Ragnar's Most Pragmatic Son Headed West At The End Of Vikings
The ending of Vikings saw Ubbe finally fulfill his goal of traveling west and reaching the "Golden Land". ThoughVikings viewers may think that the shot of a soaring eagle after Ubbe's arrival in the "New World" means he's reached the USA (or rather, the land that will eventually become the USA), he and his settlers actually arrive in Northeastern Canada.Ubbe's arrival in the west may not have happened in real life, but his story serves as both a fulfillment of Ragnar's dream of exploration, a...
The Master Boat-Builder Only Found Sadness In Iceland
To Ubbe's surprise, he found an old friend waiting for him in the new world: Floki, who returned for the Vikings ending. The last time viewers saw the giggling boat-builder, he was seemingly crushed in a cave-in after discovering to his maddening dismay that Christians had beaten him to Iceland, which he'd once believed to be Asgard — the home of the Norse gods. Floki's own new world fell apart when the settlers he persuaded to come to Iceland descended into in-fighting and murder, culminatin...
Ragnar's Youngest Son Embraced His End In The Vikings Finale
Ragnar Lothbrok's youngest son, Ivar the Boneless, had perhaps the most interesting arc by the time Vikings ended. His legend started before he was even conceived, with his mother — Ragnar's second wife, Aslaug, who experienced visions of the future — warning her husband that he needed to wait three days before consummating their marriage, or their child would be monstrous. Ragnar ignored her, and a difficult pregnancy followed that culminated in a baby born with deformed legs. Ivar was left...
After A Life Being Overshadowed, Hvitserk Found Purpose Away From Kattegat
If each of Ragnar's sons had an ending that pays tribute to their father — Ubbe fulfilling his dream of exploration, and Ivar his love of battle — then Hvitserk's ending in Vikings is a nod to Ragnar's love of Athelstan, and his curiosity about the Christian god. From the moment Athelstan's monastery was raided in Vikingsseason 1, and he was taken captive, the monk was an object of fascination for Ragnar, and eventually came to be his closest friend and adviser. Even after Athelstan was murde...
None Of Ragnar's Offspring Became The New Leader
The throne of Kattegat has been sat upon by many different rulers, but somewhat surprisingly, Vikings does not end with a son of Ragnar as the king of Kattegat. Instead,Bjorn's second wife Ingrid — carrying a child that could be either Bjorn's or Harald's — declares herself the new queen after Harald is killed in the raid on Wessex (similar to how Aslaug became queen after Ragnar's death). Some viewers expressed disappointment that a newer character ended up ruling Kattegat, but Vikings never...
The Finale Brings The Show's Core Themes To A Head
The second half of Vikings season 6 brought the show's story full-circle, with Ubbe's storyline recalling Ragnar's desire to discover new land, while Ivar and Hvitserk once more returned to raid England. Though Vikings has frequently strayed from historical accuracy, the series has covered in broad strokes the first few decades of the Viking age in England, and the season 6 finale foreshadows the end of that age with the detail that a Danish king has converted to Christianity and forbidden wo...
The Final Episode Of Vikings Was Neither Brilliant Nor Terrible
Vikings ran for 6 seasons from 2013 to 2020, and by the time it concluded, was one of the most popular shows on the airwaves. To say the season 6 finale, "The Last Act", had a lot riding on it was an understatement. There have been few shows like Vikings before or since (save perhaps the spin-off, Vikings: Valhalla), so the final episode could make-or-break the show's legacy and determine whether it's enjoyable from start to finish and so likely to be binged on streaming services. All in all,...
