What’s going to turn into of Gunnhild?
On Vikings Season 6 Episode 14, the beloved shieldmaiden agreed to stay with Ingrid, and each girls geared as much as marry King Harald.
It was a wild flip of occasions, particularly when you think about the best way Gunnhild has been speaking in regards to the finish of Vikings as she is aware of it.
I appreciated the scenes between Gunnhild and Ingrid as a result of we’re slowly beginning to perceive why Ingrid is making what I’ve perceived to be weird strikes.
Ingrid agreeing to marry her abuser might make her appear weak within the eyes of others, nevertheless it was good that she truly defined her machinations.
The primary few episodes again have been sorely missing in exposition for the character, and now we’re lastly getting the solutions we have to select the proper aspect.
It is apparent Ingrid would not imagine the kid is Bjorn’s, however making everybody suppose it’s would give the kid a reputable declare to the throne down the road, assuming issues do not change within the years earlier than the kid is of age.
Placing up with Harald for numerous years is healthier to her than going again to being a slave, and I beloved how Gunnhild questioned Ingrid about it.
Harald: You and I, and Bjorn… we belong collectively. We danced round one another. We hated and we beloved one another. I bear in mind each time I ever noticed you, and I bear in mind each time I used to be within the firm of Bjorn. Our sagas are one and the identical. Bjorn died. I additionally died. However for some purpose I got here again to life. You possibly can’t have Bjorn anymore. Not less than not as a heat physique in your mattress. You possibly can have me. And you may be Queen of Kattegat.
Gunnhild: If I marry you?
Harald: If I ask you, in all humility, and I anticipate no speedy reply.
They’re two very totally different girls: Gunnhild is honorable, whereas Ingrid will go in whichever course she must so as to keep wealthy and highly effective.
Gunnhild’s phrases of knowledge in Bjorn’s cave definitely made it seem to be she’s as much as one thing. Is she frightened about what Bjorn would suppose by being in a relationship with each Harald and Ingrid?
That appears to be what we’re imagined to take from the scene.
Erik continues to be a wildcard, and I discover it onerous to imagine that Harald trusted him so far as he might throw him.
If you happen to watch Vikings online, you realize Erik has been conspiring towards each Gunnhild and Ingrid, enjoying them towards one another to determine how he may benefit from both of the ladies being named Queen of Kattegat.
I am Prince Egor! Emperor of Rus!
Igor
When Harald is made King and Ingrid and Gunnhild are made the Queens of Kattegat, it will depart Erik to fend for himself.
It is potential he might proceed to scheme to take energy, however too many cooks within the kitchen springs to thoughts right here. The election plot has been thrilling, however we have to up the physique depend in Kattegat as a result of most people are enjoying too good for consolation.
Politics is hard, however once we’re within the closing stretch of episodes of a present constructed on totally different sides battling for expensive life, there needs to be extra loss of life.
That being mentioned, Oleg goes to begin killing anybody who crosses him earlier than lengthy. Given the best way Vikings Season 6 Episode 13 ended, the good escape was going to be a hit.
However Oleg has confirmed to be the kind of particular person to behave first and suppose later. Now that Katia and Ivar have double-crossed him, he is beginning to understand that he cannot belief anybody.
That doesn’t bode effectively for the way forward for anybody who has crossed him as a result of he’ll really feel prefer it’s do or die time and won’t maintain again in relation to taking folks out.
Oleg has been towards his brother for a while now, but when we do get a battle between the 2 sides, it is probably Oleg’s military would surrender and defect to Novgorod.
All Dir must do is get Ivar and Igor to talk up, and it needs to be a straightforward affair, however I do not anticipate Oleg to go down with out attempting to kill some folks.
That is why Ivar, Katia, Igor, Hvitserk, and Dir needs to be afraid.
The madness in Greenland was enjoyable as a result of it truly began the method of advancing the plot in Iceland.
Leaving the earlier location was a threat and one which Ubbe and Torvi wished to take. They thought that dangers would reap the rewards, and what they obtained was a land that seems to be inhabitable.
Torvi: What are we going to name this island?
Kjetil: Properly, since there are not any timber, why do not we name it Greenland?
Splitting up the island between the totally different households might have appeared like a good suggestion, nevertheless it wasn’t a sound plan.
The one optimistic from it’s that it gave them an ethical dilemma when the useless whale washed ashore and landed on Ketjil’s a part of the island.
Ketjil noticed this as a chance to say his energy over the others and to shun the ravenous individuals who weren’t from his a part of the island.
In hindsight, there ought to have been guidelines about dividing the island up, presumably that individuals shouldn’t be allowed to go hungry.
Perhaps this state of affairs will give Ubbe, Torvi, and everybody else some meals for thought once they transfer on from the land.
“Misplaced Souls” picked up the tempo significantly and made it clear that these characters are going to face much more hurdles earlier than they discover some semblance of peace.
Probably the most stunning facet of the ultimate episodes is the dearth of massive returns. I figured folks like Floki or Rollo would pop up after the loss of life of Bjorn.
What are your ideas on the bedlam in Iceland? What does Gunnhild need to do about Harald and Ingrid?
