Gianfranco Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I have to say I really enjoyed the final season. The Ubbe stuff was much better now that they’ve left Iceland and the surprise return was quality. I actually warmed to Ivar a little too. Good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just finished. The second half of S6 was really good for the most part, I loved the Ubbe storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Just started the last season... Regarding Bjorn..... Spoiler What a way to go out. Not often a character of his stature gets a truly fitting end. Out like an absolute fucking Champion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Vikings lost it's way a bit post Ragnar. It looked in danger of going on to far but having finished it lastnight, they really did round it off perfectly. It's not often you can say that about a long running series. Characters who were built up as heroes all got their appropriate ending, but Bjorn especially who pretty much surpassed Ragnar. The final scene was beautiful too. Other than Bjorn, Ubbe was the most likeable and credible son of Ragnar so to see him do something as great as making it to America was also fitting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 So Bjorn got stuffed and mounted???Really enjoyed that, some great moments, the bit where Edge has won but at the same time has nothing was very well done, Didn’t particularly like the Ivan redemption plot, I personally thought he was beyond that after his capers when he was the God/King, but everything got tied up nicely and that’s it finished, it was a bit of a chore to watch once Ragnar wasn’t in it, but I’m glad I did!!!They stuffed and mounted Bjorn??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Meh. Some good stuff and some silly stuff. Were we supposed to be on Ivar's side? Like KK says, he was way beyond redemption. His betrayal of everyone, his treatment of the folk of Kattegat and his siding with the Rus were all absolutely unforgivable on their own, but combined were way beyond redemption. The moment he and Hvitserk sailed back in to Kattegat they both should have been instantly beaten and imprisoned before being blood eagled. I think Ivar will go down as one of the most ridiculous and over the top characters on TV. The whole can he/can't he walk infuriated me. The blue eyes stuff was nonsense. His constant smirking and screaming annoyed me. Hvitserk was just a bit of a bitch and had a totally underwhelming ending. The Kattegat story petered out quite tamely, as did the Rus story. Harald was a bit meh too. Why did Ubbe et all run away from Kjetll (sp?) in Greenland? Looked like they outnumbered him significantly. I get that he was a mental psycho but they could have done this better. I liked the scenes in Canada and wished we had more of the natives and Ubbe's posse. How did Floki survive and get there? I suppose they don't have to explain everything, like how Alfred was stabbed seemingly through the heart and was fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue eye stuff is actually medically accurate - I had to look it up, but it is a recognised phenomenon for people with this type of brittle bones disease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) The bit that got me sniffling, unexpectedly was the Harald Finehair scene with his brother. The new series of Vikings Valhalla on netflix should be interesting with the Vikings wrestling with Christianity. They have cast a female as Haakon which has caused a stir on some twitter feeds. In a series where there are so many strong female characters I didn't see the need in changing the sex of Haakon.

bennett Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Not sure what was funnier, the surfboards or Haakon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Watched about 5 minutes and gave up. Terrible acting, awful script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Watched episode 1. It was OK, set up the series well enough. ] Acting quality has never really been a staple of the show, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 finished this yesterday and it was actually pretty good, if took a few episodes to get into. worth sticking it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Is this worth watching past the point Ecbert dies? Since Ragnars decline started ive found myself sort of just having it on and paying attention, rather than actually watching it, and it feels like everything is starting to be rushed a bit with new characters appearing every episode, which i never think bodes well with shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it wasn't the same when that happened, his sons just don't hold the same draw. I stopped watching it a while ago, like TWD i meant to give it another try but just haven't felt that arsed about doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivar is fine but the constantly evil laughing and close ups is a pain in the arse, and theres not enough likeable about him to be the main character for me either. The warrior bishop was interesting but hes already been ruined too. Bleh. Might rewatch it one day and just treat either Ragnar or Ecberts death as the end.
