Although this episode wasn't a mix of blood and war (like the last one), I really think this one has to be this way. Some people are calling it boring, but I guess they don't see the beauty in the calm after a big storm.
The way the saxons come along with Ubbe and Torvi, the way the dream of Ragnar was finally fullfilled, are just some of the reasons why this episode was accurate. But more importantly, the scene when Alfred signs the document and all the saxons applaude the vikings, I would say that it is marvelous. Thinking of this two seasons earlier wasn't even possible.
Let's not forget how Hvitserk finds a new religion and starts thinking in another way, and this could lead in more knowledge. The way Bjorn was beated by the catholicism when he was in the new lands, proves that indeed he is a Ragnar's son, and cannot get along with the idea that he has to settle down in that place, under the catholicist rules.
My real rating would be 8/10 because i found some errors in the way Bjorn goes away without saying a thing or protesting against Ubbe. I give this 10-star rating because I want to raise the overall
