Well this was a depressing ep, again written by hirst. Good plan by ragnar !!!!!!!! lol and he is gone now, he sure got fat and ugly in 4 seasons !
So Ivar is the star male viking now, and the look he gave at end was good, he wasnt happy about his mom being killed, so could be trouble for lagertha later on.
I dont see these vikings as capable of taking on the english, but maybe with Rollo and the others when they get back.
I guess ragnars plan was to get revenge on ecbert, but to get his sons to do it for him if he goes there and lets them kill him.
Hirst's writing is awful, he has some good things, but mostly it is crap.

Well, I agree, that was an awful and one of the worst Vikings eps ever. Last week they ruined Lagertha. This week they finally ended Ragnar's story with this load of crap (his character more or less was already ruined). That whole plan of deliberately getting killed to get his sons focused again on the Saxons just out of revenge is such a bullshit and poorly made up. After all his sons already only saw an old, crazy man in him. Nobody besides Ivar cared enough to follow him on his raid and now they suddenly would want to bring down hell on the Saxons just to revenge him?? What a bullshit!! Also the acting of Egbert was just weird and unlogic. If he meant what he said, when he was speaking of Ragnar even as a friend (and it sounded believable), then there definitely would have been the possibility for a deal. So you are right, the writing is a desaster and I'm close to drop this show ... I don't see how the characters of the sons (including Ivar!) can ever be as interesting as Ragnar's, Rollo's and Lagertha's in S1 and S2.
Taking all that aside and considering what terrible things Ragnar has done in his life, I would say he actually got what he deserved. No Ivar will take care of Lagertha and there we might get the reboot the show so desperately needs, hopefully focusing more on actual history again.
