Vikings, end scene, last scene.... reflecting on a life lived. 

If they are on the North America east coast... Why is the sunset over the sea? They are actually looking at a rising sun, arent they? Isnt that even more powerful?

indeed. Only place the sun sets on the east coast is in the gulf of florida. Which idek if that really counts but its still on the east side of country so a gray area i guess lol but they def aint in florida obv. Id love to see them make a spinoff series in the americas with them. Wouldnt be very viking but would be cool to see them discover and travel thru the country. @@Romincus

At that moment, he won his final battle and the halls of Valhalla opened to him.

They should have hired you for their writing.

Excellent thanks

Somewhere, a young boy dreams of an old viking that builds boats. And he asks him in his dreams to build him a boat...

I love Ubbe & Floki!!! The whole cast was amazing!!! Best Show Ever!!! 🎊🥳💐

Me too! Laugh every time!

Love that

Don't forget his first son is not his it rolo

@@kingragnar6789 Lol this always splits Vikings fans 50/50 down the middle. Personally I think Rollo wanted Bjorn to be his but wasn't. They even say who he looks and acts the most like in the show,

​@@kingragnar6789 It's not. Odin visited him when Ragnar died and only Ragnar's sons could see him. So no.

​@@Omni-Man also when ragnar asks the priest about his son's future he (the priest) told of bjorn before ragnar specifying by asking "and what about bjorn?"

I think his first son looked more like him than any of the rest

I do not believe those two things to be necessarily mutually exclusive. I believe a given time and place can warrant one or the other or even both in equal measures or unequal measures. When protecting ones family or standing for what is righteous, the most ruthless can find a purpose and a wise man is one who can find purpose in preparing to act as the most ruthless when and if need be. I do not necessarily disagree with your take nor do I assume that you would disagree with my own. I'm merely sharing my own observation as I feel it relates to your own. I think being a complete man is about achieving a balance between ruthlessness and wisdom as one's situation may require at any given time(s). A life well spent is one spent in constant pursuit of that balance and I think that's what Floki was able to achieve by the end of the series. Either way, I think most would agree that Floki's arch was by far the very best of the show, as you have already pointed out.

that nigga kiled athelstan tho

Floki was just a zelot who did things for his fundementalist sense. He wanted to be the best pagan ever, thought Ragnar was going to lead them into a glorious future that will secure wealth, riches and Valhalla for them. But in time, what Ragnar wanted was a better life for his people, he wanted farmlands, he wanted his folk to become more than what they are, he wanted things way beyond Floki's vision. Floki was too afraid of change because he feared their identity as Northmen was deteriorating. Even Rollo, in time, was thinking killing christians can't be their goal, they have to find a common ground for everyone's benefit. After Ragnar's death, and civil war, Floki is just searching to find his gods, and finding nothing in return. All he discovers is more and more questions, more and more mysteries.

@@subutaynoyan5372 Is Floki just a nihilist at this stage?

a nihillist is someone who doesn't see the point in bothering to improve oneself because you'll be dead anyway and everything you worked for is lost. i personally don't think hes one, hes way too wise at the end to be one, most nihilist's simply dont care, but he clearly does.@@Ubu987

Let the past go... and forget the past? Oh hell no.

Yes but he instantly breaks his own rule as soon he is reminded of Ragnar .. you can’t really forget the past..

But you can beat it back from time to time.@@etairospolitis

@@etairospolitisYou shouldn’t. That’s like some 1984 shit right there.

@@chickenman6308 letting go of the past is not forgetting the past

Yea I heard that if you start seeing your dead loved ones it means you will most likely die soon

@@kimberlybellard6972 That’s not true.

​@@kimberlybellard6972most certainly in rapid succession and more poignant memories accompanying them. We knew my grandfather was close to dying, when he asked my mum to check the hitching rail and make sure her horse hadn't got loose. That horse hadn't been alive for more than 40 years, yet it was a constant memory of hers and his.

It’s VERY true…3 of my grandparents experienced this..in hospice care, we were sitting with grandpa and he could barely speak etc…out of nowhere he sits straight up with a huge smile on his face and says “Why it’s nice to see you Pepper (grandmoms nickname ), was wondering when you’d show up”…literally seconds later all the machines started going off and he took his last breath and had this awesome peaceful look on his face…my Pop Pop said all of his brothers came to see him in the hospital and they’ve been dead many yrs…he said they sat around the bed and told him jokes etc@@latindwarf8173

​@kimberlybellard6972 there are many hospice nurse videos that talk of the dead coming to collect their loved ones at the right time.

Yeah It does. You realize how Long he's been around. You realize that's its coming to an End and it's been a Long journey.

Truly sad to see it end.

The Last kingdom did that for me 😪

Man, it sucks.

The last kingdom definitely did it for me before vikings came out

@@picklecheese1vikings came out 2 years before the last kingdom.

Thanks for the Blade Runner reference. Mr Roy Batty words makes me sad , each time I see or hear them. My friend was called John Batty, no relation to Roy. Ha ha ha.. JR/UK 🇬🇧

his burial boat?

​@@minexer the ferrymans boat I presume

Well said, brother.

Breaking bad?

Nice try not even close@@davejenvey3598

Great, but not even close lmao... the cgi, actors, environments, story is what makes vikings the greatest tv show of all time.@@davejenvey3598

@@davejenvey3598 Is this meant to be a joke?? First 3 seasons of Vikings is absolute magnificence. BB is just overrated.

@@dominikmdmx from a story telling point of view bb changed the game by giving u the cliff hanger at the beginning, every detail has a direct impact on the story. The only thing vikings has better is the makeup. Breaking bad is genius and original don't happen often in this age. However vikings is ace too.

Rollo's decedents later conquered England, William the Conquer

Ragnars descendants also are alive today, more specifically through Sigurd and the Danish royal family

don't know know much about history but was he also a backstabbing terrible brother that betrays his entire family?

@@xeno9 Not at all, in fact the real Rollo and Ragnar are separated by close to 100 years, and not at all related. Ubbe also never sailed to Vinland in fact he died in battle in Wessex around the year 878. None of this show is based on real history save for the characters being based on real people scattered all across actual Norse history and even looser fates to said characters to their actual IRL achievements. Vikings is way more fantasy than historical

Ragnar died a Christian.

@@PO-wh5fz No he dont he was open minded to everything and had a rough time accepting a religion or even knowing if they are real or not But in the end he accepted that maybe every religion is the same while beeing still not the same In my eyes i can understand exactly what he feels He still sticked with the vikings and went out like his religion told him. Odin visited him and ragnar was allowd to enter the hall of valhalla. if he maybe reached a state where the christian gods allow him to exist in both universe idk but ragnar in the end ended up as a viking accepting the christians and seeing himself as an christian viking sort of. But he is in valhalla there are multiple proofs. Maybe floki just dreamd that stuff cause he miss ragnar maybe there is no religion just like ragnar also said. I dont believe in any. But you may never know. But he didnt end as a christian thats simply not true. Its liking saying he ended up as a pure viking or pure non believer he is a mix of everything since he allowd everything to influence his mind. Something people nowdays dont can. Nowdays all the religion people difference each other in christian, lgbdg christian, muslim, india so on so on and everybody think he is in the right with his religion But everybody forget that were all human and that a religion will forever be unproof and we should accept every one and let the influence take over us to learn new mind states. cause thats exactly what ragnar did.

@@PO-wh5fz His death speech to Aella says You are wrong , He reaffirmed to Aesir so He could enter VolHoll and wait for His Sons. He only was baptised so He could enter Paris and possibly visit Athelstan in Death

Floki

Rollo didn't want common ground, is the only issue.

In which episode was it??❤

What about all the families he have killed? You reap what you sow. Even though its a show, it portrays how psycho they were at that time still

@@yotoyotov4796 The Vikings weren't quite so sensitive, don't worry!!! On the contrary they were even worse than shown in the series!!! They were so bloodthirsty that even their descendants are ashamed of what they did!!! Trust me!!! They offered sacrifices to the gods even in the form of their children if necessary and that they feel sorry for some foreigners there in some non-come there!!!🤔🤫🧐😏

@@danicao.6778it’s a great series , the reality however is a lot different, most at this time we’re simple farmers and traders , there’s a lot of myths about the Viking age as it makes great movies, the Viking age could be brutal as we’re many , but beyond the myth it’s about land and co existence, don’t forget Saxons we’re not so different 🇬🇧

@@raven-wf9so The Saxons never changed and they were always the worst!!! Fickle, manipulative and lying is part of their culture (unculture)!!! They used to paint their bodies blue and live in tree and now they twist like pretzels while trying to talk like Mr.!!! Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa!!! In their tailcoats and with top hats🎩 on their heads but they remained the same crooks as always!!!👹☠️🧐🐖💨🤌

To be fair I was cool with him losing his family after killing Athelstan but at the same time flocking was my favorite character at the end other then bjorn

Floki actually was not television fiction - Hrafna-Flóki was a very real Norse explorer. He was not a viking warrior as depicted in Vikings, but while Iceland had been discovered before him, he was the first Norseman to voyage there intentionally. Hrafna translates to Raven, a nickname given to Flóki as he used Ravens to navigate the passage to Iceland. He unknowingly settled in the harshest north-west regions of Iceland, and while the Summer was kind, his settlers suffered a treacherous Winter and he returned to Scandinavia afterwards believing the land to be without merit, but later returned and spent the rest of his life in Iceland. While he did not (so far as we know) raid as he did in Vikings, or personally discover Greenland or Canada, he is without doubt one of the most famous Norse explorers to live.

Yes he is.

Much love and appreciation great fans for the support all the years, you are the best. ❤❤

When some say" its just a game or show" its never the chase, these works of art, when understood leave us with thoughts, ideas, confrontations, they awake something deep inside any of us. Maybe its our compassionate nature that comes for, who knows. Making us experience stuff that wouldnt be possible, like we were there.

When Lagertha died, Ragna was ready gone, then his "Good" Sons... The show had such a huge impact, on so many levels also for me... And I am too a grown man...

@@NapFloridian yes, it somehow makes me feel very intensly connected. The music also, i listend thru everything of wardruna and it got me hooked. this atmosphere is amazing. it kinda feels like home, feels good.

​@@truthhitshardexactly! You're 100% right vikings and especially ragnar's acting was so good you felt transported into there world. The atmosphere, music, everything made you connect,genuinely like and care about the characters. This was done so well that when ragnar died I cried, and thought about the scenes days, weeks later. It was so epically done in that if I watch the scene of ragnar at his end I get this deep feeling of sadness, but also of goosebumps and a deep feeling of connection to ragnar's character. To this day this still happens even if just randomly seeing it on youtube.

@@alexfpower watching this scene over and over i ask my self, what will be left of me if i die someday? what is left of the guy who always had a stupid/funny line to say. what of my charakter, what parts of me am i taking with me? If i understand myself as a soul that lives on somewhere.

and both became the Seer

Ragnar was lied too and abused

Cringe

Part of life is letting things go

i'd have liked to have seen a spin off of Bjorn adventuring in the middle east !

same,,, i felt it was going downhill and I was even expecting a meh ending and I was surprised when I cried at the ending. It caught me offguard

They crossed a whole dammn continent just to watch the sunset in blanket.

That's the first thing I thought of. The only plausible explanation is that they were on the western coast of Nova Scotia looking out into the Gulf of Maine. They could also have been on the western shore of an island off Newfoundland, but there's very few places you can't see the mainland on the horizon, especially at sunset.

😂

Friend, I sincerely hope that you know sun goes down in the 'west' and rises from the 'east'. I love the show, but it's important not to forget this simple fact. :P Just messing with you anyway..

Wow u got to work on this show how lucky and in what capacity did u get this honor ??

Liar

I was part of the team that designed the backgrounds - we shot the show in Ireland but took photos in Norway to then create the backgrounds digitally in post production@@maryfitzpatrick2738

Yeah what ever.. I also worked on the show 😅

Lol you really tired to low key brag and it didn't work 😅😂

That is how things still work, eventually.

You don’t have a choice life moves on, move with it or be left behind. It’s called time, it’s unending and unforgiving
