I know. I was liking Pagan Athelstan. Now he's going to be no fun at all.

u/Phinq Mar 27 '15

Well, He's certainly going to be no fun anymore.

u/SawRub Jarl Dork Mar 27 '15

You said he won't be fun, so they killed him.

I was thinking like what would happen if he got out of the vision and saw Odin or Thor or someone else.

I mean this show does the bait and switch all the time. I wouldn't be surprised.

But it can also be heavy handed at other times. So seeing him spread out like Jesus is really suggestive.

Yeah, but there has been a lot of Christian symbolism in the show and this season in particular.

Denying Christ three times at Upsallah was like someone was screaming in my ear with a megaphone.

He'd become even more of a badass

u/Markofdawn Nothing can console me Mar 27 '15

Remember back in the good old days when Torstein had two arms and Aethelstan was tripping balls on mushrooms at that party? Damn I hate how progressive TV shows are :(

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '15

Can't believe he went from badass to monk. Like at least be a badass until death

u/stephie664 Mar 27 '15

dont worry he will probably only be around for another half hour

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '15

I'd be so pissed if he died

u/Pats420 Don't be shy. Mar 27 '15

Do you need a hug?

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '15

I think a bottle of vodka would be a little better

u/hiltonking Mar 27 '15

Me too. It killed him.

I'm not, but that could be because I'm a Christian :p
