I've been wondering if Ecbert's tub might have actually been in present-day Bath.

Way too small - the bath at Bath is pretty large.  Like as not Ecbert's bath is fire-heated and probably has a working hypocaust.   Full disclosure: my main aim in life is to build a house with a Roman bath and a triclinium.  One day, my pet, one day ...

The Romans built to last - imagine the bathing facilities built by the guys at Jamestown still being used. 

For shame...Puritans were NEVER naked.

 

Wrong colony, SingleMalt, that'd be Plymouth up north.  The Jamestown guys were mostly adventurers and entrepreneurs who would likely have been better off if they'd thought to bring some farmers with them.

Wheeeeeee!!  I love it!

 

 

 

Also though I gave thumbs up to the "Gardies" I also wanted to add a written thanks to Master Cole here.  I can't get On Top of Old Smokie out of my head now though.  "On top of Norse Mountain / All covered in mist / Floki picks mushrooms / Now that he's pissed."  Dude you got me humming that to myself now.  You are so totally evil!!!  (Hah).  Thanks for all the "Gardies."  If you have time, you should retro some of the missing episodes to help us during the downtime maybe.  Even do Season 1?

 

Yes, please!  

 

Earl Cole, although you lead a busy life, if you can squeeze some time to recap the rest of Season Two (and even Season One), I would be forever in your debt.

Kind of off-topic (as in, not about this specific episode), but my boyfriend and I -- I got him hooked on the show back when it first started -- have begun mock-blood eagling each other as a gesture of...I don't know, somewhere between tickling and play-fighting. When you're sitting or lying next to someone, you draw your index finger down his/her spine, then put both hands on the upper back and pretend you're pulling the ribs open to get at the lungs. You also have to say "Blood eagle!" while you do it, of course.

We're totally normal in a lot of other ways, I swear.

HI I am new to Vikings. I don't remember which episode finally caught my attention but I went back and rewatched from the start of season 2. I was happy Floki ended up on Ragnar's side. Siggy didn't do a good job with hiding who's side she was on for me, ever since Horik brought his son to her she just kind of put up with him and when he told her she would be second wife it seemed to firm up that she was done with his shenanigans. I'm not sure if Ragnar, Lagertha, and Aslaug had a threesome or if Ragnar is looking forward to one, He is not in the middle and I would think that if he was just the meat in the sandwich he would be.

It's tv. No reason to spend the shooting time unless it was a "threesome." Just sharing the bed could have been ignored completely, or tossed off with a line of dialogue. No, we needed to see Ragnar's twinkling eyes, and that tells us what we need to know. Bomp-chicka-bomp!

I was thinking it might just be a promo shot.  That's why I asked for a timeline ... how did this actually happen?  After slaughtering the family and the headbutting Ragnar asks Lagertha if she's free later how about joining him and the current wife? 

I'm new to ptv, so this is my first Vikings comment, although I have avidly watched every episode at least once.

 

My take on the threesome is that Lagertha is a grown woman and if she didn't want to, she wouldn't. She has long gotten over Ragnar dumping her for Aslaug and even gets along with Aslaug, so Lagertha is not some sad-sack scorned ex-wife. She wants what she wants, and if she wanted a threesome with her ex and his wife, so be it.

 

Plus, you can't frame it in today's culture, where monogamy is prized. Having multiple wives was common among the Vikings, esp. a high-ranking one like Ragnar. At least he has one wife at a time. Having a threesome with your (ex)husband and another woman was probably not such a big deal as it would be today.
