Don't read if you haven't finished the series.
I would have no problem with this if it hadn't been for a poster (might have been @TradePascalSiakam i don't remember for sure) spoiling me by telling me that historically, Aethelstan becomes the next king.
I wish I didn't know that cause every time he was in danger in s5, I was
cause I knew he would be okay.Kind of ruined some moments for me

There was a bit with Aelswith in that scene that had meShe deadass told her son "You're not wrong but you're not right"
@ all of them trying to give him the
Lowkey his plan was right.Why risk thousands of Saxon lives over his thot niece when he gets way more territory than his pops ever got? He was gonna sit back cop half of Northumbria and an alliance with the Scots and since Aelfweard was bytchmade and threw his lot in with a traitor, Aethelstan would ascend the throne and cop the rest?
Yeah Uhtred set him up. First time he ever broke an oath cause his whole setup for getting Edward to fight for him was because he told Edward that this would finally be his way to take all of England.
Edward rode out against his better judgment, almost got pushed off a cliff, almost got killed, half his army got murked only for Uhtred to betray him?
Yeah that war of 7 kings needs to go down so he can run Uhtred that fade
Uhtred will deserve whatever is coming next.
And I get why Uhtred did what he did. It only made sense cause as the new Lord of Northumbria, he had to think of the best way to keep his new subjects safe.
So he had to be ruthless and cunning to protect his ppl, and it wasn't like both Alfred and Edward hadn't done the same kind of stuff over the years when they felt it was the best way to protect their interests.

Finally finished, one of the best Netflix shows ever
destiny is all
Uthred has to be one of the best main characters, dude never backed away from any fight
him vs Constantine would’ve been
Nah, a king should fight a king. And the way him and Edward was looking at each other, they both definitely want allllll the smoke

I'm 9 minutes into episode 9 of the new season 5. I can't believe we had to wait till the end of the final season before we finally see Uhtred retake Bebbanburg. I thought this would've happened in the show a long time ago.

How tho?
Alfred never once intimated that he had a desire to help Uhtred take Bebbanburg.
In fact, Uhtred never even wasted his time asking him.
And throughout Alfred's lifetime, Uhtred was sworn to him and bound to wessex.
The only time he could actually make a play for Bebbanburg was s4 and he tried it as soon as the season started and failed.
Truth of the matter is, there was no way he was ever going to take Bebbanburg without an army.
He had a slight sliver of a chance if Witgar never came back. He was gonna grab his uncle and force him to give up.
Once Witgar took over with his own contingent of men, he had no way to take Bebbanburg as far as sneaking in.
He would always need an army at the back. That was why he liked the idea of Guthred being the king of Cumberland because if Guthred was indebted to him, then he might be willing to take his army north to fight for Bebbanburg.
But of course that turned out how it turned out.
If Alfred never forces him to give his oath for a second time, Uhtred more than likely gets Ragnar to raise an army for him to take Bebbanburg. But of course that turned out how it turned out.
Edward was the only chance Uhtred had of getting an army north. And Edward didn't really want to do it. And looking back on it, he was right because he gained absolutely nothing.
Well he saved his niece but he didn't really care about that. He gained nothing for Wessex by going north. He was tricked.
And I dont even like Edward like that, but I can be impartial and acknowledge that he got played.
Alfred was a hoe when you think about it. Uthred should really have sided with Ragnar and Brida that one time. They would have helped him retakw bebanburg. And they had way more loyalty to him then the Saxons ever did. shyt all his kids would have turned out different.
