Seriously, what the hell was this? Why did they show Rollo and Ragnar punching each other in slow motion? All it did was break the immersion and make ir clear as day that they weren't hitting each other at all. Also, they "punched" each other for like 5 minutes straight, both of their faces are bloody as heck, yet you can't see a single cut, bruise, broken nose, or even light scratch on either of them? Then there is the scene where Lagertha gets stabbed and you can clearly see the squared off tip of the sword that hit her, again, due to the dramatic use of slow motion that just did not work. This is the worst episode in this show so far for me, and I think it's only so highly rated because people will love any fight scene you give them.
Underwhelming would be a heck of an understatement for what this episode was. It was complete and utter garbage.
