Loving the start of the new season so far though I have forgotten a lot of it from its long break. Time to see some massacre of the Northmen in York, soon.
shareI loved seasons 1 and 2, but it started to get tedious. I am surprised to see this is still going ... I will have to look into it.
shareI was skeptical if it would still be any good without Ragnar, but the new season looks interesting so far. Jonathan Rhys Myers is a good addition to the cast, and I am loving the scenes of Floki discovering Iceland. I guess Bjorn is going to North Africa this season? That might be cool too. I like the parts where they go to other lands and spread out and discover and explore.
The politics and infighting back in Denmark are less interesting to me. Lagertha definitely should have killed Harald instead of shagging him.
I agree that she should have killed him, but I have always found Hirst to be a lazy writer who likes to make plotting easy for himself, so he, Hirst, not Lagertha, let a dangerous antagonist live to antagonize another day. However, I don't think that Lagertha shagged the guy. She RAPED him!
shareI didn't hear him say "no".
shareHe didn't say anything. The decision wasn't his to make. Rape is an act of power, not sex. Lagertha was in complete control of the situation. She just jumped on him, and was clearly interested only in satisfyng herself, not him. When she climaxed, she stopped and stood up. Hell, the guy may have loved it, it was still rape. He was taken without his consent.
shareEh, I wouldn't consider it rape. He looked like he enjoyed it too. I mean he did say he was lonely and needed a wife and getting his cock twiddled a bit after felt pretty good I'd say. I also don't think she climaxed at all but was just engaging in a quick hate tease sex. Also, consent doesn't need to be verbal, he clearly was needing/wanting it.
