- TriviaYou can hear many different languages in the scene where the English soldiers deliver the empty coin carts, for example, the Finnish language where someone yells "nyt se tulee".
- GoofsThey use the term Viking to refer to any Northman. Viking is the title of the Northmen that went on raids. Since only men went on raids in reality the title would never be used for a girl.

Fool me once.......
The Vikings are back for more treasure in Northumbrian. I think Northumbrian people are the most foolish people alive. They were caught off guard in the first attack so that was understandable but the second time? Come on. No plans or anything. Well, they do have a plan but they had to wait until the Vikings set up their camps and have a good night sleep first before they attack but they are not there to sleep now are they? I thought attacking the Saxons at night was a brilliant idea. Since they don't want to attack why don't the Vikings take the opportunity and attack first? Two big battles ensued between the Vikings and the Saxons but of course the Vikings have the upper hand, of course! (I'm sensing a little case of plot armor) There even an attempt for a negotiation and surprisingly the Vikings are not the ones that go back on their words. The episode ends with King Aelle swearing that he will one day bring the Vikings to justice. Yeah well good luck with that dude.
On the whole, the story is getting a bit interesting by expanding on the world that was established in the previous episodes. The production value remains top-notch, the battle sequences are tense and brutal, the musical score is atmospheric and the performances are good all around.
