I didn't think an episode could get any worse than the last one but here we are. One thing the creators can’t be faulted for is that Ivar’s character keeps evolving. How exactly, well, that’s another matter. To top it off, the plot has circled back to Floki’s settlers, who I didn't care about before, still don't care about, and probably never will. And let's not even get started on what's happening in England. Two stars feel about right for this one.

The blatant boredom and the final sacrifice scene is so absurd that it actually evokes today's hypocritical times full of lies and untruths very well. As a semi-documentary, the final few minutes are pretty okay. Otherwise, this is the weakest episode so far.
