Trivia
The "blood eagle" execution, for which the episode is named, is not a product of Hollywood imagination. There are numerous, arguably accurate, accounts of it in Viking sagas being performed on enemies considered worthy of its brutality - in some cases against English kings.

Quotes
Floki: But warriors don't show their heart until the axe reveals it.
Bjorn Lothbrok: You are so wise, Floki.
Floki: I'm not wise at all. I'm just a joker.
