"Everyone hates you now!"


Yep, in case you didn't get it over the course of the last few episodes, they pretty much gave up on the whole "show, don't tell" technique and *beep* SPELLED it for you! The only thing it lacked was Hirst's mug staring directly at the viewers and asking if they've got it yet. Everyone hates Ragnar now. Why? Who the hell knows!? He achieved far more than all the troglodytes in that corner of the world, but hey, the "brilliant" writers desperately needed to make Ragnar likeable again before they eventually kill him and the show altogether.

What a joke this has become. It started quite well, introduced some interesting new actors, had a strong narrative, actually dared to show some real tiny glimpses into factual Viking history... But then it madly wanted to be Game of Thrones for whatever reason. And now it has finally devolved into lesbian judo scenes.

Farewell, Ragnar! Looks like your snake pit is far away in the distance and sadly, the journey has already become tiresome.

It seems that the slaughter of Viking settlers in England has had a big emotional impact on the people and he didn't seem to give a damn about them (ie. he didn't show community spirit in talking to families or providing support to them, instead he went into hiding mulling over his feelings of guilt).

The PEOPLE acting pissed over the FATE of those in the Wessex SETTLEMENT are HYPOCRITES of the WORST KIND.

NOTE the way NONE of them ever CARED ENOUGH about any of them to go back there to visit them.

Once they had a share of the PARIS LOOT there was also no excuse not to HIRE someone to take them there for a visit.

But they were obviously too busy ENJOYING the BOOTY to give a HOOT about what was going on in WeSSEX.

This is what happens when leaders stop leading and get morbidly obested by their own agendas and private vendettas.I grant you we have got that Nobody loves Ragnar. But Ragnar after his self indulging Apocalypse Paris trek is back on track. The mind is still sharp but the joints are creaking.
Importantly having failed his constituency of sorts he has not been re-elected. This is how the populace of every corner of our planet reacts. Panel and Circenses . Feed them. Roof and heat. And a few pleasing trimmings and they let you lead the chariot. Should you fail the contract, they will mercilessly clear the stage and you included.

RAGNAR is still KING of KATTEGAT.

If he were not, he wouldn't have had them CHALLEGE HIM to see who wants to be the NEXT KING.

CREAKING JOINTS are caused by INACTIVITY.

LAGERTHA is the SAME AGE as RAGNAR and her JOINTS obviously AREN'T CREAKING.

RESEARCH shows us as long as we do the right kind of BODY MOVEMENTS as we work out THE JOINTS stay fine.

A former 66 YEAR OLD BALLERINA named MIRANDA ESMONDE WHITE also has an exercise show called CLASSICAL STRETCH where she explains this to you.

RAGNAR also didn't STOP LEADING.

HE LEFT TOWN because he couldN'T STAND being around THE BROOD MARE who INSULTED the memory of ATHELSTAN by saying RAGNAR shouldn't CARE about him because he was

ONLY A CHRISTAIN.

It's that kind of PREJUDICE that DRIVES him away.

But he's also NOT at LIBERTY to say that to anyone.

Because by doing so, he also becomes LIKE HER, or someone just as BITTER as she is, and by BAD MOUTHING her he also becomes a DO AS HE SAYS BUT NOT AS HE DOES type of a HYPOCRITE.

RAGNAR leaves BJORN behind to RUN THINGS.

BJORN also expressed a DESIRE to RULE when he ARRESTED FLOKI.

So RAGNAR lets him RULE the place in his absence.

And he's also done a GOOD JOB, but what people also FORGET is the PARIS TREASURE also CORRUPTS the town the same way as it had PARIS.

That's the NATURE of the BEAST.

That's also why JESUS turns down SATAN when he offers to make him A RICH MAN.

And RAGNAR also KNOWS this, because he also asked ATHELSTAN WHY HIS GOD NEEDED SO MUCH SILVER and GOLD.

RAGNAR has NEVER had a DESIRE to BE RICH.

He's seen what BEING RICH does to you.

IT CORRUPTS YOU.

THE MORE you get the MORE you want.

MORE GIVE ME MORE GIVE ME MORE.

And after the NIGHT when we WAKE UP we'll see what tomorrow brings.




And what did it bring to MERCIA???

REMEMBER the chat ECBERT has in the TOMB in MERCIA???

IT results in TOTAL CHAOS and DESTRUCTION, where a GRANDMOTHER HAD her TONGUE and BREAST CUT OFF before she's MURDERED after also watching her grandkids being KILLED in front of her.

According to what the SEER told BJORN, This is most likely also where we're heading now.

DOWN the same path as the FAMILY back in MERCIA took.
