Askeladd throwing away his sword and still winning tells you everything. His speech to Thorfinn about having learned nothing is brutal and completely true. A decade of revenge built on nothing. The boy is finally forced to hear it.

Difficult times make strong men. The past of Askelaad was good to see as it gave a proper insight to his intentions and why he thinks a certain way. Brutal and calculative. Dont wait for a saviour. Be one. Strong messaging. A great watch.

This episode explains a lot of Askeladd's relationship with Throfinn. It's not just that he only keep him for use but he also sees himself in him. Driven by revenge yet mindless, makes him believe that Thorfinn is just another Viking, but like he can tell by the face he's more.

As a fan of Askeladd, this episode reveals the depth of his belief, intelligence and loyalty. For Thorfinn, it reveals how trapped he is. His path becomes more narrow and driven purely by hatred. While Askeladd becomes more layered. This contrast makes their relation more tragic,

The music in this episode made the tension so much better! Askeladd's backstory was pretty haunting, too. He and Thorfinn have had the same deep and dark experience in their lives and been so much through at a young age. The scene at the end was just perfect and painful.
