Season 6, Episode 14: 'Lost Souls'.
**spoilers below**
This was easily the most boring episode thus far from the second half of Season 6 and possibly the most boring episode of the entire season.
What happened in this episode? Well...
Operation Get Igor Out managed to be a succees and consequently Oleg went crazy (well...moreso than usual), but unfortunately didn't accidentally burn himself to death when he was knocking over stuff, causing fire everywhere during his hissy fit.
Igor is now with Oleg's brother...who I seemed to recall had a big ol' metal ring through the side of his face, yet he looks remarkably unscarred by that. In fact, Ivar was looking more scarred than him (what was that even from? Hvitserk beating him up?). When he was telling Ivar he 'loved' him I was rolling my eyes (and felt a bit ill). If only he knew half the stuff Ivar had done...actually, scratch that. Ivar fanboys/fangirls don't even CARE what Ivar's done, they just love him regardless. Clearly Igor is now one of them.
Speaking of telling people you 'love' them, I wonder if Katia thought it weird when Ivar said he loved her no matter who she is. Did she think to herself, "What an odd thing to say."? We still have yet to get a concrete answer of why she's the doppelganger of Freydis. Good on her for managing to keep her clothes pristine white in amongst all the grubby/dirty people and surroundings.
I was waiting for Ubbe to ask Torvi, "Didn't you have two of those?" in reference to her being minus a child. She's a good supportive wife, but also voices her concerns, whereas Ubbe just seems to agree with whatever Othere or Kjetill have to say (when he's not getting visits from the Seer. This show's been pretty consistent with dead characters never being brought back - much like characters who were offed on Game of Thrones never returned - but the Seer seems to be the one exception).
As for Kjetill...hoarding a dead whale and claiming it's on his 'property' can't possibly end well for him. Not that I'll be in any way broken up over it backfiring on him when it does. After all, he's the jerk who decided to ironically call a land with no trees 'Greenland'. He deserves whatever's coming his way.
Meanwhile, Erik got a promotion to being Harald's bodyguard after decapitating his previous one (so much for Adam Copeland having competition for biggest hulking guy on the show. That dude didn't last long at all) and it seems Harald's determined to be Bjorn 2.0 by planning to marry both Gunnhild and Ingrid. Honestly, I just wish the two women would conspire together to off him and co-rule (as much as I don't like Ingrid). It'd certainly be better than Harald being King ofCatgut Kattegat (WHY does everyone what to rule this one place? What exactly is so great about it??). Hell, they even showed Gunnhild hiding a knife on her person when Harald came to talk to her. How I hope she delivers on her promise to slit his throat (though I realise It's not likely going to happen).
The only interesting part was Gunnhild talking to stuffed Bjorn and his horse about the Golden Age of the Vikings being over now that Ragnar, Lagertha and Bjorn himself are gone.
You said it, Gunnhild!
