- Quotes
Rollo: [to Ragnar and Floki who are arguing about why they fight for the Christians and risk losing their own people] Both of you, save your breath. We have a mountain to climb. Some of us will not see a dawn like this again... not here on Midgard, at any rate. So, let us try and speak well of each other... no matter how much we have been through together.

Featured review
Our blood for their land
Third episode delivers abundance of content, both from spiritual and also warfare aspects. The Prince's last stand is imminent while cultural difference between the British and Vikings are starting to fully emerge. Suffice to say, almost every characters make some sort of development in this bloody episode.
In the home ground the arrival of the mysterious man, who could very well be a shaman, disturbs Siggy (Jessalyn Gilsig). She's the wiser one of the stay-at-home ladies, more to her past experience. Gilsig has settled in the character who undergoes different pace than her past cloak-and-dagger vibe. She's now pragmatically invested in everyone's wellbeing. It's interesting to see how they would deal with the visitor.
Turmoil begins after the skirmish plays out. Ragnar receives some opposition regarding the raid, in which the Vikings don't really benefit from. Meanwhile Torstein has another great scene to his name, an aptly fitting one. One of the better developments occurs for Bjorn's benefit. It's been a while since he's trapped in his romancing stint, this is an opportunity for the character to grow.
Escalation also happens on the more peaceful settlement where Lagertha now resides. If there were whispers about the divide of culture, mainly due to tradition and deity, these voices are now thoroughly clamored after the British witness a dark side of the Viking's occult.
This episode is Vikings in full throttle, delivering everything audiences love about the series.
