Scandinavian Scandals: “The One With All The Mead”
OMG guys, it’s the last episode of Scandinavian Scandals. I have totally been following this show since the first episode and it has (mostly) only gotten better and better. I am SO SAD! that it is over. But join me next week for the LIVE reunion episode where all the actors get together and talk about the making of the show. (WTF — Knútr Hrolf, who plays Ginnungagap, is so hot, but totally got passed up to play Loki in the biopic coming next month!)

Summary
- There are three people: Niflheim (a cold, icy bitch), Muspelt (a red-haired hothead) and Gunnungagap (hot but vapid). Ginnungagap is way hot, and Niflheim and Muspelt can’t resist him. So even though they’re BFFs, they are both way into Ginnungagap. The three go out to a bar and Niflheim starts pounding mead shots. Even though she’s pretty much a skanky whore I feel a little bad for her when Ginnungagap and Muspelt totally start hooking up while she’s blasted in the corner.
- OMG! So drunk wasty-waste Niflheim is taken to the hospital. She’s on life support and the diagnosis doesn’t look good. Her triplet brothers, Ymir and Buri, and younger sister, Audhumla, find out about Muspelt and Ginnungagap’s hookup and decide to avenge her, but Ginnungagap and Muspelt totally outsmart them.
- Buri and Bestla (Muspelt’s older sister) run off to Sweden to elope. Once they get back it turns out they only eloped because Bestla was pregnant with triplets! Oh shit — and Buri is already a baby-daddy (he had a son, Bor, with some rando princess earlier last season if you don’t remember). Bestla’s not just a little pregnant — she’s nine months pregnant, and within days of their elopement out pop Odin, Ve and Vili. Seriously, WTF. Then Niflheim dies.
- While Buri and Bestla are getting busy and poppin’ out babies, we find out that Ymir is a Bad Guy. Like, the worst of them all. It turns out he’s been in league with Ginnungagap and Muspelt the entire time. Once Niflheim dies, the whole sham is exposed. OMG. Is he seriously sleeping with Muspelt? I knew there was something fishy going on when they showed Muspelt and Ymir talking about taking a trip to Svalbard last week.
- Okay, so it turns out Odin, Ve and Vili are, like, these badass mutants that grow super quickly. A week passes and suddenly they’re ripped and shit and ready to actually avenge the death of Niflheim. So this tribe of redheads goes postal on fucking Ginnungagap and Muspelt and Ymir. I don’t see why they needed to show Ymir’s death so graphically. I mean, we get that he died. You don’t need to show us his head getting chopped off. I’ve been watching this show for, like, seventeen years and this is the grossest thing I’ve ever seen.
- OMG I LOVE ODIN. BEST NEW CHARACTER EVER. So when Ymir dies, all the other evil guys, like, kill themselves. So Odin is basically the king, and it turns out he’s, like, super artistic. He goes and sees wise grandpa Yggdrasil, who has totally been super annoyed with all the drama lately. But it looks like he and Odin will be BFFs (or would that be BRFs — Best Relatives Forever — LOL!), and together they, like, make the world. It’s pretty sweet.
Thoughts
- I can’t believe how many characters they killed off, OMG. Niflheim was totally not my favorite character but when she got drunk in the alley in Märsta on Rumspringa and Ginnungagap carries her out of the alleyway all ripped and hot and OMG best and hottest character ever, I thought she was dead. That was when my BF stopped watching because he said the show jumped the seal. Now she is actually dead (my BF Sven still isn’t watching), but so is Ginnungagap (my BFF and I are TOTES holding a funeral for him).
- So I know she died and shit but wasn’t Niflheim’s hair looking AWESOME this episode? SERIOUSLY. I will totally tell my hairdresser to give me that double-twisty-braid looks. Maybe I’ll bring in a carving of Niflheim from the episode. BAD. ASS.
