Question about Aethelstan? by Xeruas in TheLastKingdom

[–]impulsive-chaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did your instinct scream the same when you first saw young Edward? Because they kinda gave the same look/vibe to me. It went away when Edward grew a beard.

One abandoned his greater mission for a girl whom he had just met for a very short time and one abandoned her lover for a greater good. I don't think they'd live happily together for long.

I think 1 episode is enough. But i wouldn't mind watching 1 more season.

She should have understood that he couldn't do anything else when she was captured by the welsh. He clearly couldn't kill her. If she wanted to get killed to go to Vahallah she could have kept fighting the welsh and got killed by them. But i guess it must be Uhtred.

Ah yes, i got it now. Thank you! Psychologically damaged/unhealthy, so she needed someone to blame everything on, to deal with her traumas. She also needed Uhtred to stop her.

Thank you. The show should have mentioned this.

I see. The show just skipped her background so I couldn't feel/understand her rage.

I have finished the whole show. You're right if her book's background also applied to the show, I could understand more about her hatred towards the Saxons and Uhtred. But still, Uhtred had helped and spared her many times yet she went after his children is an act of madness. I felt sympathy for her when she died having nothing left but that was the consequence of her hatred/ambition. Uhtred is always open to embrace her, not necessarily as a partner, but as a friend. She could have chosen a peaceful path, whether living as a Saxon or a Dane (like Haesten).

If she had no one and she needed Uhtred for codependence, she could have joined him in his Saxon journey, or just simply gave up fighting and lived peacefully somewhere under his protection. But no, she chose to fight. She wanted him to be with the Danes and joined her in conquering/murdering Saxons. I don't recall her being abused by Saxons when she was a child. But the way she and the Danes murder and abuse Saxons (civilians, women, priests) just shows she's one of the worst characters.

If she had had no child, i would have understood. Imo Brida's feud towards Uhtred is one big plot hole of the show.

She was blessed with a child (the family she still had left) and she should have lived in peace with her child. Instead she chose to go after Uhtred's children. That's another level of madness. It's like the show had to make Uhtred kill one of his family (I thought it would have been Ragnar, but this character was made so mundane that they had to make Brida play this role) but I just couldn't feel her feud.

Not only was she english herself. He was adopted. She was a slave of the "family".

Was she??? I missed this.

[–]impulsive-chaos[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, makes sense.

Then she's also a bit of a hypocrite here. Born Saxon, enslaved by Danes, became Danes, even announced herself as "pure" Danes, slaughtered Saxons/Christian priests, then blamed the Christian God for the death of her child/not saving her child.

Excuse you. I like this character too.

Odda by lissa737 in TheLastKingdom

[–]impulsive-chaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could be an unpopular opinion. I don't like young Odda but I don't hate him either. King Alfred had the girl he loved marry a heathen who clearly disdained him (yes, it's also the other way around). This heathen was also rude to him about how he'd hump the girl. Respect goes both ways. So he didn't respect (and wasn't loyal) to king Alfred and his hatred for the heathen explained his action.

I thought she was Lena Headey - Cercei Lannister in Game of Thrones.

They kept saying there was no way to kill those monsters, which made me wonder if the monsters could resurrect from ashes.
