    Alliances Forged in Fists

    This episode delivers both intensity and humor, balancing raw Viking brawls with unexpected moments of levity. The fight between Ubbe and Bjorn crackles with tension, only to be hilariously interrupted by a fearless shieldmaiden. Meanwhile, the alliance between King Hvitserk and Bjorn adds a layer of intrigue to the coming conflicts. It's a chapter that reminds us that even in war, personal rivalries and bonds shape the fate of kings.

    Engaging Episode

    Floki enters in the cave expecting to find his gods and has a huge surprise. Ubbe has to fight King Frodo in a brutal combat where only one will survive. Bjorn and Harald join forces with Hvitserk and King Olaf to invade Kattegat and overthrown Ivar.

    "What Happens in the Cave" is an engaging episode of "Vikings". Floki is again the pointless and annoying segment> Judith is gone and the choreography of the fight between Ubbe and Frodo is impressive. And Ivar will have to use his strategy knowledge to win the battle in Kattegat. My vote is eight,

    THE GODS LOVE US

    This episode reminded me why i love this show so much. The storylines were a bit slow over the season but this episode started to tie up their loose ends. I have high hopes for the season finale. Dont dissapoint me.

    Vikings is saved

    Fantastic episode and brought back the good old vikings feel. Looking forward to the finale and seasons to come.
