Plots(1)
Ragnar's Viking warriors march on to King Ecbert's villa and are met with a surprisingly vicious welcome party along the way. After a bloody battle both sides must come to new terms. (History Channel)
Reviews (2)
An impressive battle of kings where the creators try to make it look similarly lavish to the Battle of the Bastards, but fall far short. Still, solid production design and sets for a series, plus authentic actors. Perhaps even better than the battle is the interesting side character of Porunn. Her fundamental level of transformation from slave to normal person is presented in a surprisingly interesting way. ()
It looked so good, a clear five hovered over the episode like an eagle over Jarl Borg, because I got a great action, a perfectly intriguing King Egbert, the ever-desirous Kwinthrith, and on top of that, I won't have to watch Athelstan working on illuminations, haunted by hallucinations anymore, but then the infamous fist to the eye came. Apparently, there were leftovers from a film about the thirty years' war in the props department, so why not put those helmets on the heads of the extras, the battle is grand, it will get lost. It didn't get lost. ()
