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

  • [at the Chamber of the Painted Table, Stannis dictates a letter of declaration to Matthos Seaworth. Matthos reads the draft aloud]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and I declare upon the honor of my House, that my beloved brother Robert left...

    Stannis Baratheon: He wasn't "my beloved brother". I didn't love him. He didn't love me.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: A harmless courtesy, your Grace.

    Stannis Baratheon: A lie. Take it out.

    [Matthos erases the word "beloved"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...that my brother Robert left no trueborn heirs, the boy Joffrey, the boy Tommen, and the girl Myrcella, being born of incest between Cersi Lannister and her brother Jaime Lannister. By right of birth...

    Stannis Baratheon: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. Call him what he is.

    [Matthos adds the words "the Kingslayer". Cressen secretly slips a poison pill into his wine cup. No one notices him except Davos]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and her brother Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim...

    Stannis Baratheon: Make it SER Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. Whatever else he is, the man's still a knight.

    [Matthos adds the word "Ser"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...Ser Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros. Let all true men declare their loyalty.

    Stannis Baratheon: When Eddard Stark learnt the truth, he told only me. I'll not make the same mistake. Send copies of that letter to every corner of the realm, from the Arbor to the Wall. The time has come to choose. Let no man claim ignorance as an excuse.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: Your Grace, the Lannisters are the true enemy. If, for the time being, you could make peace with your brother...

    Stannis Baratheon: I'll not make peace with Renly while he calls himself king.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: But many have already declared for him. Mace Tyrell, Randyll Tarly...

    Melisandre: Stannis does not need to beg this lord or that lord for support, the Lord of Light stands behind him.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: And how many ships has the Lord of Light got in his fleet?

    Melisandre: He has no need for ships.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: I'm sure he doesn't, but we do if we're going to war. If not Renly, Your Grace, join forces with Robb Stark.

    Stannis Baratheon: Who'd steal the northern half of my kingdom. I've always served thieves according to their deserts, as you well know, Ser Davos. Joffrey, Renly, Robb Stark, they're all thieves. They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them.

  • 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.
