Tywin, Jaqen

In this season, all the important characters have appeared, and it is this group of people who have been fighting back and forth to harm Westeros for so long (the Dorne line is gone, the Queen of Thorns has been thinking about it all the time, and nothing major happened until she died) . The Battle of the Five Kings is, I think, the most conflict-intensive and most intense chapter of the entire season. The wolf family in the front won the lion family in a row, and Donglin in the rear was stolen by the Hai family; there Erlu assassinated Sanlu with the shadow of blood, and the battle of Heishuihe was over. In the north, the king outside the Great Wall gathers the savages, in the east, the dragon mother opens the dragon and hangs the dragon, and Emperor Qiao Wencheng Wude, and he reigns in the world. Some of my favorite characters from the play (not the book) also shine, thanks largely to the actors' performances and the screenwriter's guidance.

Duke Tywin, the most powerful character in the play. From the calmness and calmness of tearing the bucks, the dispatch command of Harrenhal, to the extraordinary demeanor of King's Landing, he has successfully created an image of a pure rational, ruthless, and iron-blooded traitor. Regarding his merits and demerits, we should think from his standpoint. His ideal is the glory of the family. His achievements in pacifying the crisis are naturally beyond doubt, and in fact, the victory of the Battle of Heishuihe means the end of the Battle of the Five Kings. If you look at it from the height of human morality, of course he is not a good person, or even cruel, but this is superfluous and naive. As he said, the lion never cares about the idea of ​​​​the sheep. And during the time Erya served him, we can also see that Tywin also has a warm side. As for Tywin's death, my personal understanding is Martin's malicious irony towards him. It's hard to believe that Tywin is not guarded by any guards in a country where murder is so prevalent (maybe there is an octopus conspiracy behind it? To be honest, he still has The ability to engage in prostitutes, with his character, has already given birth to a few more for the family).

Jia Kun, a fan-like character and the strongest person. The three murder promises he gave Erya were like the three golden needles Yang Guo gave Guo Xiang (but Guo Xiang told Yang Guo not to commit suicide, and the bloody Erya asked Jia Kun to commit suicide). Just like the character of the sword fairy in martial arts, the existence of this kind of bull is destined to be super popular. But in the section of the Black and White Courtyard, it is really confusing, including the beginning of pretending not to know Erya, and what is the point of opening the door to welcome her again when Erya gives up? (Just like Ghost King Da kept Ah Yin, "No, we had a good chat just now, and you were very happy to hear it.") The training inside is also bizarre, and there is a perverted senior sister who seems to have a deep hatred and is always smiling. . The House of Black and White is by no means a simple assassin organization. The God of Thousand Faces is also the God of Death, which may indicate that Erya will become the successor, so Jia Kun volunteered to go to Harrenhal to save her; and after Erya assassinated the senior sister, why did she use the face-changing technique? , why did Jia Kun let her go to school? We'll have to wait until Season 8 to find out.

The North Remembers quotes

  • Melisandre: Lord of Light, come to us in our darkness. We offer you these false gods. Take them and cast your light upon us, for the night is dark and full or terrors. After the long summer, darkness will fall heavy on the world. The stars will bleed. The cold breath of winter will freeze the seas... and the dead shall rise in the North.

  • [Robb enters Jaime's cage]

    Jaime Lannister: King in the North. I keep expecting you to leave me in one castle or another for safekeeping, but you've dragged me along from camp to camp. Have you grown fond of me, Stark? Is that it? I've never seen you with a girl.

    Robb Stark: If I left you with one of my bannermen, your father would know within a fortnight. My bannerman would receive a raven with a message: "Release my son and you'll be rich beyond your dreams. Refuse and your house will be destroyed, root and stem."

    Jaime Lannister: You don't trust the loyalty of the men following you into battle?

    Robb Stark: Oh, I trust them with my life. Just not with yours.

    Jaime Lannister: Smart boy. What's wrong? Don't like being called "boy"?

    [Jaime adopts a mocking frown and tone]

    Jaime Lannister: Insulted?

    [Robb glances sternly at a point behind Jaime's shoulder. A deep growl is heard off-screen. Jaime struggles to turn his head to see what made the noise]

    Robb Stark: You insult yourself, Kingslayer. You've been defeated by a boy. You're held captive by a boy. Perhaps you'll be killed by a boy.

    [Jaime tries not to let his fear show as Robb's direwolf, Grey Wind, stalks into the cage]

    Robb Stark: Stannis Baratheon sent ravens to all the high lords of Westeros. King Joffrey Baratheon is neither a true king, nor a true Baratheon. He's your bastard son.

    Jaime Lannister: Well, if that's true, Stannis is the rightful king. How convenient for him.

    Robb Stark: My father learned the truth. That's why you had him executed.

    Jaime Lannister: I was your prisoner when Ned Stark lost his head.

    Robb Stark: Your son killed him so the world wouldn't learn who fathered him, and you... you pushed my brother from a window because he saw you with the queen.

    Jaime Lannister: [still trying not to let his fear show] You have proof? Or do you want to trade gossip like a couple of fishwives?

    Robb Stark: I'm sending one of your cousins down to King's Landing with my peace terms.

    Jaime Lannister: You think my father's going to negotiate with you? You don't know him very well.

    Robb Stark: No... but he's starting to know me.

    Jaime Lannister: Three victories don't make you a conqueror.

    Robb Stark: It's better than three defeats.

    [Robb turns and walks out of the cage. Jaime shuts his eyes as Grey Wind growls threateningly and lunges at his face. When Jaime opens his eyes again, he is unharmed and alone]
