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)

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.

The fifth episode brought the largest amount of action scenes so far, which the creators succeeded in very well. However, I also enjoyed the events in Kattegat, where the lack of action was richly compensated for by intrigues. To not just praise, the meeting on the lake between Ragnar and his family in a drifting boat was damn well timed, and even though Jarl Haraldson's character is a contribution to the story, Gabriel Byrne appears somewhat tired to me.
