Absolutely LOVE the show, now it's time for the books.

Destiny Is All!

I laughed my ass off. Everything from “Unless you know some other Uhtred” to “Uhtred of Bebbanburg?! Uhtred the impostah, yes!!” I’m DEAD 🤣🤣🤣

What an amazing episode this was, I cried for the first time when it started raining, I literally said “Amen” out loud! And then I cried again when Uhtred started crying. 😭

I stayed up until 6am lol. Can’t believe I finished it, that’s it…no more “I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred” ☹️What now? Oh wait, I still got the movie! Feel free to recommend some other shows/movies if you can think of any good ones! Thanks!

[Alfred]: Uhtred...I wish to give over to you my son, for a second time,and for the same reason as the first. To ensure he lives. Say nothing. Say nothing. Not yet. All I ask is that you remain in Winchester until he is crowned king. Then you can do as you please. You can go north. You can reclaim your lands.

[Uhtred]: I am an outlaw, Lord.

[Alfred]: No longer. You are hereby...pardoned.

[Uhtred]: On condition I agree to remain in Winchester?

[Alfred]:You are pardoned regardless of your decision.And if beyond that door my wife has summoned guards, which is likely, I will dismiss them.

I have made my peace. I have made my request. I do not require an answer.

[Uhtred]: Thank you, Lord...for correcting your mistake.

[Alfred]: I should have closed my eyes and rattled at Heaven's gates some time ago. It was the hope of this meeting that has kept me alive.

To Uhtred, the true Lord of Bebbanburg... a man I have never understood, but without whom I would not die a king.

As a first time watcher who hasn’t been enjoying S5 that much, I gotta say that this has been the most infuriating moment so far. Soooo annoying! Literally the only moment that actually made me mad lol.

I’ve grown to really like Haestan so I’m kind of annoyed by his death. What I don’t understand is this, wasn’t Haestan a viking/Dane? If yes then how come he didn’t try put his hands around the sword so he can get to Valhalla? Am I missing something? Isn’t that what they do?

All in all, I wasn’t expecting him to die like this, or at all…

There could be worse reading spots than the adriatic sea to read the books for the first time!:)
I really love the book Uhtred, he‘s a bit more difficult than the TV Uhtred.

“[inhales softly]” is right cuz that’s all she’s doing 🤣

Man so many of these actors just CANNOT cry to save their lives. Like this girl, the actress that plays Stiorra couldn’t cry when they sentenced HER OWN HUSBAND to death and even AFTER they killed him. They showed her face in so many scenes and not a single tear came out 🤣

Thank God for Dreymon’s acting skills!!

Disclaimer: I’m a first time watcher, and I’m binging. Finally made it to S5 and I’m kinda worried I’m getting close to the end...

Such a great show, but what I don’t understand is why they couldn’t do prosthetics or something. Even when she wasn’t sick I still think the daughter looks older than the mom, either that or the mom just has a baby face idk. So far imo that and Uhtred’s accent are the only 2 things that they could’ve done better.

Either way, it’s a great show and I’m not looking forward to its end.

Hi everyone, first time watcher here. I’ve been binging and I’m on s5 right now and so far I’m not happy with this season. They killed Osferth and he was so baby 😭😭😭 He was such a kewtie patootie, wise, and pure-hearted idk but I loved him so I’m sad that he’s gone. Did he die in the books too?

I’m not enjoying this season as much,idk…

* Æ…..(forgot her name) Lady of Mercia:

I personally didn’t care much for her and Uhtred’s romance so I’m not that sad about her death. I liked her when she was first introduced and had that thing w Erick (loved him) but didn’t care much for her after that idk. In terms of the other characters, I like

* Sytrigr: Love him, he’s pretty cool. I also like that at least one of Uhtred’s kids is somewhat Dane (Stiorra).

* Lady Æ**** (king Alfred’s wife): Im digging her character arch, she’s less… evil (for lack of a better term) this season and she even has some funny lines. I died when she said “Do not pull that face!” lmao

* Edward’s wife’s dad: This man is so annoying. Can’t stand him.

* Brida: Almost as annoying as that old man, and I don’t get her anger towards Uhtred and or why she blamed God for her daughter’s death smh 🤦🏼‍♀️ she literally died cuz of her. I think I only liked her when Ragnar died and her and Uhtred were working together to avenge him.

* Edith: IMO this is the prettiest female actress on this show so far, I sorta thought she was gonna get w Uhtred or Finan, I was surprised when he married someone else.

But yeah, still love the show, I just feel like I was more invested in the earlier seasons. Looking forward to finishing this so I can watch the movie and ask u guys for some other recommendations.

That is Destiny is all. ⚔️

PS: Sorry about the Æ names, I genuinely can’t keep up and or remember any of them, they all sound so similar😭

I'm sorry but this scene was hilarious...
