Osud bojovníka (S03E03)

Bitka dobrá a Torsteinov epický skon topový. Pasáž s pútnikom je zaujímavá, je tajomný a tak to má byť. Čo sa týka pasáže vo Wessexu tak je to ja chcem jebať ju a a ona chce jebať mňa (kto videl chápe, kto pozrie pochopí) ale aspoň konečne mal Egbert v tej vani nejaké tie ženské, len škoda, že tento seroš neukáže aj nejakú tú nahotu.

Tak nevím, něco je špatně, když už mě nedostane do nálady ani bitevní vřava. Boj jako takový byl opět zvládnut na slušné úrovni, ale jeho úvod s jednorukým banditou jsem příliš nepobral. Chápu, že důležitou postavu chtěli tvůrci nechat odejít tak, abych si to zapamatoval, ale jaký v tom byl jiný význam? Kdyby za sebou alespoň táhl provaz a dvojím škubnutím dal signál, že po něm jdou, fajn, ale takhle? Telepatie? Opravdu zajímavý byl pro mě jen obřad před první setbou. (13.05.2018)

Torsteinova chuť bojovať prekonáva veľa hrdinstiev tohto seriálu. Dokonalé využitie hrdinu. Bitky výborné, taktické, Ecbertov syn dokonca snažiaci sa o priateľstvo a práve jemu príkladne odpovedá Rollo. Ecbert sa zatiaľ zbližuje s Lagerthou, spolu farmárčia a Athestan spovedá jeho nevestu, ktorá má mimomanželské chúťky. Wanderer je zaujímavá postava, možno jednou ruokou dáva a druhou berie. Každopádne niekoho takto manipulatívneho sme tu ešte nemali a je záhadou, prečo sa bard zjavil až takto neskoro, v tretej sérii. (11.12.2022)

Ragnar s Ekbertovým synom dosiahnú dôležité víťazstvo, zatiaľ čo proti Lagerthe sa chystá vzbura v jej domovine. Flokimu sa nepáči, že po boku Ragnara bojuje za kresťanov, čo stojí život Torsteina. Ekbert sa zbližuje s Lagerthou. Ako inak nechýba víťazstvo Ragnara v bitke a Torstein s gangrénou a jednou rukou bez problémov skolí vojaka z Mercie, na tieto scény sme si už viac menej zvykli a všetci Ragnarovi súperi sa na bitevnom poli naďalej správajú strašne naivne.

"I want to tell you of the time that I went to Utgard. I traveled east until I came to that band of water that divides the world of men from Jotunheim. I walked for many miles without seeing a soul. But then, finally I reached a huge hall. Large amounts of giants, they were all lounging on benches. One giant, who I took to be the king, he asked me if I had any skill. I told him that I could drink and that I doubted whether anyone in that hall could drink as much as me. He asked his cup bearer to bring his sconce-horn. He said some men there took two draughts to empty it, but nobody was so feeble that they couldn't drain it in three. I took enormous gulps, until I was breathless. But when I finished, I saw that the level of the drink was just a little bit lower than when I started. So the king, he asked me if I wanted to try my hand at some other type of contest. I demanded that he let me wrestle with someone. She was called Elli. She was his old foster-mother. She was a horrible old crone, who came in hobbling with a stick. I hurled myself upon her! But the moment that I laid hands on her, I realized she was strong. And she caught me in a lock and threw me off balance. I clung to her desperately, but after a struggle, I was forced to one knee and so I lost. I told the King that he had put me to shame. He confessed to using spells to trick me. He said he could scarcely believe his eyes when I drank from the horn because the other end was in the sea. He said that when I got back to the ocean, that I would see how much it had ebbed with my efforts. He said it was a marvel that I had withstood her for so long, because Elli is old age. No one can withstand old age in the end. You're right. I was Thor. The thunder god! But even so, I was still there. And I saw it all with my own eyes." (22.12.2018)
