Vikings 4x18 Reaction

here i am again uploading at 2am

yes, we know vikings is tomorrow, actually for us it's a day after at 2-3am, so you'll get episodes 19 and 20 before the episode airs i promise, we're gonna edit everything tomorrow and post it

now back to this episode.
im tired and i have to wake up early to edit, so im just gonna talk about the revenge, and i think that's the most important part. but this episode was one of our favorites of the show which i why we pretty much left the whole ending in, so the chances of this getting blocked are pretty high

i think we may be the only people who cried at aelle getting tortured, of course no tears were shed for that piece of shit.
by now everyone knows we made a break for 2 months after 4x15, we didn't even know if we were gonna continue, and i think seeing this episode and finally seeing that revenge got the better of us. but also we were angry for a long time and aelle dying gave some sort of closure and just relief that it was over, not that is was over for the characters cause they still haven't finished getting revenge, but for us who just held that anger for 2 months.
but also we realized nothing would be enough. there isn't a punishment or anything they could do to him that would feel enough or that would make ragnars death less painful, but we already knew that.

i think the scene where floki shows up with the rest of the army is truly one of the greatest scenes i have seen. it gave me chills the first time i watched it, it gave me chills when i edited it. they skipped the battle but honestly there wasn't even a battle to show, it was a 50:1 ratio, that would be done in a second so we didn't mind that at all.

what i really loved was how they showed the different reactions of all his sons, and the face that killed us and that we could relate to the most was bjorn. i think the rest of them didn't really grow up with ragnar, but bjorn did. when they talked about ragnar in 4x10 and they all said what they had about their father bjorn said ''he's still the greatest man in the world to me'' and that quote still sticks with me. they showed us the face of each son while they were torturing aelle and, unlike the others, there was no satisfaction or 'happiness' on bjorns face, and i think he also knew that nothing would be enough nor would anything help fill the void. i think that was really well portrayed, at least it was for us who interpreted it that way.

i really don't know if any of this made sense cause im tired and at this point don't even know what im writing, but i hope you at least know what i was trying to say

thank you for watching, see you tomorrow and i can't believe we'll get the next episode in a little over 24 hours, im sure everyone waited for it longer than me and milena did xx
