[gods_that_haunt_me]

Under the cut are my reactions that I posted on my Facebook while watching this episode live. Perhaps I'll be more articulate and coherent once we get to discussing stuff.



- LADY VIKINGS BE LIKE FUCKING NINJAS IN THE NIGHT

- HOLY JESUS WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING

- WATCHING A VIKING ATTACK IS LIKE WATCHING A HOCKEY GAME. I SHOUT EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS AT THE TV.

- RAGNAR THIS IS FREAKY WHAT IS GOING ON

- OHHH SNAP VIKING BEHEADING FAKEOUT

- ECBERT & CO: WORST FAMILY DINNER EVER

- jfc ragnar laying down the law

- BAPTIZE ME BITCH

- OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT

I'm good with this!

So the way I see it, we can handwave that Floki has also been told the news before the next time he comes into Milliways.

[yakalskovich]

Yes, absolutely -- he will have been told it when he returned with Ragnar, before they went out again with more men to fight Jarl Borg and Rollo. I still don't want for Ragnar to know Gyda's in Milliways, though, as that would take away the poignancy from his grief in 2.01 when he talks to her just before Aslaug appears with her royal baby bump.
