The hot knife was to cauterize the big incision that was made down his back. Cauterizing stops that cut from bleeding so he won’t die of blood loss. It was a methodical and cruel way to kill him, which I’m sure was exactly the point. To set him out on a display is meant as both a message to others not to cross them and of their ferocity, aswell as a tribute that their father could see from Valhalla. Revenge for their fathers death is not only about righting a wrong that was done to them. It was also about helping to make sure that Valhalla was the place he went and not hel.

His smile is more ... Soaking up the justice of avenging his father and watching the man who did it perish. I'm sure anyone would feel pretty similar if their beloved was thrown into a snakepit and tortured to death. Aella underestimated a Vikings pure rage.. think that's the scariest Flokis been in the entire series. Ivar simply wants to see him suffer - he's not curious about the pain, he's SAVOURING it because that man took his dad. And because he wants Aella to see his face. Making Aella watch Ivars smiling blood splattered face as he's carved open, as a Christian, was added torture. Just as Floki when he's smiling at Aella- it's not a happy smile per say.

The thing I enjoy most about the scene is that Aella killed Ragnar, who probably would have taken the offer of gold and silver over having him killed. But his children are a different story altogether and it's beautiful.

[@sabrinazakrowski1399]

Ragnar had it planned, even though he would killed. He knew that once they heard about his death, his sons would come after Aella and avenge him, and that's exactly what happened.

[@jonathanruiz3872]

Yea wouldnt have taken the offer of gold and silver if one of his loved ones were killed. Jarl borg threaten to kill his family and he got blood eagled. If a Christian was to kill one of his loved ones he’s getting blood eagled without a doubt

[@yyangcn]

[@sabrinazakrowski1399]

People just tend to feel more positive thoughts and emotions about someone's death when it's someone you hate or you think deserved it. Ragnar's sons decided that Aella would pay for executing their father by giving him the same fate, according to their customs. Aella was begging, blubbering and just about shitting his pants before they killed him. He realizes that his offer of riches wasn't going to work, and yes, they were going to kill him, and he is absolutely petrified.

Perhaps they were already over budget. History Channel's focus seems to have been on recreating authentic Viking culture. There is another show, a BBC production, which may offer a more accurate depiction of historical facts, including this war. Surely they will give Aella more respect than he here receives.
