I feel like there's more to come

Syble 2022-04-19 09:03:05

The rhythm of this season is well controlled, and it makes people want to watch it all the time. There are a few places where I feel a bit of a problem.
The first is whether Shae loves little devils at all? Judging from the previous foreshadowing, it should be true love. But if it is true love, accusing him can still be understood as jealous, resenting him for saying bad things and driving him away, but why is the first reaction to get a knife when he sees the little devil on Tywin's bed? Shouldn't this be a reaction to seeing true love? Even if I did something sorry for him, it was because of my inner injury. Seeing him can be a sarcastic statement. Look, you are right. I am a whore. I am a whore and climbed into your father's bed. Bruised two people. Holding the knife means that the heart is completely blackened, and all the previous confessions and expressions of true love are all disguise, but there is too little transition from disguise to revealing, which is really a bit unconvincing, and it looks cloudy.
The second is that the hounds are a little too protective of Aya. In the beginning, it was for the sake of money, and it was mixed with a good feeling for Sansa, so she protected her sister, plus traveling companions all the way to take care of each other, all these are understandable, but because Aya and Brienne lost their lives, this is just A little too young, because he knew that Brienne was here to protect Aya, since he was defeated and let Aya follow Brienne. He really didn't need to fight for his life, losing his life for that little money was not like what he did.
The third is the image of Tywin. He has always been a tough guy before, and everything he does is considered from the family. Except for his nostalgia for his wife, he can hardly see any real feelings, but he is hanging out with a dwarf son who he despises. Having a prostitute in bed subverts his image. I don't know if there is more explanation for the fifth season.
In addition, I started to hate the dragon girl, because the continuous siege of the city was a bit fake. She shouted under the city, and everyone in the city listened so honestly. This is too fake, shouldn't there be all kinds of cold arrows past?
I like a few points more, the first is the old grandmother of the Tyrell family, who seems to see through all tricks, exposes hypocrisy, speaks witty, and although she is also in the game of thrones, it is not disgusting. The second is the confrontation between the little devil and Shae in court and the sons and daughters of the Lannister family starting to rebel against their father. The little devil has never been loved, is cruel and fits the character very well. Cesei told my father and Jamie that the incest was true. The little devil killed my father. It was a resistance to the repression for a long time. It was very cool to watch, but I was killed by the little devil before I saw the wonderful expression of my father. It's a bit of a pity.
In addition, I am more interested in Bran and the three-eyed raven. It seems that the three-eyed raven is existence itself, which means that it can almost be understood as a god. So what does God want to do? What is his intention? Let Bran do it. Well, it depends on what the next season says.

    The part of Ygritte's death was completely absent from the text, sorry. Goodbye, born from a fire kiss, the most lovable girl in the whole continent.

    The plot is getting better ~ Sansa has grown up with humiliation and burdens, and Arya has turned black and the road to career change has begun. Jonno gradually leads the Great Wall. The conspirators let me look forward to their rivalry~

Two Swords quotes

  • Polliver: You know what? You should come with us.

    [Polliver points at the innkeeper]

    Polliver: His kind, they've always got something hidden away somewhere. Gold, silver, more daughters, always something if you know how to make 'em talk. And there's plenty of in-between here and King's Landing. You could do well for yourself. We certainly have been.

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I'm not going to King's Landing.

    Polliver: Think about it. We could do whatever we like, wherever we go.

    [Polliver taps his surcoat]

    Polliver: These are the king's colors. No one's standing in his way now, which means no one's standing in ours.

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: [leaning forward] Fuck the king.

    [long, uncomfortable silence]

    Polliver: When I heard that Joffrey's dog had tucked tail and run from the Battle of the Blackwater, I didn't believe it. But here you are.

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Here I am. Bring me one of those chickens.

    Polliver: You got money to pay for it?

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: YOU paid for it?

    Polliver: [chuckles] No. But we're the king's men. So, you got money?

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Not a penny. I'll still take that chicken.

    Polliver: Tell you what: we'll trade you. One of our little chickens for one of yours.

    [Polliver turns to look at Arya]

    Polliver: Give us a go at your friend.

    [Polliver turns and motions to one of his men at another table]

    Polliver: Lowell there likes them a bit broken in.

    [pause]

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You're a talker. Listening to talkers makes me thirsty.

    [the Hound reaches across the table, grabs Polliver's drink, and drains it]

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: And hungry. Think I'll take two chickens.

    [Polliver turns and looks at his men, then turns back to the Hound]

    Polliver: You don't seem to understand the situation.

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, I'm gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.

    Polliver: You lived your life for the king. You gonna die for some chickens?

    Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Someone is.

    [another long pause, then everybody draws their weapons and a fight breaks out]

  • [after stabbing a Lannister soldier in Littlefinger's brothel, Oberyn Martell leaves with Tyrion]

    Oberyn Martell: Seems I visited the Lannister brothel by mistake.

    Tyrion Lannister: Oh, they take all kinds.

    Oberyn Martell: [sarcastically] Even Dornishmen.

    Tyrion Lannister: The king is very grateful that you traveled all this way for his wedding.

    Oberyn Martell: Now let us speak truth here, Joffrey is insulted. I am only the second son, after all.

    Tyrion Lannister: Well, speaking as a fellow second son, I've grown rather used to being the family insult.

    [Oberyn laughs]

    Tyrion Lannister: Why did you come to King's Landing, Prince Oberyn?

    Oberyn Martell: I was invited to the royal wedding.

    Tyrion Lannister: I thought we were speaking truth.

    [pause]

    Oberyn Martell: The last time I was in the capital was many years ago. Another wedding. My sister Elia and Rhaegar Targaryen, the Last Dragon. My sister loved him. She bore his children. Swaddled them, rocked them, fed them at her own breast. Elia wouldn't let the wet nurse touch them. And beautiful, noble Rhaegar Targaryen... left her for another woman. That started a war, and the war ended right here, when your father's army took the city.

    Tyrion Lannister: It wasn't actually...

    Oberyn Martell: They butchered those children. My nephew and niece. Carved them up and wrapped them in Lannister cloaks. And my sister. You know what they did to her?

    [Tyrion has been staring at the ground uncomfortably for some time; Oberyn lifts his chin with a finger]

    Oberyn Martell: I'm asking you a question.

    Tyrion Lannister: I've heard rumors.

    Oberyn Martell: [chuckles] So have I. The one I keep hearing is that Gregor Clegane, the Mountain, raped Elia and split her in half with his great sword.

    Tyrion Lannister: I wasn't there. I don't know what...

    Oberyn Martell: If the Mountain killed my sister, your father gave the order.

    [pause]

    Oberyn Martell: Tell your father I'm here. And tell him the Lannisters aren't the only ones who pay their debts.

    [Oberyn walks away]
