Plots(1)
The traditional pilgrimage to Uppsalla to thank the gods brings a torrent of emotions for Ragnar, Lagertha, and Athelstan. Ragnar, pulling farther away from his wife, goes to make peace with the death of his unborn son. Lagertha, still reeling from her miscarriage, wants to find out from the gods if more sons are in her future. As the Vikings come together to sacrifice and give thanks to their gods, Athelstan discovers just how strong his Christian faith still is. (History Channel)

A bit too much religion. There is a lack of any sense of sound judgement, which does not correspond with the emotional development of the characters so far. Major crap.

This episode is exactly why I love Vikings. If it were just about the action, I’d be struggling to give it two stars. But this show isn’t one-dimensional. The eighth episode felt like a Norse Woodstock, complete with everything you'd expect, and even threw in some butcher shop vibes. Given my disdain for all religions, I appreciated this kind of enlightening.
