The episode felt longer than it should. It has a bad pace, at times nothing interesting or even remotely relevant seemed to be happening.

Anyway, worst of all was the bear fight scene. It was so cringeworthy and badly-executed that I was hoping to end sooner. I get it, this is no Revenant and Bjorn is no Leo, but still, that bear didn't look perilous at any moment of the whole scene. It moved slower than my grandpa and it took worse decisions than a toddler.

The good parts of the episode were the Athelstan apparition, which gave me goosebumps and was neatly done, and the Berserker part, which unfortunately only lasted a couple of seconds.

Oh, and the episode should've been called "Bjorn screaming", it would've made so much more sense.
