The Last Kingdom Season 2 Episode 7 Online
Alright, settle in, shield wall up, because we’re diving headfirst into The Last Kingdom Season 2, Episode 7! Remember when we thought things couldn't get any more complicated for Uhtred? Boy, were we wrong.
Betrayal and Banter: A Saxon Salad
This episode is a real mixed bag. We've got backstabbing that could make Brutus blush, some seriously questionable life choices, and, surprisingly, moments that almost made me spit out my ale with laughter.
Poor Uhtred is trying to navigate this treacherous political landscape. He’s basically playing a game of chess where everyone else is using loaded dice and occasionally just flipping the board.
Must Read
Aethelflaed's Risky Romance
Let's talk about Aethelflaed, Alfred's daughter. This episode hints at a spark between her and Erik. I mean, talk about forbidden love! He’s a Dane, she’s Saxon royalty, it’s practically Shakespearean, only with more axes.
You can almost hear the collective gasp of the Saxon court. Alfred definitely wouldn't be impressed if he knew. But hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, especially when destiny (and maybe a bit of brooding Viking charm) calls.
Guthrum's Gamble
Guthrum, the once fearsome Viking leader, is feeling the pull of Christianity more strongly than ever. Talk about an identity crisis! He's trying to balance his old ways with his new faith. It is a hard thing to do.
The episode shows Guthrum struggling to find his place. It’s honestly a bit heartwarming to see this tough guy grappling with such profound questions. Though I’m not entirely convinced he’s given up the raiding life just yet.
Uhtred's Unwavering Loyalty (or Lack Thereof)
Uhtred is, as always, caught between a rock and a hard place. Loyalty to Alfred versus his own desires is the theme in this episode. He's walking a tightrope, and the wind is definitely picking up.
His interactions with everyone are a rollercoaster. One minute he's trading insults, the next he’s forming uneasy alliances. He really keeps you on your toes. His decision whether to support Alfred or not is at the front of my mind.
The Humorous Side of Mayhem
Despite all the doom and gloom, there are some unexpectedly funny moments. Uhtred's dry wit cuts through the tension like a hot knife through butter. His sarcasm is definitely a weapon in his arsenal.
Some of his lines had me chuckling even amidst the serious betrayals and battle strategies. It’s that little bit of levity that makes The Last Kingdom so compelling.
Why It All Matters
Episode 7 is more than just swords and shields. It’s about people making impossible choices. It is about the human condition when placed under great stress.
It explores themes of love, faith, loyalty, and the eternal struggle between what we want and what we think we should do. Even though the show is set centuries ago, these are things we all grapple with today.
So, if you haven't already, grab your popcorn (or your mead, if you're feeling authentic), and dive into Episode 7. You won’t be disappointed. Just be prepared for a wild ride filled with more twists and turns than a drunken Saxon dance.
