I couldn’t find a thread on this. Is anyone watching it?

I haven’t finished it yet, so I don’t want to discuss the plot in detail. But I think I heard a [Wilhelm Scream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream) in Episode 2, when Aethelwulf attacks the tower where Kwenthrith is being held.

He points at a Mercian archer standing on top of the tower and one of Wessex archers shoots him down and that’s the scream I think I heard.

Anyone else catch that?

I watched the season and I think I noticed it too. I’m getting tired of it. It was funnier 15 years ago, before the internet put out a video of all the times the scream had been used. I get tired hearing it now.

Still, Vikings season 4 was awesome!

I really freakin’ hate the Wilhelm Scream. Every time I hear it, it immediately takes me out of the movie.
