IA re: Milah. I was hoping this ep would make her more sympathetic, but it just made me dislike her even more. First she doesn't want him to go to war because it's too dangerous, and then he comes back and she tells him he should have died? WTF?

My personal theory is that it was a question of honor. Not the Victorian-era fair-play honor codes, but the old school Spartan/Viking "come back with your shield or on it". Running from a battle, no matter what his intentions, would bring shame on the ancient warriors. It's orthogonal to to modern thought, but it's a theory as to why Milah would be so up-in-arms over it.
