Harald to Ivar: 'Halfdan is gone, do you think he would visit me?' Later... Halfdan to Harald: 'Hello brother, I've come to take you to Valhalla' *feels strike*
True. But I am talking about real names, places and dates. The battle of Eddington was a defining one, so was the battle of Hastings in 1066, they defined the future of England, where they really defeated the viking armies. Most Norse people did not fight, they just assimilated into Europe. By the time of the battle of Eddington many Norse kings had adopted the Christian faith and that usually meant asking (or forcing) all their subjects to conform and also adopt the new religion
Idc what nobody says. Ubbe is my favorite son of ragnar. He realized the earth was the true treasure. Wars were a never ending cycle. He understood that. He wanted better for his people. He would be the type of man I would gladly follow anywhere
@@lw4611 He was definitely. Ragnar was hardened by war in the later seasons. Even though he still was a farmer at heart but he experience too much sorrow. I'm glad ubbe managed to stay who he was
@@lw4611 True. However, I think Ubbe was everything that Ragnar initially strived to be. Just to find land to flourish and live a good life in peace. It's unfortunate Ragnar could not get to that point, but it's nice knowing that Ubbe will achieve what his father wanted to do himself. It all comes full circle.
Each son had a different aspect of Ragnar, Ubbe had is simple sense of just wanting an easy life on rich lands and was driven on the search for such a place. He is most like Ragnar is looks and personality, probably helps them both being played by Aussies to get such strong cast resemblance. Lagertha knew young adventure Ragnar before their split broke him and even she said to Ubbe how much he is like him so. All the bad and corruptible parts of Ragnar (lust for power, lust for exploration, addiction and mental health issues) all got passed down to the other sons and they lived out lives similar to him in those senses.
Syrange isnt it, that the royal family on britain also descend from Rollo. Bastards getting in everywhere lol. Respect to thrm though, i only wish the saxons remained pagan wordhiping Wotan (Odin). Would have been a very different show lol.
Haralds death was emotional seeing his brother who helped him up for the final kill and then singing. It was amazing cos it gives you hope about everyone being in valhallah. And of courseeee crazy man in a tree house our crazy man flokiiii!! Missed that lil laugh I loved the drawings for him remembering his whole life
To date the only confirmed Viking settlement in North America is at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I have been there and recommend people visit the settlement and Newfoundland and Labrador: really friendly people, beautiful natural scenery and a very affordable vacation.
@@shakir2893 Yeeeah, Vikings left historical accuracy behind long ago, before the show even started airing the first season. Ragnar and Rollo, brothers? No. For one thing, they weren't even from the same country originally (Rollo was Norwegian, and Ragnar if he existed was supposedly Swedish or a Danish-born Swede). For another thing, they were at least half a century apart. Ragnar would have been too old to join Rollo's siege of Paris in 885, and in fact, Ragnar had been dead 20 years by then (again, if he ever existed) because the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says that the Great Heathen Army arrived for revenge in 865. And that's only one of the historical inaccuracies just in the first few episodes alone. Six seasons later, I've learned to view the show as pure fantasy, not historical fiction. If you want something closer to historical fiction, hit The Last Kingdom. It's not perfect, but it's way closer than Vikings. (Not that that's a high bar to jump.)
@@ms_scribbles Thanks for your comment. I have watched the Last Kingdom and will continue to watch, I believe they have a new season coming up in the near future. True regarding the Heathen army. That last battle was the battle of Eddington, I think in 878. I will also be watching Vikings Valhalla when it airs, set a hundred years after the Battle of Eddington, at the beginning of the 11th century, and since they included the character of William the Conqueror, that means that we will see the Battle Of Hastings, which was the final nail in the coffin of the Vikings. All the best
The Natives Americans are speaking Mi'kmaq. Maybe a older form of Mi'kmaq or just a Different dialect. Cause I'm a Mi'kmaq Native from Nova Scotia, Canada and i can understand pretty much everything they said.
So hyped for this episode especially. So sick to watch your excitement over this guys. The Floki reveal is so amazing plus the whole North America adventure. The cinematography, the transcendent beauty almost like a sort of otherworldly paradise (You can imagine what later European explorers must have felt like....this gives you that little taste right. A new world full of possibilities..... and yes of course the way Ube treats the Natives in this narrative is much more wholesome than many of the later explorers, but it still gives you that glimpse into what it would be like to not only find a brand new land but encounter a whole new set of people's) Beautifully written. The reveal too with the norse language being dropped in conversation and then starting the Vikings down this path of inquiry was such a neat way to do it. I also love getting to see Hvitserk at his best, at peace with his past, having moved on from the guilt of Killing Lagertha, and fully emersing himself in primal combat. So cool. And yeah Harald night have been a jealous, covetous piece of shit at times. He did horrific things too so many people, but he was also sort of sad and disillusioned at the end of his time in Kattegat. It was nice to see him go out in battle, visited in the end by the person he loved most, and was the most lost without in life. Alfred is sick and I love seeing the way the battle between him and Ivar played out. The queen getting her hands dirty to save herself and her child was great because her ferocity and fortitude managed to prevail even though Ivar's plan was so genius.
The guy with an axe fighting a bear i Björn and seceond one with boats underneath a bridge is the attack on France which Floki chose to create beacause he once was the commsnder of the attack
This episode was so fucking good, easily one of the best episodes in the entire show. So much shit happened it’s crazy. The battle with Ivar vs Alfred was so well shot, and the battle itself was so awesome. Hvitserk going berserker like always, but that’s not the best you’ve seen of him! He’s such a beast, my favourite son of Ragnar to watch even though he might not be the best. Ivar outsmarted Alfred, but props to Alfred. Not a great fighter, but he’s there to fight for his people and wife and was stabbed for it. Next episode will shock you with how things play it, it ends satisfyingly! The Ubbe/Native American storyline is just fantastic, it’s one of my favourite storylines in the whole show. I knew Floki was returning but man the carvings and how it was all introduced was epic. Anyone would’ve caught on that “crazy man” meant Floki, I was just happy to see Gustaf and Floki again. This is a big shoutout to my man Harald. His character done some terrible shit, but this season his character was incredibly written for me and Peter Franzén does not get the plaudits he deserves. One of the best actors in the show, and his death just completely captured his character, he died as a warrior which is all he wanted and was visited by his brother which is also all he wanted ever since killing him. What a G, my MVP of the season. The Kattegat storyline played out significantly better than I anticipated. Ingrid was too smart for Erik, the Seer was right and as Gunnhild said, her winning signifies “the golden age of the Vikings is over”. It’s the least invested I’ve been in a storyline this season but it ends pretty well too. Next episode is going to surprise you guys! Can’t wait for the reaction!
The first tree carving is Bjorn fighting the bear, second carving is the first monastery they raided in Northumbria, third carving is the raid in Paris and the last carving is Ragnar!
You guys are awesome. Great intro you two. You own it well and are funny as hell. Great review as always. This episode was amazingggg. Top 5 easy. Man I wish we got a whole season of the Ubbe and Alfred storylines and no Kattegat at all. What a thing to be able to experience- new ppl, new lands, new customs. Just amazing. As I was watching that battle, I knew Steven was gonna be “ohh dayyymnnn” and Nikki was gonna be “WTF FFS” at Ivars battle tactics. Total hats off to Peter Frantzens Harald. Epic send off. And great touch bringing back Halfdan. Wow. Can’t wait for the finale!!!
I've been waiting for you guys to get to this episode, I loved Harold's death scene with Halfden was amazing. But Floki's giggle at the end was everything.

I enjoyed your reaction as much as I did the episode. Steve your reaction was gorgeous when Floki appeared, I had been watching Nikkis reactions for a while *which was me when I watched* But the joy, on Stevens face...brilliant. Also got the feels when Harald died, and halfdans appearance made me choke up. Alfred once again with the speeches, and his raggedy cut...it was all superb, Ivar and Hvitserk bezerking was awesome. Ubbes face seeing Floki was pure sunshine!!!
I thought Alfred was amazing, in real life he had suffered from poor health, yet he really joined in battle. His title "The Great" was given to him centuries later
King Alfred is the only English king to be given the title "The Great", you will find out why, or you can read about him. He has multiple statues in England
@@Web497 And you're obsessed with people who attack unarmed villagers, remember Ivar was saying before that last battle to go and terrorize villages just to disperse the English force. Do you ever ask why you are sympathizing with the invaders? What about the first attack on the monastery in England at the beginning of the show, history recalls that the monks went to the shore to welcome them, only to be killed, robbed, and enslaved. Are you aware that Vikings were first and foremost slave traders? Do you know they practiced female infanticide? and finally .. are you aware that Ivar was already dead before that last battle? (he died in Ireland), are you aware that Rollo's descendants formed the bulk of the army that marched into England in 1066 to destroy the Vikings for good and forever?
@@shakir2893 cool I do slightly recall doing some research one time to see if some of the characters in the show existed in real life and I believe I did come across the name Alfred the Great. I'll have to research why.
I've been binging your vikings reactions since the first one. It's been a week of not waiting for new ones and I'm sad I have to wait, now🤣🤣 Lagertha's funeral had me crying when I watched it originally. But y'all both getting emotional made me cry even more. Love the nails and everything. Love how adorable y'all are together ❤
This is one of my favorite episodes of this show. When the two tribes of peoples come together in joy and assistance. It is the most human. Yes, the rest of the episodes and seasons, the wars, the betrayals, the deaths... are all also human. But when that arrow breaks and baby Ragnar coos...Humanity. Peak humanity.
I love this episode. Loved Harald’s death scene with his brother... definitely got me emotional. Really excited to see your thoughts on the finale. I’m going to miss “Vikings” SO DAMN MUCH. ⚔️😭
Its just like the Boat that treehouse, "Dont you know Floki the Great Boat Builder." - Harold Finhair Seeing Haralds ending the person (we hated the most for so long) was actually the end of the last of the "Viking" nature.
No need to cry ! --- The real historic Harald Finehair had a long life in Norway, he had many wifes during all the years and had, at least, 20 children ! Rejoice !
"no way".. ."there is no way" ... ."could he still be alive?" ... Floki (and that little giggle of floki) that was like a small version of Mando's Luke S scene
The Mi’kmaq definitely did not need Floki’s expertise in constructing their boats or dwellings or anything else. The indigenous peoples were incredible engineers in their own right, perfectly adapted to their environment and with more understanding of the type of wood and other materials available.
Harald had to die to get a good word from Steve 😂 Don’t know man, really conflicted with how he died. Like, the way he went out, killing the guy who killed him, singing with his brother until his final breath, that was badass and fitting, and the fact his brother was happy to come and escort him to Valhalla was a happy ending for him. But the circumstances were indeed silly. For the Vikings, he’s probably the most important person on that field, even moreso than Ivar. Where are his bodyguards? Nobody thought to keep an eye on the King of Norway? He just got lost in the woods and got killed because he wasn’t looking? Don’t know, I’m really conflicted on that one.
As Vikings draws to a close, you guys really loved the show. Might i suggest the show: The Last Kingdom. I watched it while waiting for the rest of the shows of Vikings, it feels really like a Vikings spinoff and yet not a spinoff. The Last Kingdom is really, really similar to The Vikings. Please check it out. I think you will not be disappointed. It has Alfred king of Wessex and his dealings with Vikings that has settled in north part of the country.
The song Harald and his brother Halfdan sing is over a thousand years old. It is taken from a poem composed by the Icelandic warrior and skald Egill Skallagrímsson, who was a true viking of the 10th Century, and whose story is set down in one of the Icelandic sagas, Egil's Saga. While the lyrics have been somewhat modernized and set to a tune, they are still recognizable.
I live in the town next to Edington where they had the battle, pretty cool knowing a battle that changed the history of the country, happened down the road from me 😁
I love it when Steven says "That can't be a good sign" when Alfred sees Jesus but I say the opposite, it's the best sign. I laughed in a good way to be clear, no judging, I just found it humorous.
Just wanted to say you y'all are my fav reactors. Nikki, you're hilarious AF, Steven, you are cool AF bro. i appreciate your dedication to doing these reactions and I hope you keep up the good ishhhh! Big shout out from NEW YORK! PEACES!!!
I had a history test right after last week's episode and the final question was "What's the place with the bald eagles?" and the only answer I could give was "Where Ubbe went" ... how could you guys leave me hanging like that???
This is something I only noticed after watching this reaction even though I’ve watched the episode itself several times now. Ubbe being the one to find Floki was a good homage to back in season 4 I think it was when Floki was arrested by Bjorn and Helga helped break him free. Who was the one to find him hiding underwater? Ubbe! This might be me looking into it too much but either way I think it’s dope that Ubbe was the one to find him
Yes, I like your comment. --Harald FineHair, King of Norway, had at least 20 children and many wifes in his long life. He died at an older age , in Norway. Why , in the Vikings TV series, this important Norse King was shown often as a '' perplexed Viking'', this is a mystery !
Every single time I watched a shocking part, or crazy episode, I had to run over to your channel ASAP just to see your reaction, so someone else could share the excitement with me. Lol
Also, we found another tomb. A shield-maiden was buried there. Through bone analysis, a 3D image of her arm muscles was made. They are comparable to present day Olympic female rowers... So, they could indeed go on killing sprees, especially considering that the average height in the rest of Europe for men was about 160 cm due to general malnourishment, and Vikings towered at 170-175 cm, with our current average height being 182,3 cm. Lastly, I really wish you guys would react to the 2-season series Rome.
Oh my Gosh...Rome is by far one of the best series I ever seen. I thought Vikings, Breaking Bad, GoT was good. Rome is a stand alone show. Well made. All I can say is for those who never seen it, you just don't know what you've miss.
In your defense guys, they were only on Newfoundland, the island, never on the actual continental north america. From what I know, no norse settlements have ever been found on the actual continent ;) But... yeah... ;)
A Viking named Leif Eriksson, son of Erik the RED found North America 1000 A.D. So everyone that says Columbus was first, think again. We discovered and changed the world! - Swedish Viking 💪🏼
If Game of Thrones ending had been anything c!ose to the level of awesome like Vikings is turning out to be, that would have been been a superb and a satisfying conclusion to that epic show. Vikings has run circles, already, around GOT's finale season, and it hasn't even aired the actual finale yet.
Love him or hate him, Harald went out like an absolute G.
Facts
I didn't like him as a person bc of his stupid actions in the past, despite he was the dopest Viking in the show no cap
@@faridehsafikhani8075 exactly how I felt about him too. But damn his death was awesome
I started to like him as a character even though he was a dick
He got everything a viking wants...top 5 best viking death
Remember young ubbe found Floki when Floki escaped now ubbe finds him again
Hell yeah
He's so good at hide and seek, while Floki sucks, apparently
YES!
oh damn, didn't think about that
He sure did
Harald to Ivar: 'Halfdan is gone, do you think he would visit me?'
Later...
Halfdan to Harald: 'Hello brother, I've come to take you to Valhalla'
*feels strike*
Halfdan never stopped loving his brother.
Halfdan never stopped loving his brother and harald never stopped loving him.
i BALLED when i saw floki, the only character that's been with us since the beginning that's still alive it was such a relief to see him again!!!
Yes, it was nice. Historical Ubbe though, never made it to N. America, he was killed in England,
Not to bicker with anyone...don't think we'll ever know many truths about Vikings cuz they weren't big on writing much down...jus kicking ass💪😂👍
True. But I am talking about real names, places and dates. The battle of Eddington was a defining one, so was the battle of Hastings in 1066, they defined the future of England, where they really defeated the viking armies.

Technically Rollo is still kicking.

I second that. Well said btw.✌🏻
imo he was even a better man than Ragnar

I loved the carvings on the tress,
Bjorn killing the bear
Attack on Paris
Ragnar
Was amazing
Coolest thing about king finhair death is how u hear them singing through the woods like they just walking up to valhalla singing.
Like before they fought an he killed his brother... singing thru the forest,👍
@@chevchellios2988 oh shit yeah!! Damn that was a dope moment. These 2 were awesome together.
To this day, Norway has the King, and every king (including present day King of Norway) is descendant from Harald Finehair.
Harald Finehair reigned as king of Norway for more than 50 years...
Almost every Norwegian is a descendant of Harald Finehair
@@arvollproductions Is he the Gengis Khan of north Europe? lol
Yeah fine!
But our flag is the oldest flag in the world!

Harald had one of the best deaths. Had his bro welcome him into Valhalla to let him know there was never any hard feelings for killing him.
No such thing as Valhalla
the return of floki is one of the best moments of this season I loved it
Yea, for me that was literally the only good thing about this season. I didn´t expected it at all, at least not in that way.
TEEeeh HEEhee!
Haralds death was emotional seeing his brother who helped him up for the final kill and then singing. It was amazing cos it gives you hope about everyone being in valhallah. And of courseeee crazy man in a tree house our crazy man flokiiii!! Missed that lil laugh I loved the drawings for him remembering his whole life
He he he😂😂
I love Alfred. I know he's soft and not as ruthless compared to other Kings but he does have courage and a good heart.
And he also did great things for his people
@@fedemona1 yes!
wish more time was spent in wessex - we were invested.
You have to watch The Last Kingdom's Alfred, he is awesome too.

Ubbe is the ideal person for a first contact like this - always the most open-minded and even-tempered of the sons - his father would have been proud.
In real history Ubbe was killed in England, just before this last battle (of Eddington)

Ivar just needs to plan battles forever. I love this.
I was shocked when Alfred survived, the way he pulled that sword out of himself was crazy.
King Alfred is the only English king to be given the title "The Great", you will find out why, or you can read about him. He has multiple statues in England
@@Web497 And you're obsessed with people who attack unarmed villagers, remember Ivar was saying before that last battle to go and terrorize villages just to disperse the English force. Do you ever ask why you are sympathizing with the invaders? What about the first attack on the monastery in England at the beginning of the show, history recalls that the monks went to the shore to welcome them, only to be killed, robbed, and enslaved. Are you aware that Vikings were first and foremost slave traders? Do you know they practiced female infanticide? and finally .. are you aware that Ivar was already dead before that last battle? (he died in Ireland), are you aware that Rollo's descendants formed the bulk of the army that marched into England in 1066 to destroy the Vikings for good and forever?
@@shakir2893 cool I do slightly recall doing some research one time to see if some of the characters in the show existed in real life and I believe I did come across the name Alfred the Great. I'll have to research why.
I've been binging your vikings reactions since the first one. It's been a week of not waiting for new ones and I'm sad I have to wait, now🤣🤣
Lagertha's funeral had me crying when I watched it originally. But y'all both getting emotional made me cry even more. Love the nails and everything. Love how adorable y'all are together ❤
Dude. The music helps the scene with floki so much. It makes it a lot more emotional
I don't think anyone thought you two were stupid for not noticing the bald eagle clue - I think we were all just excited to call out the clue :)
can’t wait for ep 20, please upload soon i finished the series like a month ago i’ve wanted your reactions forever🤣
This is one of my favorite episodes of this show.
When the two tribes of peoples come together in joy and assistance. It is the most human. Yes, the rest of the episodes and seasons, the wars, the betrayals, the deaths... are all also human. But when that arrow breaks and baby Ragnar coos...Humanity. Peak humanity.
I love this episode. Loved Harald’s death scene with his brother... definitely got me emotional. Really excited to see your thoughts on the finale. I’m going to miss “Vikings” SO DAMN MUCH. ⚔️😭
Seeing Halfdan again made me realise how much I missed him in the show
Final scene makes me cry, once again because of you 😭😍 God bless Floki ❤
Its just like the Boat that treehouse, "Dont you know Floki the Great Boat Builder." - Harold Finhair
Seeing Haralds ending the person (we hated the most for so long) was actually the end of the last of the "Viking" nature.
The first tree carving was Bjorn and the bear.
RIP to my Harald ...I cried like a baby 😩😢💔
SO HAPPY to see Floki though ❤️
No need to cry ! --- The real historic Harald Finehair had a long life in Norway, he had many wifes during all the years and had, at least, 20 children ! Rejoice !
@@RayB1656 that actually makes me really happy to know he found a wife and had a family. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"no way".. ."there is no way" ... ."could he still be alive?" ... Floki (and that little giggle of floki)
that was like a small version of Mando's Luke S scene
Hvitserk was a badass in battles this season , really looking sharp and ruthless
Had to watch your reaction to Floki twice. Love it! So happy he’s back.🤗❤️
The Mi’kmaq definitely did not need Floki’s expertise in constructing their boats or dwellings or anything else. The indigenous peoples were incredible engineers in their own right, perfectly adapted to their environment and with more understanding of the type of wood and other materials available.
Well it’s a tv show. Not an accurate one at that. Just enjoy it
@@christianjohnson2275 I do enjoy it, just adding some info to their commentary. That's what these comment sections are for. Commenting.
This.
Floki is just too precious 💜 must protect at all costs lol
Harald had to die to get a good word from Steve 😂 Don’t know man, really conflicted with how he died. Like, the way he went out, killing the guy who killed him, singing with his brother until his final breath, that was badass and fitting, and the fact his brother was happy to come and escort him to Valhalla was a happy ending for him. But the circumstances were indeed silly. For the Vikings, he’s probably the most important person on that field, even moreso than Ivar. Where are his bodyguards? Nobody thought to keep an eye on the King of Norway? He just got lost in the woods and got killed because he wasn’t looking? Don’t know, I’m really conflicted on that one.
As Vikings draws to a close, you guys really loved the show. Might i suggest the show: The Last Kingdom. I watched it while waiting for the rest of the shows of Vikings, it feels really like a Vikings spinoff and yet not a spinoff. The Last Kingdom is really, really similar to The Vikings. Please check it out. I think you will not be disappointed. It has Alfred king of Wessex and his dealings with Vikings that has settled in north part of the country.
“Crazy man!” Lol I love that part.
The song Harald and his brother Halfdan sing is over a thousand years old. It is taken from a poem composed by the Icelandic warrior and skald Egill Skallagrímsson, who was a true viking of the 10th Century, and whose story is set down in one of the Icelandic sagas, Egil's Saga. While the lyrics have been somewhat modernized and set to a tune, they are still recognizable.
This was such a great episode!!!
ahhhh!!! I'm so excited for yall to finish this AMAZING SHOW!
always liked when halfdan and harald would sing FLOKI MY BRO i cried a LIL just a LIL lol and flok with his Laugh Tehee! lol
hvisterk going berserk is a highlight, he is a man born for war
Yes, Vikings was on the other side of the Atlantic so its true.
They discovered the land looong before Columbus
EPISODE 20 NOW PLEASEEEEE THIS IS SO EPIC 🥺
I live in the town next to Edington where they had the battle, pretty cool knowing a battle that changed the history of the country, happened down the road from me 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣 u guys realized where they were,🤣🤣🤣 I was waiting for that🤣🤣🤣
Great episode the battle unreal heralds death chills. Flokie returns loved this episode
I love it when Steven says "That can't be a good sign" when Alfred sees Jesus but I say the opposite, it's the best sign. I laughed in a good way to be clear, no judging, I just found it humorous.
Just wanted to say you y'all are my fav reactors. Nikki, you're hilarious AF, Steven, you are cool AF bro. i appreciate your dedication to doing these reactions and I hope you keep up the good ishhhh! Big shout out from NEW YORK! PEACES!!!
I had a history test right after last week's episode and the final question was "What's the place with the bald eagles?" and the only answer I could give was "Where Ubbe went" ... how could you guys leave me hanging like that???
I've been waiting NINE EPISODES for that reaction!!!!!
I love how Harald and Halfdan continued to sing even after Harald's death
I don't believe all those Saxon soldiers couldn't feel the earth changed drastically under foot. In the crippling lol
This is something I only noticed after watching this reaction even though I’ve watched the episode itself several times now.
Ubbe being the one to find Floki was a good homage to back in season 4 I think it was when Floki was arrested by Bjorn and Helga helped break him free. Who was the one to find him hiding underwater? Ubbe!
This might be me looking into it too much but either way I think it’s dope that Ubbe was the one to find him
i like how they named floki as crazy man
man im so glad we got to see halfdan one last time
Hvitserk always been like his uncle Rollo he fight like him too...this EP my fav in this season
Funny how Harald I had so many children and in the show he had none
Yes, I like your comment. --Harald FineHair, King of Norway, had at least 20 children and many wifes in his long life. He died at an older age , in Norway. Why , in the Vikings TV series, this important Norse King was shown often as a '' perplexed Viking'', this is a mystery !
I love how similar their cultures are♥️ So hard for torvi to NOT be my favorite character
Perfect timing, just got home from a looooong azz day!!! Leeeeets go!
Every single time I watched a shocking part, or crazy episode, I had to run over to your channel ASAP just to see your reaction, so someone else could share the excitement with me. Lol
I loved watching your reactions over 19. Thanks!!!
I just loved Nikkis reaction when she realized Crazy man is Floki 😍❤️
Also, we found another tomb. A shield-maiden was buried there. Through bone analysis, a 3D image of her arm muscles was made.
They are comparable to present day Olympic female rowers...
So, they could indeed go on killing sprees, especially considering that the average height in the rest of Europe for men was about 160 cm due to general malnourishment, and Vikings towered at 170-175 cm, with our current average height being 182,3 cm.
Lastly, I really wish you guys would react to the 2-season series Rome.
Oh my Gosh...Rome is by far one of the best series I ever seen. I thought Vikings, Breaking Bad, GoT was good. Rome is a stand alone show. Well made. All I can say is for those who never seen it, you just don't know what you've miss.
There's a stone somewhere on the Newfoundland coast with Viking Runes.
Also, love or hate him, King Harald was, at his core, a romantic.
Harald was a Viking to the core.
I'm proud of you Nikki. I cried like a fucking idiot when Ubbe said "Ragnar"
If no one has mentioned this before, just FYI, the actress that portrayed Gunhild has won a few Olympic medals for Norway in swimming. I think it's 🇳🇴
"Don't watch us for educational content... LOL"
I loved the reunion of Floki. Seeing the wood carvings of all the stories.
Floki I couldn't wait to see you react to that fact in the show
Halfdan sings so fast like he so excited and can't wait to get too valhalla with his brother.😢
In your defense guys, they were only on Newfoundland, the island, never on the actual continental north america. From what I know, no norse settlements have ever been found on the actual continent ;) But... yeah... ;)
A Viking named Leif Eriksson, son of Erik the RED found North America 1000 A.D.
So everyone that says Columbus was first, think again. We discovered and changed the world! - Swedish Viking 💪🏼
Am I the only one who noticed that when Ubbe and the native woman said crazy man in norse it sounded like the name Othere??
I just binged the series and finished it about 20 minutes ago😭😭
If Game of Thrones ending had been anything c!ose to the level of awesome like Vikings is turning out to be, that would have been been a superb and a satisfying conclusion to that epic show. Vikings has run circles, already, around GOT's finale season, and it hasn't even aired the actual finale yet.
GREAT episode! We deserved 15 more like this one !! But there's only one more. And then it was over, forever. Snif, snif, snif.
Oh no the last episode is gonna destroy me again...can't wait for your reaction guys!! 💙
Like gunhild said lesser people are now ruling
Poor Kattegat is a shell of its former self. All the greats are gone from Kattegat now, so Kattegat is irrelevant, unfortunately.
31:13 aslaug or ass log how u guys called her😂😂😂 cos we were team lagertha
Floki ended up being my favorite character!❤
