Orphan Cat

yep. Super convenient lag time there...

I loved the long con. Brilliant. Hope Helga understands that he was trying to protect her. (Hate that trope, though, by the way. Yet it was necessary here, I think)

My daughter is studying Old Norse. She's not an expert but she is a hardcore nerd. She says it may be spelled that way but there are two ways to pronounce spelled TH. And one way, which is how you pronounce this character's name, is sort of a mix of the P and the TH sound. Like a breath with P sound and then the TH.

I love the eye roll and look when Ragnar is suggesting they wait and not charge down the hill but Horik gets in a huff and throws his weight around.

Does anyone feel a sense of foreboding about Floki and Helga's impending nuptials? (Flolga? Helki?) I get a strong "plot device" vibe...I like Helga and don't want to see her die but I feel it might happen to move things along for Floki. Give him something to focus on.

"Like wings."

I'm kind of disgusted with myself that I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Aslaug...

He wants money for a slinky dress.

or kale, as it were.

Yeah, I'm kind of wondering how this will work...we shall see. And...SHIELD WALL. Because it had to be said/posted.

I lurked on TWOP and can't even remember my username... I love how Elementary is just quietly and steadily becoming a truly awesome piece of television.

Loved seeing Ragnar and Lagertha rush over to shield Baby Bjorn when he had some trouble. The Vikings who slay together, stay together...or not, in this case.
