. That kid looks like he would be a force to be reckoned with.

    He is Cato from the hunger games, they show his body a little more in that movie and he is cut! Love the choice

    Would you rather see Ragnar die in the snakepit like the real story or keep on with his story line?

    I've been a huge fan of the show since it's inception, and will continue to watch the series for a couple reasons.

    1) I'm very interested in Viking culture.
    2) I'm also very interested in how they communicate the Christian ideals throughout the story.
    3), and most importantly, Katheryn Winnick is a babe. Seriously. Wow.

    But still, I think the show likes an identity. The cinematography is very good, but the ridiculous time jumps make it difficult to buy into the story. It's almost like the writers and producers say, "Alright, this episode, let's be dramatic, romanticize Viking culture, and build mythology." Then the next they're like, "Cool, let's jump ahead 8 years just to see what happens."

    Still, it's a cool show and I look forward to every it week. I just can't get as into it as I first thought.

    Yeah I don't recall seeing him either but I seriously doubt he's done...they just had to leave one hanging question didn't they, lol.

    I was about ready to throttle Floki there for a good while!

    I think last night's episode is the best yet, at least one of the best for sure.

    Best episode so far. Going into thursday I figired Floki was still with ragnar playing the king for a fool. After he fed rollo that mushroom it made me rethink that. Then come to find out he was still with Ragnar. Awesome episode. Can't wait for the next season now.

    So what did happen to Rollo. Is he dead, alive, or is he the cliffhanger until next season?
