Just a Couple of Arselings: A Last Kingdom Podcast

SYFY Wire Fangrrls writers Alyssa Fikse (@lyssiefikse) and Jessica Toomer (@jessica_toomer_) fangirl their way through the penultimate episode of season two of The Last Kingdom. Aethelflaed gets taken by the Danes, and if you thought that was bad news, you would be incorrect. Our favorite lady of Mercia finds true love with the lover of shoulder pads, Erik himself, and these two offer viewers a tragic romance for the ages. Back in Wessex, things are less lovey dovey. No one can agree on how to handle this hostage situation, and the kingdom is getting hammered on all sides. Will Alfred listen to Uhtred’s counsel or will he continue to put too much faith in the loathsome Aethelred? Unfortunately, you probably already know the answer to that one.

S2E6: Saxons Do Not Understand Rudimentary Gynecology

SYFY Wire Fangrrls writers Alyssa Fikse (@lyssiefikse) and Jessica Toomer (@jessica_toomer_) take on episode six of season two of The Last Kingdom, where we see the worst marriage since the Red Wedding. Aethelred is immediately the Worst Husband Ever while also working to further the divide between Alfred and Uhtred. Erik and Siegfried continue to cause problems for the Saxons, and honestly, we kind of respect their game. Alfred soon learns that cutting Uhtred out of battle plans can only lead to disaster. You would think he would have realized that by now, but Alfred never, ever learns. On the plus side, Uhtred and Gisela continue to prove that there is such a thing as loving and supportive couples in Wessex. Who knew?!

S2S8: So Much For That Happy Ending

SYFY Wire Fangrrls writers Alyssa Fikse (@lyssiefikse) and Jessica Toomer (@jessica_toomer_) have survived the second season of The Last Kingdom, but some of our favorites have not. Erik and Aethelflaed’s plan to escape is a desperate one, and perhaps not even Uhtred can help them be together forever. Odda and Alfred are at odds over when and how to unite the armies of Wessex, leading to some betrayal, murder, and hurt feelings. Think a playground fight between besties with much higher stakes. Will Wessex succeed in driving the Danish threat from England, or will Alfred’s hubris finally be his downfall?
