Plots(1)
Preparations for the Paris raid pick up pace. Porunn and Judith both deliver children, and with new life there is also death. Athelstan tells Ragnar of his re-connection to his Christian faith. Floki interprets a sign from the gods that a sacrifice should be made. (History Channel)
Reviews (2)
The ultimate torture scene, admittedly a bit too much of the annoying religious overtones, but the final countdown didn't overstay its welcome, we were just waiting to see when it would come. An intense, full-blooded episode, one of the best of the third season.
()
Finally, the creators came up with an episode that was worth it in the third season. Although Floki's and Athelstan's religious ecstasy often gets on my nerves, I enjoyed the episode because it once again reassured me that the ends justify the means and that Christian love for one's neighbor often manifests quite barbarically.
