Hey everyone!  Here's my reaction to episode 13 of Vinland Saga!  Whoa, just when I thought I knew where we were going on this show, they throw me a huge detour!  Poor Canute is painfully shy, although I did feel at one point in this ep that he was starting to come out of that just a tiny bit, when he actually started speaking (yelling actually lol) to Thorfinn.  So that opening scene COMPLETELY threw me off, and it wasn't until well into the episode that I realized it was ASKELADD!!!  As if being a ruthless but weirdly deep and poetic Viking wasn't enough of a job description for him, now we learn that he is part Welsh, and a descendant of the guy who King Arthur was based on?!?!  No wonder he had some concerns about the king in the last few episodes....there is much more to Askeladd than I thought!  Great ep, can't wait to see where we go with this!  Enjoy!  ~ MH

They really go into the importance of legacy in this episode. On the surface it looks like Thorfinn is following in his father's footsteps as a warrior when the truth is far from it. Askeladd has the weight of a whole country on his back and only a few people even know. And Canute is clearly the least favored son of a despotic ruler, of course he tried to blend in. Taking charge and finding his own destiny should be a challenging experience.

Askeladd is so straightforward with his self desires, at times, not so straightforward with how to achieve them.

That's so true! I didn't even think of that, that legacy is a major theme of this episode. I'm worried for Canute, but the fact that he's started talking is a step in the right direction I suppose lol! I'll be so curious to see where everyone's stories go from here. We've broadened so much beyond just following Thorfinn's story now!

Good point!!!! I was surprised that there was so much more to Askeladd than I had originally thought....!!
