Things are finally getting interesting. This is by far the best episode of the season so far. Episodes 1 and 2 were good, but this one was amazing. I'm not even gonna discuss the first half of the episode because the climax is so incredible.
The confrontation at the end was one of the intense moments in the whole series, and that's saying a lot. Even though I knew thorfinn and einar couldn't possibly die here, my heart was still beating so fast. Although einar's fight with the master's son was great, thorfinn steals this episode. Ironically, even though he stands still the whole time, I think this scene is thorfinn at his most powerful. Not only powerful physically, since he's able to withstand dozens and dozens of cuts, even his ear and face, but he's also incredibly powerful mentally. We finally see the consequences of all the pain and suffering he went through during season 1. Now, he truly has nothing to lose. He wasn't bluffing, he legitimately didn't care if he died right there. And that is scary. I cannot wait to see thorfinn in action this season because he is going to be unstoppable.
Thankfully, their master stops the "fight" before fox can cut thorfinn's eye out. It's not like thorfinn would've cared haha, but I'm still glad he can still see. The master punching fox at the end was so satisfying! He's a great villain though. I loved how cold and uncaring fox's monologue was, about how even though the slaves didn't do anything wrong, he can still decide what to do with their lives. He deserved that punch sooo bad after that speech. Overall, this is the first amazing episode of the season. 9/10, can't wait to see this season become a masterpiece.
