    @GogaieBombardier Před 11 měsíci +623

    He doesn’t fully understand how heaven works in Christianity, he figures “heavens”, like the sky, so he buries him as high as possible so it’d be easier for Athelstan to go to heaven.

    I don't think I've ever seen a show capture a pure friendship as well as they did. Their bond was something special I've never seen replicated.
    Really loved when he was choosing to stay and Ragnar says "if you change your mind, your friends will be leaving at first light" as a way to signal that although he's annoyed by his decision, he still loves him and wants the best for him and just hopes he comes with him for his safety.

    Vikings should have won multiple awards including the actors. Such a shame. Ragnar and Aethelstan's relationship was great to watch. It not only showed how much of a pioneer and trailblazer that Ragnar was as a person but also how open minded he was to concepts and thoughts that were not his own nor part of his culture. Its that thinking that allowed him and his sons to have so much fame and success. That mindset allowed him to develop a brotherhood bond with Aethelstan. The conversations and time spent really highlight how much goes into developing friendships and bonds that stand the test of hardships and challenges. Ragnar challenged Aethelstan and his way of life and thinking and Aethelstan did the same. In the end it expanded their capacity to think for themselves and own their own choices and decisions in relation to their journeys and those around them.

    The show simply could not keep up this quality of characters and relationships. Once Ragnar died this show dropped heavy
