Treachery

Episode 3 of this season is simply outstanding from start to finish. From the first few minutes, there's a constant tension that never lets go. It doesn't rely on large-scale war to impress-the weight of every decision, stare, and betrayal hits like a punch.

The small-scale fights are shot with raw intensity. They're not over-choreographed or flashy-they feel grounded, fast, and brutal. That makes them more impactful, more real, and emotionally heavier.

Rollo's redemption arc truly begins here. His shame is visible, his remorse feels genuine, and his efforts to regain honor are finally earning respect. This episode signals that he's not just "the traitor"-he's someone trying to rebuild.

Ragnar remains a complex leader, trying to balance politics, power, family, and inner values. His moments with Aslaug show that he's caught between what he wants and what he's expected to be. That human struggle adds depth to his character.

The direction in this episode is flawless-the atmosphere, music, pacing, and even silence are all used perfectly to build emotional and narrative tension. I give it a 10, because it's not just entertaining-it moves the characters forward in a natural, meaningful way, and reminds us that the deepest battles are often the personal ones.

Ragnar, King Horit and their men attack the monastery of Winchester and they plunder their treasure. Meanwhile Lagherta has problems with her marriage with Earl Sigvard and Bjorn hates his stepfather that is a brutal man. In Kattegat, Auslag delivers her third son and she calls him Sigurd. King Ecbert invites Ragnar to meet him. In Kattegat, Jarl Borg decides to invade the village and Rollo has an important participation defending the village, Auslag and her sons.

"Treachery" is another great episode of "Vikings". Jarl Borg makes a wrong move and he will certainly have of face Ragnar's wrath. Rollo shows his importance defending Kattegat and this redemption will certainly improve his relationship with his brother. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Treachery"

Continuing from an amazing s1 with an incredibly strong story and performances from all.

I love the Viking series, but Michael Hirst didn't care about being historic accurate at all. The episode starts with King Ecbert speaking about his time when he lived at the court of Emperor Charlemagne.

He was with a Charlemagne's party at a harbor town in Southern Gaul. Gaul was the the region inhabited by the ancient Gauls, comprising modern-day France and parts of Belgium, western Germany, and northern Italy, Southern Gaul at a harbor town would be.

Narbonensis was Southern Gaulle, and that included Marseille. Maybe the were at harbor town at the river rhone so the Northmen could only have come through the medeterian sea. Before they even found Enland they sailed across the North Sea and the English Channel and sailing across the Atlantic ocean passing Gaul's Western coastline, passing through the strait of gibraltar entering the Medeterian sea.

The episode was entertaining.
