I watched Revenge tonight. Yeah, kinda disappointing. Yes, it was pretty satisfying seeing King Aelle get his comeuppance, but it would have been far better showing the preceding battle. He could have started out all bravado and bluster, and then gradually realised that he was screwed as the battle went on and his men were getting killed all around him..
I'm sure King Ecbert still has a few tricks up his sleeve, but am I the only one to find Prince Aethelwulf to be very annoying?
I think there's probably enough story left for Season 5, but I think they should probably leave it there. I think the fight for Kattegat will probably be one half of the story, with whatever Ivar gets up to in England the second half of it. I think we're going to see a bit of a transition from a warrior culture to that of trade and commerce, but just guessing..
