I learned that Lagertha is way hotter than the princess chick.
I learned that Ragnar cares more about having more sons than keeping a smokin’ hot blonde happy.
I learned that the new larger Bjern is developing into a badass but I still miss the younger Bjern.
I learned that Floki is one seriously weird dude, but he’s also a hellova fighter and has become one of my favorite characters.
I often have discussions with a co-worker who is following the series, and I made the following observation to him. The character Floki, and his woman are both borderline sociopaths living on the fringes of the society they are purportedly members of. They both suffer from the same inability to fully integrate into their own society, and thus live apart from "mainstream Kattegatt". That said, they both provide essential services to the community they are marginally part of, in an excellent fashion so they are not discriminated against.
Part of Floki's 'weirdness' stems from his over-compensating in defending the culture he is living on the fringes of against outsiders to the culture. Shrinks would have a real field day analyzing the two of them...
