Just a Couple of Arselings: A Last Kingdom Podcast

SYFY Wire Fangrrls writers Alyssa Fikse (@lyssiefikse) and Jessica Toomer (@jessica_toomer) return for the fourth episode of the season and the battle for Skade is on. Uhtred is determined to keep her by his side — she has put a curse on him and all — and he’s willing to kill for it. Everyone else wants her dead and gone, but Uhtred is the boss and what he says goes. Uhtred heads to Mercia to offer aid to Aetheflaed. He arrives at the nunnery, and while the abbess is suspicious of his gruff demeanor and dirtbag undercut, Aetheflaed welcomes him with open arms and even a little flirting. It’s all very nice. Until king of the douchebags Haesten shows up and ruins everything. Again. Also ruining everything? Aethelwold. His paranoia is through the roof, so he decides to kill Ragnar before Ragnar can kill him. It’s terrible, it’s cowardly, it’s not what Ragnar deserved. #justiceforragnar

S3E3: This Is The 9th Century

SYFY Wire Fangrrls writers Alyssa Fikse (@lyssiefikse) and Jessica Toomer (@jessica_toomer) are worried about Uhtred in the third episode of this season. He may claim to be “a Dane for life,” but his men didn’t sign up for this and Leofric continues to haunt him. After working so hard to build Wessex, can Uhtred justify being instrumental in tearing it down? Elsewhere in Mercia, Aethelflaed is alerted to the fact that Aethelred wants her dead. Husband of the year over here! She flees with her closest people and sends word to Uhtred begging for help. Beocca brings Uhtred the letter and reminds him of the good times in Wessex. If he goes to help Aethelflaed, Ragnar tells him that it’s over and to never come back. Will Uhtred FINALLY make a choice over which side he’s on? It’s only been two and a half seasons of angst.
