The seventh season of Game of Thrones started with the last episode, which I thought was the best episode last week, but this week's fourth episode overturned my conclusion. Game of Thrones is like that, there is no best, only better. Maybe, the next episode of the human-ghost war will overturn my cognition again.
This is a touching and boiling episode: Erya finally goes home to reunite with the wolf siblings, the little ambiguous relationship between Jon Snow and Long Ma, and the last ten minutes of the classic, super-burning war scene - riding With the legendary dragon mother, the brave Dothraki warriors, the instantly raging Reach, and the golden-handed knight who rushed to the dragon and died in the smoke.
The title of this episode is "The Spoils Of War", and the story still revolves around several major places in King's Landing, Winterfell, Dragonstone, and the Reach. In the face of the dragon that actually appeared in the legend, human beings are insignificant, and at that moment I sympathized with the well-trained Lannister soldiers.
There is an episode before the broadcast of this episode: because the show is too popular, the fourth episode was stolen by hackers and leaked in advance. It is said that the current development of the story unfortunately coincides with the spoilers of the episodes circulating on the Internet. I am glad that I did not watch it, otherwise I will lose a lot of fun.
"I'm not Lord Stark."
So far, Littlefinger has done two things in Winterfell. First, as He Han from Westeros, he continues his girl development plan and brainwashes Sansa; second, he loves Kate deeply. Lin's name continued to show his loyalty to the Stark family's children. At this time, he already owned the valley, and it was considered a counterattack to climb to the noble class to become a prince, but this was far from satisfying his ambition.
Littlefinger gives Bran the Valyrian steel dagger of the story, which was used by an assassin to kill Bran. Bran asks him who the dagger's owner is, but Littlefinger says he doesn't know. Littlefinger swore to Caitlin in the first season that he once lost a bet to the little devil in the tournament (Littlefinger's version is that Jaime Lannister lost to the Knight of Flowers at that time, and he blocked it. Mu, and the little devil bet on the Knight of Flowers), the current owner of that dagger is the little devil, and it was his words that led Caitlyn to kidnap the little devil, thus triggering the wolf-lion war.
As for who sent the assassin back then, it is still a mystery in the play. At first, many people thought it was Cersei's faction, but now with the development of the plot, there are two different opinions: one is that Littlefinger's faction, the other is that Joffrey's faction.
In short, it is not a little devil, because the little devil in the original book explained it like this:
"Then you're a hopeless idiot, Mrs. Stark. Littlefinger has never loved anyone but himself. There's a serious omission in Littlefinger's story. Mrs. Stark, believe it or not. If you don't believe me, I can assure you - when I bet against others, I only bet on my own family."
The little devil only bets on his own family. The end of this episode should be his extremely painful and tangled "Black Ten Minutes"!
Littlefinger calls Brandon Brandon, wondering if the name Brandon has become his nightmare, evoking a painful past: when his beloved Caitlin Tully was betrothed to Brandon Shi Tucker is his wife, and the weak he is only 15 years old. He finds 20-year-old Brandon to duel like a warrior, but leaves an indelible scar.
That duel was a turning point in his life, and since then he has decided not to fight head-to-head according to their rules, but to use his own ways to play tricks behind the scenes.
When Littlefinger encounters the Starks, it will be bad, it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted. After the last time I dutifully experienced Lord Snow's unique chokehold skills in the underground tomb, this time I experienced Bran's cold and poisonous tongue skills. "I think you must have seen things that most people don't want to believe." He thought he had seen through the vicissitudes of Bran, but he never thought that the other party said the classic words he once said: "Chaos is a ladder"
This sentence once appeared in the sixth episode of the third season. The two senior players of Game of Thrones, Varys and Littlefinger, met each other and analyzed the current situation. Varys, who was worried about the country and the people, asked Littlefinger what the chaos could do to the country. Littlefinger really taught Varys a lesson: "Chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder." Littlefinger is eager for chaos, because only in the He had a chance in the chaos.
His little secret was revealed in this way, and Littlefinger's face was filled with various emotions: surprise, fear and anger (thanks to the wonderful performance of the actor here). In the end, Uncle Finger still maintained his mastery and regained his composure. , don't forget to call Bran Lord Stark. It seems that he still underestimated the children of the wolf family, thinking that they would be as easily played by him as their parents.
Bran didn't appreciate it. He said to Littlefinger, "I'm not Lord Stark." Bran once dreamed of becoming a knight, but fate made him inherit the mantle of the Three-Eyed Raven. Bran was the lord of Winterfell after Robb went south in season 2, and he has the ability to be a good lord.
Today's Bran can't care about the love of those sons and daughters. He has stronger enemies to face. He carries too many memories, and he is no longer a Stark. As Meera Reed said, the old Bran died in that cave.
"Caitlyn Stark would be proud"
Erya finally returned to Winterfell. Just like the scene in King's Landing in the fifth episode of the first season, two soldiers who had eyes but didn't know Mount Tai stopped her from the door. At this time, Erya was much more stable. , did not yell at them.
Everything has changed. Although Stark's family crest still hangs on the city wall, it is no longer the Winterfell in memory. The former Maester Luwin and the instructor Roderick Cassel are no longer there. No one will remember those old people.
Erya can only express her nostalgia for her old friend by going to the underground tomb. Although Sansa and Erya are always noisy in the first season, they are a family after all, and there is always a tacit understanding between sisters. Sansa Immediately guessed that Erya was in the underground tomb, and the two sisters hugged for the first time after many years. Sansa lamented that most of the people who were familiar with her father Ned's face had passed away. Erya said to Sansa, "But we are still here, and our story will continue." The original worst Stark family is on the rise, until the last moment, who can think of the final outcome.
The two sisters met Bran under the heart tree, and the scene of the reunion of the three siblings of the wolf family should make their mother and family-oriented Aunt Cat feel more gratified. Bran talked about Erya's plan to assassinate Cersei and her kill list. At this time, Sansa thought her sister was just talking, until she later saw Erya and Brienne's test. Facing the beautiful Brienne who had defeated the hound before, Erya did not lose in the slightest, and deftly defeated Brienne with a small sword, a trick she had never seen before.
Sansa's expression was complicated, he glanced at Littlefinger and left unhappy. I think Sansa has matured at this time, and is no longer the three fools of the past, so it is impossible to say that she is jealous of Erya's talent or that she is in love with Littlefinger because she is afraid that her sister will kill him.
The Sansa I understand is probably very contradictory in her heart: she finally reunited her family, but her brother and sister became the most familiar strangers: one became a magician, the other became a heroine, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it for a while. . All the Starks are hanging up, only their own hands are powerless, and they are still alive. They exposed their details to Littlefinger so recklessly, and the words Littlefinger said to her in the last episode rang in her ears again: "Everyone is your enemy, and everyone is your friend. "His words added to Sansa's sense of crisis, she didn't dare to trust anyone.
Bran gave the dagger that Littlefinger gave him to Erya, wondering if he had foreseen the future outcome, maybe Erya was destined to do something with this dagger. Remember also in the last episode, under the heart tree, where Bran told Sansa that he could see what had happened to anyone before and what was happening now, but it was all bits and pieces, maybe he didn't All the pieces put together a complete storyline, and he needs to learn to see more clearly.
Thousands of years of memories flooded into his mind in an instant, which is not something a child of Bran's age can bear. Anyone else would have that sense of heaviness and vicissitudes.
"I noticed you've been staring at her"
Missandei and Long Ma, who are also women, were chatting about Grey Worm. The appearance of Jon Snow interrupted their conversation. Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Jon Snow was still nothing. knowledge.
Snow took Long Ma into the cave where Dragon Crystal was mined, and borrowed the murals on the wall to persuade Long Ma to join the team against the White Walkers. Long Ma's tone this time is not as tough as before, but she still insists on the bottom line: let me help you, as long as you surrender to me. She asked Snow: "Is your self-esteem more important than their lives?" Snow once said the same thing to "King Beyond the Wall" Mance Reid, at this time, Snow finally understood Mance's attitude at that time. Difficulties, to make the northerners surrender to the southerners, is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky.
When Long Ma learned that allies were lost one after another and battles were being defeated, he began to question the little devil (the little devil once again acted as a scapegoat), she decided to abandon those benevolent thoughts, and planned to bring the dragon to go on a personal expedition, and even wanted to follow the example of her ancestors Aegon I Targaryen killed all those who opposed her and razed the Red Keep to the ground.
House Targaryen has a tendency to go crazy due to intermarriage. Jaehaerys II Targaryen once said: "Whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin into the air, choosing between madness or greatness."
Long Ma has Targaryen's crazy genes. At this time, she is still a little sensible. She asked for Jon's opinion. It can be seen that she still values the king of the north very much in her heart.
They sympathize with each other because everything they do is for their people, and they both want to build a new world to replace the vile and rampant world that is running today. Perhaps seeing this layer, the Onion Knight also wentssips and acted as a matchmaker.
Theon Greyjoy returned to Dragonstone Island. He wanted to ask Longma to send troops to save his sister Yara. Unexpectedly, the enemy's road was narrow, and the Queen did not see Snow, but saw Snow. Theon once betrayed Robb and killed the coach Roderick. If he hadn't rescued Sansa, he would have been cut into pieces long ago. Compared to Littlefinger, he should be thankful, because there is no wall at this time, otherwise he will definitely see the Stark family's unique wall-throwing technique.
Theon no longer mocked Jon Snow's illegitimate child status as arrogantly as he did back then. He was afraid that he would have to sacrifice more to change the views of others and complete self-redemption.
"The iron vault will be your strong backing, as long as the gold arrives on time."
In this episode, Cersei is still talking to Braavos Iron Vault representative Tycho Nestos (also the brother of Cumford), and the Iron Vault is amazed at Cersei's efficiency: then a large amount of debt is paid in one go Clear (Gao Ting really has food and money). The gold was delivered on time, but I don't know if the Iron Vault will still be Cersei's strong backing after seeing the real dragon's wrath.
Many people have developed a strong interest in the mysterious organization of the Iron Vault in the last episode. The following is from the Chinese Wikipedia of A Song of Ice and Fire, which is very comprehensive:
The Iron Bank of Braavos is the most important bank in Braavos. It is very rich and often lends money to outsiders. Among its clients are the kings of the Seven Kingdoms. While all Free Cities have their own banks, the Iron Vault is richer and more powerful than all the other banks combined. It has a terrible reputation for collecting debt. When princes or kings default on their debts, or are stupid enough to disrespect their contracts with the Iron Vault, new princes or kings (with financial assistance from the Iron Vault) spring up like mushrooms. These new princes or kings would then have to acknowledge the previous debts and repay the money they borrowed from the Iron Vault to win the throne, lest they suffer the same fate as their predecessors. Littlefinger had borrowed money from the Iron Vault to pay for King Robert's day-to-day expenses, which had also financed the Night's Watch and Stannis Baratheon. Braavosians have a saying: "The iron vault is not in arrears"
"You f**king idiot."
Most of the gold has been sent to King's Landing quickly (fortunately they moved fast enough, otherwise Cersei may not be able to explain to the Iron Vault), Jaime Lannister and Randyll Tarly and Bronn led the army at this time. The last and last batch of supplies and provisions for the carriage.
At this time, Fat Sam in the academy should be thankful that his father Randall has been berating himself for being fat and cowardly, otherwise it would not be his younger brother Dickon Tully but his Sam Tully who faced the dragon for the first time on the battlefield. Mu still couldn't remember other people's names, always remembering Dickon as Rickon of the Starks.
The battle of High Court was a complete victory, and they were in a good mood talking and laughing. At this time, Bronn heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the Dothraki cavalry came, and they immediately fell into a state of preparation. Bronn asked James to escape as soon as possible. One second, James calmly told Bronn that we could hold the Dothraki cavalry. The next second, James was blinded because they saw an unbelievable scene: Weiss For the first time, the people of Telo met the legendary soaring dragon.
At this time, he couldn't think about it too much. Maintaining the morale of the army and maintaining the formation was the most important thing. Under his inspiration, the well-trained Lannister soldiers did not lose their armor or armor in the face of Dragon Flame and Dothraki cavalry. If there is no hanging dragon, they may really be able to resist the attack of the Dothraki barbarians, and it is unclear who will win.
The fighting method of Long Ma carrying the dragon is simple and rude. In the words of netizens, it is divided into three steps: delete the entire row, delete the entire column, and finally clear the table.
Thousands of arrows could not hurt the dragon at all. At this time, the giant dragon slayer developed by Keben came in handy. Bronn shot two arrows in a row and finally hit Drogon. It can be said that Bronn was loyal and devoted himself to the Lion family. He was the savior of the Lannister brothers. He didn't get the castle he dreamed of. The reward he finally got was the big bag of gold scattered on the ground. In a critical situation, what is money compared to life?
The dragon is roaring, the horse is screaming, the river bend is roaring, and the battlefield has become a feast for the god of death. Looking at the subordinates who are in the pain of the fire, James is confused. Who is he fighting for? Where should the army be led?
At this time, the little devil had mixed feelings on the mountain, and his lord no longer trusted him, and he brought him to the battlefield on purpose to let him witness all this with his own eyes. As a member of the Lion family, he silently endured Kao's cynicism, watching the Lion soldiers who died in the fire and their helpless brother, "Castame's Rainy Season" sounded, "Run, you A fool", the little devil hopes that his brother can escape from death this time.
James once recalled his past self: the boy who wanted to be Arthur Dayne when he was a child, but somehow his life took a turn and he finally became the Smile Knight. He remembered the moment when he was 15 years old and was knighted by his idol while fighting valiantly in the battle against the Kingswood Brotherhood.
At this moment, he decided to stand up bravely, like a real knight, in the smoke of gunpowder, he rushed to the giant dragon and died.
At this moment, he was still the fool who regarded "Dawn Excalibur" Arthur Dayne as his idol and longed to be a hero.
Many people in this world insulted him because of his greatest favor. Maybe one day, as he thought, the common people would really call him the golden hand general: the just golden hand general, the heroic golden hand general, the fearless golden general Hand General.
Fate was not destined to let him die so tragically, and he still had an unfinished mission. He is a true knight, sadly like a fool, but proud like a god of war.
