10 TV Shows With Plot Points That Go NOWHERE

Bjorn Ironside had one hell of a love life. He found many paramours throughout the show, but it's often easy to forget about his first. The romantic angle between Bjorn and Thorunn was great, as Bjorn used his influence to get her freed from being a slave yet didn't force her into anything with him.

Eventually, the pair found themselves in love, and Thorunn even began to train as a shieldmaiden to prove herself. Sadly, this would end terribly, as she joined her husband - whilst with child - in a raid on Wessex and ended up getting a permanent facial scar after an attack.

There was so much potential in seeing him struggle to keep Thorunn happy whilst being happy himself, and it could have led to either some heartbreaking or affirming moments between them. Sadly, this was pulled out at the root, as Thorunn decided to leave to her presumable death instead.

What makes this even worse is the fact that her death was so ambiguous. Plenty of viewers hoped that she'd make a return, as you never saw/heard how she died. Yet, the show concluded without the former slave ever making her way back to Kattegat, which was a major let down.
