I often think of Season 4 Part A as one of the weakest parts of the series. This episode was surprisingly great on re-watch.
On the Ragnar side of things, the Floki story-line is great. Ragnar still has compassion as his darker elements take over along side his depression. The slow torture of Floki throughout is great.
The weakest part is the Bjorn storyline. It adds nothing at all so far and I voice-over it pretending it's a reality survival tv show.
Actually rescuing the queen was the best part of this episode. The action was brutal and viseral. It was actually tense since any character could die at that point.
The scenes with Judith are a nice development for her storyline and I don't remember where it goes.
In Season 4 Part A, I have always remembered Rollo and his wife being the best part of it and it is great in this episode as well although brief. Him getting the dress and trying to bow was funny and his wife and him make a great duo.
I hope the rest of the Season 4 Part A suprises me on rewatch.
