Just finished the Last Kingdom season 3. It's good, at times it's great at other times not so much. One problem I had was they created situations that repeated actions seen in Season 1-2. It was ground already covered. Alfred has a great season. But by and large many of the characters make choices they know they shouldn't and have already made the same mistake twice. The final couple of scenes with Uhtred and Alfred are very good but they never should have gotten to the situation they were in. These two have the best relationship in the series, it's complex and in the end very respectful. They genuinely care for eachother, which makes the first two thirds of the season almost impossible to fathom.
I think there was a time skip of about 15-20 years, only problem is nobody aged save Alfred and Edward.
Aethelwold? Who the fuck trusts this guy? Why would anyone trust him? Hi I am openly planning to take the Kingdom, and kill Edward, I have a half assed plan that will fail as it always does but hey Alfred let me hang around. Ok, sure hang out while you plot against me and my family.
Aethelweld was way under used, she has a side story but not much of one and it never goes anywhere.
Bloodhair. Horrible, thankfully he is nothing more than a side act who exists to Skade. Skade however is nothing more than plot device. The character lacks depth and is repetitive. Basically repeating the same handful of lines. You would think somone would realize her so called powers are full of shit when all her visions fail to happen over and over again.
Edward? Blah, not a bad kid, not all that interesting.
Uhtred? Well much of the plot we have seen in the first two seasons. Alfred and Uhtred seem to forget there history of the last two seasons rather quickly. Where the season three story for them ends is where it should have begun. Uhtred's family I don't even know why they give him one. His men? Uhtred and his crew are one of the best parts of the season as they all get expanded roles and we see how loyal they are to him.
The Queen? The exact same as she was in seasons 1-2. You would think she would learn.
It's a very tragic season for Uhtred, they poor it on. Unfortunately his reactions to Tragedy are short lived as he ponders Skade.
The Skade plot is essentially Skade, the power, the power, the curses and power, oh Skade is the center of the univ... Never mind lets go back to Uhtred and Alfred, and thank god for that the Queen might say.
Some great moments this season but the season is disjointed, I felt like they were not sure which plots to go with. They start many side plots, poorly develop them and then anti climatically dump them. The season lacked the focus of one and two. Alfred and Uhtred have a bit of a row, imagin that. I didn't really buy it, especially after season 2. Both Alfred and Uhtred go full retard to make it happen. Hi I totally saved your ass a dozen times over and your beloved sons life more than once, and your wife, and your kingdom, and I have been in your loyal service for 15-20.years judging by Edwards age. But now you don't trust me and seek to use me, and don't just want to sit down and talk?
It's a problem with season 3, a lot of false dilemmas that are long lasting and fixed rather easily and quickly mostly because they were weak to begin with. Even when justified they are solved with a smile and a wink.
I want to kill you Uhtred!
You can't we are bonded.
Shit I forgot about that, okay I love you but I still want to kill you.
Well I am on the battlefield often, good luck to you.
Oh Uhtred, that's so you I love you even more.
Yes yes I am very charming.
I enjoyed it but it is the weakest of the three seasons IMO. Also if there is going to be a season 4, they got a lot of problems. I mean a lot.

Here was no 15-20 year time skip from season 2, This should be apparent from the age of the various children not changing noticeably from last season. Alfred looking like he aged is because he is sick. There has probably been a couple of years at most gone by. Anyone who is more familiar with history could be more precise for you by using the battles as reference points Aethelwold I really enjoyed actually. He went from the bumbling idiot comedic relief for Alfred’s court to loathsome plotter we all root against in just one season. His murdering Ragnar in cold blood and stopping him reaching his sword so he could go to Valhalla was sad But it made his demise so damn satisfying. Related note, I fucking love Brida. I truly felt her grief over Ragnar and her desperation to let him pass to Valhalla properly. Queen Aelswith I also think very interesting. She clearly loved Alfred greatly but at the same time despise Uhtred with all her being. So much so that she cannot bring herself to respect his final wishes and work with Uhtred, even going so far as to get rid of loyal Beocca. I look forward to seeing what happens going forward, and how much she tries and succeeds with influencing Edward. Edward himself didn’t get a lot of time, though we saw some small growth in his brief scenes. And I would guess we get to see more of that going forward. Skade was indeed the worst part of the season. From what I’ve gathered she wasn’t a great part of the books either. The relationship between Alfred and Uhtred is purposely like that though. Alfred knows how much of an asset Uhtred has been to him and can be again in the future. He also knows just how wilful, proud and independent Uhtred is, how set in his own ways he is. So Alfred needs to force Uhtred into situations where he can manipulate him into swearing an oath, the only possible way to be assured of his loyalty. In addition to this, Aelswith’s attitude is representative of the majority. Good Christian King Alfred can’t been seen to rely so heavily on the unwashed pagan warrior with his false gods and heathen ways. So Alfred needs to creat the appearance at least of distance between them. Consider what Uhtred narrates at the end, he will never appear in the Chronicles but he will live them all the same. Because that is what is needed

So Alfred needs to creat the appearance at least of distance between them. Consider what Uhtred narrates at the end, he will never appear in the Chronicles but he will live them all the same. Because that is what is needed Yeah at some point between the birth of Edward there is a large time skip as he is a teenager in season 3, and was born at the end of season 1. Alfred realized at the end of season 3 he did not need to pressure Uhtred to help Edward as Uhtred already felt very close to Edward and Alfred. After 15 years give or take I felt he should of known that, the hostage seen was going a bit far to create a false drama between them as Uhtred was clearly Alfred's most trusted friend. Which he talks about, and Uhtred knew when he was with his brother where his loyalty lied. The time skip appears to happen between seasons 1 and 2, but I didn't realize it because I don't recall seeing Edward in season 2, and we open with Uhtred still drinking himself stupid over his wife 10 years later. Which he suddenly snaps out of so that is the weak transition. It also means his brother and Brida were in prison for about a decade and seemed not to notice it. The conflict with Alfred and Uhtred felt way to contrived in season 3, it had been to long and we should have seen more trust after that long and it looked that way in the first shot we get of Alfred and Uhtred. It's like dude he saved you, your wife, your kids, your Kingdom twice and he didn't have to do any of it. As for Brida she has always been good. Aelswith on the other hand, has seen no character development for 3 seasons she feels the same about Uhtred as she did day one, never mind all that applies to Alfred applies to her, saved your life, your kids life, your kingdom, and in general has been good to your family. What's Uhtred gotten? Let's see his family is dead, both of them, his wife is dead, his kids were taken, he's a minor land holder. The people love him, he is famous, and everyone still stabs the guy in the back and he in turn screws his brother over. Hey I saved you from slavery and helped another King take back his kingdom, thank you so much I am selling you into slavery.
