I watched all 4 seasons between you uploading 4x7 and 4x8, so at least I'm here for the last 3 episodes. Probably wouldn't have watched without your reactions, so cheers man, great show. Much love. Oh and I really, really like Sigtryggr
Ironic that Aelswith didn't like "Standing by while men made stupid decisions". If it had been up to her Alfred would have executed Uthred in season one then fled to Frankia when Guthrum captured Winchester and the Danes would rule the entire island. Aelswith also preferred to let Edward die of fever than have a pagan help him recover. Good thing her input was ignored in that situation. She's probably the most consistent character when it comes to making shit decisions.
It's a shame you didn't include the Welsh King trying to take back the fortress that Sigtryggr is in as that would have have already shown how strategic and clever he is as a warrior. He trapped them and then disposed of them really quickly. The actor is Icelandic just for info.
Niiiice good episode. I think when it comes to Sigtrygger, the new Dane, he seems like an very intelligent man. I think Warriors respect a man who can lead them to victory. It’s not just brute strength that wins the battle. He seems like a very intelligent warrior, and if that’s the case then maybe it’s his intellect that makes him scary. Because he could be like Alfred, not necessarily a powerhouse of strength but definitely a powerful intellectual force. A wise man is scarier because he’ll think of things beyond what the average man can. I saw Alfred like that. I can sorta get a sense of that with Sigtryggr... Almost done with the season. Really want season 5 already lol
Where's proof of that intelligence? All he wanted was to sit on his arse in Wales. If it wasn't for Brida, that would have been the end of his story. We don't know what his warriors want, he don't speak with them, it's all about what he wants and they're to obey.
26:28 I actually think they mentioned at some point previously that Sigtryggr is a direct descendant of Ivar the Boneless in the show which would explain is careful planning and intelligence with strategy
6:32 Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love TLK but why in the hell Æthelflæd was not happy with Uhtred ruling temporary? She would have ruled anyway. Great season tho. Sigtryggr is the best!!!
From a history standpoint, it’s obvious why but you can’t use history as an excuse to justify writing. What I didn’t get is why she was so against Uhtred ruling without actually putting forward solutions or mention anyone better for that role. Hated Æthelflaed this episode.
Uhtred lived about two hundred years later then King Alfred's time. Uhtred is Bernard Cornwell's ancestor. Bernard Cornwell is the author of the TLK novels and wrote Uhtred into King Alfred's times for the story.
As much as I love the actor playing Father Pyrlig, I'm still grumpy that they didn't give it to a guy with a full-on Welsh accent since the character is from Wales, and it was fun listening to the audiobooks with the narrators reading his dialogue in that accent. I'm also vaguely disappointed that they made the scene where Uhtred gave the throne to Aethelflaed so serious, instead of the hilarious scene it was in the book. (Though, I understand why they didn't. It would have been a bit out of place in this episode.) They offer him the throne and they haggle over it until Uhtred makes them say he can choose whoever he wants as his successor. When they do, he sits down, then immediately abdicates and names Aethelflaed as his successor and hands her the crown, while the Wittan just stares in bemusement because he bamboozled them. It was great.
Well, it is true that there is a man in history called Uhtred the Bold that was the ruler of Northumbria. (He's also a distant ancestor of the author of the Last Kingdom book series, Bernard Cornwell.) HOWEVER, there is no way in hell that he's the same Uhtred, since Uhtred the Bold died over 100 years after the events of this story, in 1016CE. (The show is currently at 911CE, when Aethelred died and Aethelflaed became Lady of Mercia.) There was another ealdorman named Uhtred, but he's still a couple decades later than this story, and he wasn't the lord of Bamburgh (Bebbanburg), he was ruling in Derbyshire. The lord of Bebbanburg in this time was named Eadwulf, and after him was Ealdred. He's mostly fictional, but still plausible, which Bernard Cornwell is really good at. Fitting the fiction with historical reality like pieces of a puzzle.
I hated it in the show never read the book but to me Aethelflaed seemed jealous or something and acted like she could be a better ruler then uhtred when he's saved her ass like 5 times already lost land family and power in doing so if it was only to be for a couple years I don't see the harm oh well Uhtred giving up everything he has once again for a women that's not even his I hope he gets with the red head I'm sick if the Damsel in distress getting everything
Uhtred is a fictional character to tell the story through. There was an actual Uhtred who lived 200 years later & is a relative of the author of the books.
Honey, I have Uhtred's baptism saved on my phone, not blurred. 👀🤣 And members of my TLK fan group have confirmed that's Alexander Dreymon in all his glory and not a body double.😍
On show she laughed at her husband cause he considered himself a king, that was the first thing that ticked him off on their wedding night. But now she's a QuEeN.
Yeh uhtred was a person but I’m pretty sure it was a couple of hundred years later when he was alive, he wasn’t alive around the time of Alfred I think... but he was the lord of bebbenburgh (or however you spell it 😂)
Uhtred in history was really called Uhtred The Bold & didn't exist in the time of Alfred. Aethelred & Alfred worked together in real life & Aethelflead & Aethelred worked together to secure their countries from the Danes & there is no indication that Aethelred was abusive to Aethelflead in real life, they only had 1 child together, a daughter named, Aelfwynn, the birth was so difficult that Aethelflead sustained form sexual contact. Aethelred really died form an illness & so did Aethelflead rather than from breast cancer in the show.
Could have done without the spoiler at the end as some of us are watching this along with Sith. People shouldn't be commenting on what happens past whatever episode is being reacted to.
Honestly I can't really blame Edward for this. Aethelflead kept getting mad at him for any suitor for her daughter and she had a problem with everyone of them(reasonably so) but she felt like there was a better decision. Also I feel like he wouldn't be opposed to her ruling but the people didn't want her for it but all of a sudden they're fine with it???? Just trying to make Edward the villain for no reason if you ask me
Yup, he's made to be a scapegoat, but it was her treachery and stupidity that caused him to go to Mercia in first place. And she's acting like she knows better, but gives no solutions, other people do things for her, she's just using them and diposing of them when she doesn't need them anymore.
I guess I'm the only one who didn't like Brida this season. I'm not bashing anyone who is a fan of her but she is pregnant, how in the hell does she do all of these things like murder people and be ok?
I'm not sure you're supposed to be a big fan of her this season. You're supposed to see how she's changing, I think. So don't worry, I believe your reaction is wholly intentional on the writers' part.
I’m so disappointed with her arc. She’s butthurt that she was enslaved when she’s been killing Saxons and innocents throughout her life. Just not well written.
@@omar_elattar.6500 She's not butthurt she was enslaved, that happened to her earlier, she's angry that the same man was coming at her with told you so about Cnut a minute later did nothing to give her a way to Valhalla. Her whole world was destroyed that day and it was at the hands of a last person she had some kind of bond. Also all Danes killed Saxons and innocents and vice versa, if that puts you off, then what character do you enjoy on the show?
kosovitz And that scene was horribly written. Uhtred knows what it’s like to be a slave and to not even vouch for Brida was so out of character. And all the blame doesn’t go to Uhtred, Brida could’ve got Valhalla if she wanted. She had a knife and an axe, charge the Welsh, fight and die. Uhtred would’ve ensured she died with a weapon in hand. And she wasn’t enslaved earlier, she was imprisoned. Two very different things. Wait what? When did I say that? I never once said that a character killing innocents automatically makes me dislike them. It’s just that Brida’s motivations don’t make much sense and it’s beyond ridiculous how she’s still pregnant after barely being fed and fighting battles lol.
Martin Smith If there is a next season. Potentially may not be. I’m done with Brida anyways. I wish they followed her book counterpart because right now I’m bored of her.
I did not feel any true emotion between Uthred and Aethefled when they parted. Badly written I think especially when you compare it to another parting in another show. Felt like A betrayed U. I get tired of everybody betraying U, and him AND his men not getting any tangible reward.
I think that's partly due to the show only developing their romance this season, when in the books it's hinted at the very first book and they get intimate in book5/6 (season 3). I don't really like how they handled it in the show, but it is what it is
Hello Sith, please react to the official video game trailer for "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" from April 2020. I think you might like it, especially if you are a fan of the Vikings series that was on the History channel. Be well and Take care. Suzanne
Also how is she independent from wessex lol she can believe all she wants but her brother is the king and mother former Queen lol and she been doing their bidding went to war for wessex that part made no sense to me all I saw was her hating on uhtred when he's sacrifice everything for her Christian women ugg
No this show is also brilliant. I love Vikings too but it's more Hollywood-ised than this one. This one is more gritty and realistic to me as a British person anyway. It's actually quite bizarre to call it a 'nothing' show when anyone can tell it's highly entertaining and well written.

i guess I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
Man, when are you gonna upload season 5 reactions?
26:28 "Ivar-ish" LOL, you will understand later why this is funny.
I watched all 4 seasons between you uploading 4x7 and 4x8, so at least I'm here for the last 3 episodes. Probably wouldn't have watched without your reactions, so cheers man, great show. Much love.
Oh and I really, really like Sigtryggr
He has a mind similar to that of Ragnar in Vikings.
I get the point about Syytryyger being not brawny. But he has demonstrated and will in next episodes that he is brainy. Brains not brawn.
Sith throughout the episode, "what did I say" 😂😂
Ironic that Aelswith didn't like "Standing by while men made stupid decisions". If it had been up to her Alfred would have executed Uthred in season one then fled to Frankia when Guthrum captured Winchester and the Danes would rule the entire island. Aelswith also preferred to let Edward die of fever than have a pagan help him recover. Good thing her input was ignored in that situation. She's probably the most consistent character when it comes to making shit decisions.
She did start to make good decisions in season 4 tho
"I don't think it's gonna last that long, you know, his reign" How very right you were :D
the new viking reminds me alot like alfred in the way he thinks things through before moving forward
Finally Ælswith realized That Uhtred is the person that gave them all this fame
Honestly I think this shows better then Game of Thrones, but that's just me
I absolutely agree with you
Same here mate.
Are you saying overall or because of the last couple of seasons?
The last few seasons, I can agree. The first 4, though...
@@kaleomungin the last few ruined the first few for me so last kingdom overall is better for me but yeah because of the last few seasons
Can’t wait to watch your reaction to this episode, this episode sets up season 5 so perfectly (hoping Netflix will pay for another season)
Can't wait for S5, coming sometime this year!
S5 coming soon. First half of 2022

This is just on my weekly diary now
The Dane´s Name is Sigtryggr XD and i really like him and i´m sure you will also.
I really enjoy your thoughts and predictions on the show
Great reaction, Sith.....thx a lot, there is no better way to end the day!
That thumbnail won the Internet 😂
Brida has become the main antagonist dude...something look really familiar about this.
6:32 Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love TLK but why in the hell Æthelflæd was not happy with Uhtred ruling temporary? She would have ruled anyway. Great season tho. Sigtryggr is the best!!!
I think it would have been too far from the real history.
@@manchestertart5614 For sure. I was judging plotwise
From a history standpoint, it’s obvious why but you can’t use history as an excuse to justify writing. What I didn’t get is why she was so against Uhtred ruling without actually putting forward solutions or mention anyone better for that role. Hated Æthelflaed this episode.
@@omar_elattar.6500 yeah I mean she can still rule alongside him.
James Mccloud
Exactly this. He doesn’t really care for ruling and they’d work together. Just didn’t make sense.
I'm so excited for the new season. Uhtred (Alex) directed episode 2 I believe. I think that's so awesome!!! Great reactions
Nice reaction 👌 episode 9 and 10 was a madness
Uhtred lived about two hundred years later then King Alfred's time. Uhtred is Bernard Cornwell's ancestor. Bernard Cornwell is the author of the TLK novels and wrote Uhtred into King Alfred's times for the story.
Never have clicked on a notification that fast- 🤣🔥
What’s the song name when uhtred gets baptized?

@@kosovitz If i'm not mistaken he literally wasn't at that time, I could be wrong though.
@@brandondeese6351 No, he was Lord of Mercia and she wasn't, she was still Lady of Mercia. Only Wessex had a king.
I love this episode and tour reaction! 🤗
I swear this isn’t supposed to sound as creepy as it does but really, who doesn’t want to be drowned by Uhtred? So hot! Up until the drowning anyway.
🤣🤣
I'm starting to think SiTHFuRioN is a Dane..
Just sayin 😁
If Aethelflead allowed Eadith to stay in Aelesbury, she would be reminded of her humiliation & Aethelred's mistress.
Yeh uhtred was a person but I’m pretty sure it was a couple of hundred years later when he was alive, he wasn’t alive around the time of Alfred I think... but he was the lord of bebbenburgh (or however you spell it 😂)

Season 5 is been confirmed!!
Watch The Last Kingdom podcast on youtube....it is fantastic. Mark Alex and Arnas!!! 3 parts
Idk about ya'll, but i'm ready for this man to drop more Mando reactions!
