I'd really love to write some bad language here, in complete disgust… Unfortunately, this is the wrong arena to do so. Now…season 5 episode 5 finds a massive English army entering York completely empty, not yet knowing that the Viking hoards are waiting below them (in the sewer system, no less) yet are allowed to suddenly force their way out by way of ladders, through 3x3 foot hatches and back up to the interior surface of the castle interior, then somehow miraculously overcome the English army!! The English are so surprised as they watch them, one by one, squeeeeeeze their way out, that they run in fright, rather than lower their swords down onto their heads, during the feeble attempt!!! This entire scenario is so over the top illogical and yet the producers & directors expect the viewing audience to swoon in disbelief as the Vikings win the battle?! Next: we suddenly see Ivar…THE BONELESS…walking around on both boneless legs (and one crutch) DOING GREAT, while smuggly flaunting his stupendous victory?! HOW DID HE CRAWL UP THE LADDER to the surface while wielding his weapons of destruction?!
I felt so let down as this trend is so typical with series which begin with such promise.
Season 4 immediately slides into absurdly nonsensical tripe.
