Been waiting for this 🙏

It didn't catch me on my first watch, but really loved what you mentioned in your discussion: Olmar washing up on shore...a powerful callback to Thors in E1 all that time back. When he's underwater and kills his enemy for the last time, and he finally realises he has to let go of his sword so he can swim up to the surface, into the light. Then, reborn out of the sea he walks away from the battle. Here is Olmar who in some ways wants so desperately to be a warrior but says the sword is too heavy to carry and fights his way to shore. He's briefly taken away from the battle because of the 'weakness' that he's been mocked for the entire season but we know that this weakness--this softness in him--is this vital shred of humanity that his brother doesn't have. Adding, again, to the idea of what makes a 'true warrior'. This also makes me think about how Olmar and Thorgil really represent the two sides of Ketil. In the first half of the season you think Olmar is the one who takes after his father but since Episode 18 the audience comes to realise Thorgil and his father are more alike than we realised. Ketil's cowardice and 'weakness' were what preserved his morality before. Now we see his true colours--him promising to settle the debt of those who fight for him feels like an ugly exploitative twist on the deal for freedom that he offered to Thorfinn and Einar so long ago, to work to buy their freedom...the show clearly is making this statement, that the original deal itself was tainted in some ways...no one should have to be bound to another to be free.
