Re-watching These First Few Eps Of Season 6 Again...

Re-watching these first few eps of season 6 again...

Particularly Hvitserk’s storyline..

And you know what’s bugging me? Absolutely NOTHING was done to help him right from the start of his mental decline. The second episode - Ubbe, Lagertha, Bjorn AND Torvi had clearly noticed something was really wrong with their family member. And what did they do? Nothing. Nobody actually spoke to Hvitserk about what was bothering him. Nobody took the time to do that RIGHT from the start. I know it’s not the Viking way to talk about feelings blah blah blah, but apart from Bjorn convincing Ubbe to postpone his expedition to help his little brother and look after Kattegat, nothing else was done to help him!! It was almost like they just accepted it “oh yeah, Hvitserk is crazy now, oh well let’s leave him to it and go on another journey/leave to go save a king I feel I’m obligated to save rather than staying home and saving MY OWN LITTLE BROTHER”. He spent more time, thought and energy on what to do about Harald than he did his own kin!

ALSO... Ubbe reacted with annoyance when Bjorn asked him to postpone his journey... Shouldn’t he have been more like “I’m not going anywhere until I know my little brother is ok”?

Aaargh!! The more I’m thinking about it the more annoyed I’m getting!
