Vikings Season 6 Episode 12 Evaluate: All Change

Spoilers

Who’s mendacity to who?

Vikings Season 6 Episode 12 was a transitional hour that targeted on shifting energy, the lengths folks will go to garner energy, and it labored pretty effectively.

I ought to have recognized it was too good to be true for Gunnhild and Ingrid to work collectively as twin Queens or one thing of an analogous nature. 

Then once more, Eric is the particular person driving a wedge between them as he pits the 2 girls in opposition to one another, realizing that he’ll latch on to whichever one lands essentially the most highly effective place in all of Kattegat. 

If you happen to watch Vikings online, you already know Eric has largely been on the periphery, however the way in which he is been manipulating the 2 girls is abhorrent. 

Initially, his declare about Bjorn making a mistake with Ingrid appeared to construct a real connection, however he solely actually cares about getting some much-needed energy. 

Gunnhild’s assembly with the Seer allowed her to understand that she’s being performed, however she additionally understands that she must be taking part in the sport if she would not wish to be double-crossed when she least expects it.

That explains why she had intercourse with Eric, to make him suppose she was in for no matter deal he needed. 

Ingrid being pregnant will complicate issues, however the very last thing I anticipated was for Gunnhild to say she may very well be carrying Harald’s baby. 

Ingrid has nothing to lose by mendacity, and after years of being a slave, she was given a glimmer of the wealthy life after getting near Bjorn. 

For that purpose alone, I believe that she’s going to minimize whoever she has to if she desires to get what she’s at all times needed: Energy and good social standing. 

If it does come all the way down to Gunnhild vs. Ingrid, it truly is a toss-up for who would win. Gunnhild is a fierce one who will cease at nothing to win one thing. 

However in current episodes, she’s been questioning how lengthy the Vikings will final, and that would make her query her function extra so than earlier than. 

The folks voting for a Queen might additionally heat to Ingrid due to her humble beginnings, leading to a shock win for the previous slave. 

Ingrid is not going to take too kindly to Gunnhild mentioning Harald raping her, so I believe Ingrid will wish to do away with Gunnhild earlier than lengthy. 

Then once more, another person from Norway might miraculously pop up, throwing Eric’s plans out the window. It could be satisfying, but it surely appears a bit on the market. 

The present appears to be counting on the simmering rigidity between these two girls for drama, and I might have a lot rathered they labored collectively. 

Kiev’s drama continued to be stable, and it is largely due to how unpredictable Oleg actually is. We witnessed some weird moments by the hands of him throughout the first half of Vikings Season 6.

The lack of Kattegat has knocked his confidence considerably, and that most likely explains why he is spiraling additional uncontrolled. There is a high quality line between good and evil, and Oleg is mad above all else. 

Destroying all the pieces that made Prince Igor a baby was clearly his solution to get the Prince to consider the larger image and win extra battles. 

Killing his personal males was a giant crimson flag, and that completely defined why Dir re-appeared, telling Ivar and Igor to be ready to flee Oleg once they bought the prospect. 

Oleg getting Hvitserk hooked again on the medication was one other energy play that may drive Ivar to query his brother’s true allegiance. 

Hvitserk is unpredictable when he is excessive as a kite and has killed many individuals because of this. Will this result in Ivar slicing his brother off for good?

If Oleg needed to trigger issues between them, then he bought what he needed. 

Katia dressing like Freydis was definitely shocking, however we nonetheless do not know the reality why this new lady bears an uncanny resemblance to the girl Ivar murdered. 

The largest shock was that Ivar managed to get an erection to have intercourse. Was this the setup for Ivar to have kids, or one thing else totally?

The Iceland storyline continues to be the weakest facet of the present, with the scenes dragging on for expensive life, however Torvi managed to speak some sense into Ubbe. 

Kettil has been scheming ever since he appeared, and I would not be stunned if he activates Ubbe and Torvi in an try to throw them overboard. 

This storyline wants to select up the tempo as a result of it truly is letting the sequence down. My concern is that it solely will get good within the last few episodes, making what got here earlier than irrelevant to the general plot. 

“All Change” was a slower installment, but it surely was nonetheless very pleasing. There are too many adjustments to maintain monitor of, but when all of it comes collectively in the long run, will probably be price it. 

What did you consider Eric placing Gunnhild and Ingrid in opposition to one another? Are you digging the path of the storylines?

Hit the feedback.
