    This was another great episode, the first half of 6b was real good but it gets even better in the second half.
    That Alfred speech was amazing. Ferdia done so well with it, and the flashbacks to the chess game was interesting. I like how you mentioned both Ivar and Alfred suffering with their own problems but having to overcome them.
    Best part of the episode was Ubbe’s story. Some of the shots in North America were phenomenal. It’s just fun to see a completely new world. The sacrifice scene was great by Torvi and I loved that diplomatic game of gift swapping.
    There’s one thing in the Kattegat story I really liked and that was Ingrid’s speech about sending assassins to have that Danish converted king killed. That is clear set up for the spin off Valhalla. We know Valhalla focuses on the fall of the Vikings and the clash between Christian Vikings and Pagan Vikings so Ingrid is trying to preserve the old ways of the Gods and we know Kattegat stays Pagan in Valhalla.
    Enjoyed the reaction as always!

    • @KingMckay
      @KingMckay  3 роки тому +5

      I did always enjoy Vikings exploring the clash between Christianity and the Norse gods. It will be interesting to see how Vikings: Valhalla tries to approach it. I guess it will really depend on the timeline they choose to cover.

    Looking back at seasons 4-6 it's such a shame they didn't give Ubbe a bigger storyline and much more screen time. I didn't really take much notice of him when he was first introduced to the show in 4B but he is easily my favourite character now. The only son of Ragnar who is still down to earth and trying to fulfill his father's dreams. Especially his relationship with Alfred had so much potential.

    "Skræling", in the context of the show, should probably mean something akin to "barbarian" or "savage". Alternatively, in Old Norse it would have meant something closer to "(people with) dried skins", possibly referencing the animal pelts that the Indigenous people wore as clothing. I guess you can take your pick which one the writer meant to convey there.

    • @KingMckay
      @KingMckay  3 роки тому

      At the point they said it, we had not seen any of them yet. Meaning they could not have seen whether they did or did not have animal pelts making that one unlikely. So the show runners were probably using it in the first context then.
      Thanks for the info :D

    SPOILERS DONT READ!!!!!!! It seemed like Ivar kinda wanted to die fighting their, for his legacy and story. Other than some fog that ended up in a way helping the Vikings instead of hurting them.. (except King Harold LOL) BUT it seemed like Ivar lead them to defeat knowingly, as in he never truly thought they would win. And supporting my idea/theory was that at the end Ivar had a flashback or the TV viewers did at least, of Vitsergk choosing Ivar and sticking with him. The flashback memories of his LOYAL brother made him feel terrible or guilty because he knew death was next for the vikings and so he tried to save his brothers life. Plus I mean COMON THAT LITTLE FUCKER KILLED IVAR??!?!? I mean yes Ivar isn’t too light on his feet (HAHA) & yes his eyes were blue so his bones were weaker, BUT EVEN WEAPONLESS Ivar could have killed that kid with his walking Crutch/Cane thingy. I mean its not as if we haven’t seen Ivar fight and kill bigger tougher opponents than the kid that basically prison shanked him lmao. Idk how i feel about that ending, it seems like everything points to what i am saying but i just dont know how believable this is for Ivar
