This has almost become parody. We have a pseudo-buddha, Lagertha, oh-so-wise crone, a poor portrayal of alcoholism in a young man with PTSD and, all the silliness of Game of Thrones (the TV version). As if Bjorn and crew would not know a trap after all their decades of experience and I don't just mean their ability to smell suspicious chemicals. Honestly. Why do those in charge of what start off being such promising viewing, once finding their financial footed egos, end up destroying their creations?

In other words, all pretty young women have designs on being queen. All men are ponderous and stupid, whilst at the same time cunning enough to have plans that their minions gladly carry out. It's damned silly to the point of one of the later main characters bearing a disturbing resemblance to televisions GOT's Jamie, another his diminutive brother and, this has gone on long enough.
