You can't really blame Floki. I [SPOILER - highlight to read]: liked Athelstan as well as well, everybody did. But he was looking for trouble when he threw away the bracelet.
Moving on, I predict a lot of people dying in the next couple of episodes. I'm talking massacres. First rule of Viking club: Vikings are going to F@ck. You. Up.

I kinda like Floki. But then, I usually like the anti-heroes. If I had to blame anybody, it would be Ragnar. He promised he would protect him. He should have let him go. Based on the ending, I would say he knew what was going to happen and allowed it.
Between Ragnar and King Ecbert, I really don't know who is the more devious and manipulative at the moment.
So the next season will be possibly twice as long. Not sure how I feel about them introducing a Chinese slave into the mix. Seems like a poor excuse to get some Asian fanservice in the show. An African or even Indian slave would make a lot more sense for the time period, seeing as at that point only a few Chinese people had made it past Persia, and they were mostly merchants and explorers, not women.

Liked what they did with Floki's punishment. If they continue with the whole Norse mythology vibe, Floki getting free should be the catalyst for [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Ragnar's death.

I am a big fan of Lagertha too, but she hasn't featured much yet this season. "She began training in martial arts at age seven, and obtained her first black belt at 13. By age 21, she had started three martial arts schools."
Floki did literally nothing wrong. Athelstan was a monster. His death was too quick. Though Floki's reasons, whatever they were, are definitely not why I would want him dead, I can't hate someone for killing a hypocritical beast in human skin.
I have this strong suspicion things are leading towards Ragnar's death.
One of the most common folk stories regarding Ragnar's demise involve King Aela throwing him into a pit of snakes. Now we have Bjorn going out and "finding himself" and [SPOILER - highlight to read]: killing bears, Viking berzerkers, claiming another guy's wife etc. and starting to come into his own.
And then we have the [SPOILER - highlight to read]: re-introduction of King Aela, where he re-affirms his vendetta against Ragnar. And we have Ragnar talking about being unable to see his own death, but then we see he has that room full of snakes he visits when he wants to be away from others.
But of course, that's just my speculation.
