This is very difficult. I own the first 4 seasons of this show and watched multiple times. The first half of season 5 was ok. This half is poor. Very poor. No lead characters, no lead storyline, the actors are sad, the scenes are sad. Remember when this show had great battle scenes, great acting. No more.
Here's a breakdown of the mess this week: In Katagot (Denmark/Norway? Who knows, the show doesn't even know), Ivar the Terrible Actor's wife kills her sperm donner. Wow, who could have seen that coming. Ivar is played so dumb that he believes he's a god and that he fathered this woman's child. He insinuates that he will sacrifice the only brother that stayed beside him.
Floki is still tripping with a bunch of losers, spitting bad dialogue and bad scenes. Floki should have had veto powers in his contract: NO STUPID DIALOUGE OR SCENES!
England, Harold in Viking held York trying to conspire against Ivar the Terrible Actor. Poor acting, poor dialogue. Just plain sad. Ubbe and Torvi convert to Jesus. Ubbe's acting is highlighted with low level Ragnar facial twitches and sniffles, while Bjoke looks on with sniffles of his own, and spits a loogie! Alfred weds his two timing wife. Nothing can save Alfred's acting. Alfred's brother is conspiring against his brother for the, wait for it, "THE THRONE THAT HE GAVE UP!" Bjoke, yes joke, is approached by "Magnus" the bastard exiled son of Ragnar and Cwinthrop.
Poor acting, poor scenes, no lead character, no lead story. Just a continuation of cheap soap opera from last episode. Very sad. It's like watching your favorite band playing cheap poor cover tunes of bands that they inspired. Please go back to whatever you did to produce the early great episodes.
