I t turns out knowing your fate sucks. It's just a bad time. But you soldier on anyway, because the death drive makes fools of us all, even strapping young lads with chiseled faces like Sigurðr.

This episode we do the due diligence we forgot to do last week and talk a little about the actual history of the book we're reading before learning of the many exploits of Sigurðr, including killing the sons of Hundingr, killing a dragon, killing his shitty foster dad, and killing every possible chance he might have to break from fate and just have a happy normal married life with his best girl, Brynhildr. Maybe when you've had to suffer the tragedy of knowing for so long, the promise of forgetting for a while is just too sweet.

Also Odin's there. A lot.
