'Vikings' season 5 finale: 'Ragnarök', a Scandinavian Armageddon, boils down to Ivar vs. Bjorn and the question is who will triumph?

The much-anticipated finale is just days away and fans are divided into Team Ivar and Team Bjorn. It isn't about who deserves to win, it is about who sails to Russia next season.

Season 5 of 'Vikings' gave us gore and shook us to the core with episodes such as 'Murder Most Foul' and 'The Most Terrible Thing.' The finale teases to be the ultimate in the darkness and destruction we will see this season as the era of Ragnarok dawns on Kattegat. As the trailer narrates about gods waging war and brothers turning against brothers, it shows us Bjorn Ironside is in trouble, and could very likely not make it, because the promo teaser certainly does not promise anything good for Ragnar's eldest son.

Ivar, on the other hand, a personification of cruelty, has everything working in his favor. With the upper hand of ruling Kattegat, he has enough men to defend his throne as Bjorn's and Hvitserk's alliance suddenly falls short.
