North of the Great Wall: Crisis emerges

To describe the northern part of the Great Wall in one sentence, this line cannot be more appropriate: "The greatest man-made building in history, the brave and fearless night watchman army, the terrifying white ghost wandering place." The first episode begins in the cold north. Near the Great Wall, many night watchmen encountered the legendary white ghost. We saw a terrible scene: on the cold snow, the savage's body was placed in a special pattern. It can be seen that the ghost is a very scary creature.

King's Landing: The Prime Minister dies
King of the Seven Kingdoms

Junlin City is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, but a major event has happened here. Prime Minister Jon Alling passed away suddenly, and Robert Baratheon, the king of the Seven Kingdoms, urgently needed a prime minister to handle government affairs on his behalf, so that he could still be at ease. Although the prime minister is the country's second-in-command, one person has less than 10,000 people, but this is a job that can be said to be thankless and torture.

King Robert Baratheon seemed to have done nothing in recent years except eating and drinking. Regarding the choice of prime minister, he thought of Winterfell City Lord Ned Stark, who accompanied him to fight the world and overthrew the rule of the Mad King Targaryen. So he personally took some of his family members, and a bunch of people went straight to Lindong City.

Pantos: the dormant Tagrian
Pantos

The descendants of Iris Targaryen, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms who was previously overthrown by Robert, fled to Pantos overseas. The young girl of the Mad King, Daenerys Targaryen, is beautiful and different from ordinary people. When she was born, a violent storm hit Longshi Island, hence the name " Storm Born ".

Dragon Mother's first appearance is beautifully turned

Daenerys Targaryen's elder brother Viserys Targaryen is the second son of the Mad King, and he wants to fight back to King's Landing and become the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. Wanting revenge to seize the Iron Throne must require men and horses. For the one hundred thousand army of Dothraki tribe leader Drogokao, regardless of the life and death of his sister Daenerys, he married Drogokao, who is known for her barbarism. What Daenerys Targaryen has to do now is to conquer the tall and brave Zogokao, who has his own foothold, not as a slave, but as the queen of the tribe leader.

So beautiful

Winterfell: Winter is coming
Winterfell

A night watchman who had seen the white ghost before fled to Winterfell. Winterfell is currently governed by the Stark family, and Winterfellow is the motto of the Stark family. City lord Ned Stark didn't care about what he said, thinking that what a mad person sees is madness, and the white ghost's saying is pure nonsense. Jie De executed the rebellious ghost in public and asked 10-year-old Bran to watch the execution site.

Stark declares the death penalty

"We follow the ancient tradition. The people of the Stark family still have the blood of the ancestors, and we believe that the person sentenced to death must be done by himself. If you want to take human life, you should at least look into his eyes and listen. His last words. If he can't do this, then maybe he is not guilty of death."

Ed Stark's Family

The deceased Prime Minister Jon Alling was the brother-in-law of Ned Stark’s wife Caitlin Tully Stark. She received a letter from her sister stating that her husband Jon Alling died not because of illness but Ned Stark, who was murdered by the Lannister family (the family of Queen Robert Cersei Lannister), who originally refused to accept the position of prime minister, decided to agree to Robert's request and left Winterfell and went south to King's Landing to take over as prime minister. A post.

The Stark clan is loyal and loyal. Ned Stark's father and brother were killed by the Mad King. Even if the reigning person has changed, it is difficult to say that after ascending to the Iron Throne, he will be involuntarily involuntarily, and he is no longer the former king. Ned Stark is too pediatric about political ideas, and his blind and loyal chivalry is destined to become a victim of power struggles, and becoming prime minister will directly lead to the tragedy of the entire family behind.

Ned Stark has five children, eldest daughter Sansa Stark, second daughter Arya Stark, eldest son Robb Stark, second son Bran Stark and younger son Rickon Stark. There is also a nominally "illegitimate son" Jon Snow and proton/adopted son Theon Greyjoy.

Every child of the Stark family has an ice wolf

On the way they were hunting, they encountered a deer that was ripped apart and a wolf that was already dead. Jon Snow found 5 ice wolves nearby. He suggested to Ruide that the children of the Stark family could be one person and one wolf, but he excluded himself because of his status as an illegitimate child. When Snow found the white ice wolf that was different from the others, Theon Greyjoy laughed at him as a hybrid like that wolf.

Jon Snow was mocked as a bastard by Theon Greyjoy

The eldest daughter, Sansa Stark (three silly), looks exactly like her mother, looks sweet, and has a good demeanor. Lady sometimes becomes a derogatory term. For example, the three silly at this time is still a silly white sweet who doesn't understand anything. He is noble and selfish. With a fascinating aesthetic, I fell in love with Prince Joffrey, and dreamed of being a queen one day in the future. Even in order to realize his wish, he did not hesitate to persuade his mother to let his father stay away from his hometown to take up the post of Prime Minister in King's Landing.

Robb, the three silly nympho eyes, even Hodor who is standing behind can't stand it anymore

As for the virtues of this prince Joffrey, I believe anyone who has seen it will say that the three slaps of the little devil are very pleasing. Because the little devil asked Joffrey to visit the injured Bran, this is the most basic etiquette to show care and respect for the Stark family, not to mention that the royal family is ready to marry the Stark family. Li Miku is going to marry Sansa. As a result, Joffrey spoke bad words and looked down upon the northerners, and he was obviously a spoiled bear kid.

Joffrey is an apprentice to a butcher because of someone else's status, and because of his low status, he can bully others unscrupulously. Arya Stark (Ya) saw Joffrey bullying the butcher brother and couldn't help but stand up and fight Joffrey. Arya’s ice wolf, Namelia, bit Joffrey to protect her owner, and embarks on an escape journey.

Erya Stark's Ice Wolf Namelia

And Sansa, regardless of right from wrong, blamed her sister Arya Stark for the fault. Obviously he witnessed the whole process, but in order to protect the interests of the fiancé, he said that he hadn't seen it, and his elbow had already turned outward towards the Lannister family before he was married.

However, there must be an ice wolf coming out to accept the treatment, so the lady raised by Sansa (three fools) became the one with the back of the pot, but it was a pity that such a docile ice wolf.

Compared to Sansa, Arya Stark (Er Ya) is more like a tomboy, doesn't like needlework, and doesn't care about a series of rules and red tape, so she doesn't like the hypocrisy of the lady Sansa, who is always in harmony with each other. My sister is wrong and plays pranks. She doesn't like red makeup and arms, and she shoots arrows better than the boy Bran. Compared to Sansa's hierarchical concept, she is more loyal and does not care about the identity of the other party.

The second son, Bran Stark, is also a naughty ghost, dreaming of becoming a brave knight. He is curious and loves to climb walls. This hobby also brought him disaster and completely shattered his dream: King Robert brought Queen Cersei Lannister and the others to Winter City as a guest. Bran Stark climbed a wall and accidentally ran into the Queen Cersei Lannister and his twin brother James Lannister having an incestuous affair, so he was pushed down by James and paralyzed for life.

Bran was pushed down the tall building by James

Since then, an assassin came to assassinate Bran. Mother Caitlin Tully Stark discovered that it was a ghost of the Lannister family, so she planned to go to King's Landing to inform her husband Ned Stark.

The sympathy between illegitimate children and tomboys and dwarfs

Because Jon Snow has always been Ned Stark's "illegitimate child" status, Caitlin Tully Stark has always been disgusted with him. So Xue Nuo, who lives in Winterfell, is in an awkward situation, has always been very inferior, and accepts all kinds of cynicism. They have the same lineage of the Stark family, but they have always been treated differently. For example, when welcoming the king, he cannot stand in the forefront with the other children of the Stark family. He was also unable to serve at the banquet, because Caitlin believed that it would be an insult to the royal family if the illegitimate children ate at the same table.

So Jon Snow decided to stay away from this place of right and wrong, join the night watchman, follow his uncle Bunyan Stark, go to the Great Wall of the North and fight side by side with his brothers, and start a new life.

Caitlin looked at Jon Snow hostilely

Although the tomboy Arya Stark is a noble lady, she has no traditional lady temperament at all. Her maverick is not tolerated by the world, and she is often evaluated as an uncultivated wild girl. As a result, the two brothers and sisters who are not sociable have always had a good relationship with each other. Before Xue Nuo left, the blacksmith specially asked the blacksmith to create a dagger and gave it to Arya.

The little demon Tyrion Lannister is the youngest son of Tywin Lannister, the former acting prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms and the Duke of Kaiyan City. He is a dwarf with an ugly appearance. Although he is in the Lannister family, his situation is not much better. In his own words, "all the dwarfs in the world are illegitimate children in the eyes of their father." He was born deformed, which caused his mother's dystocia and death when he was born, so his father and even his sister who was a queen hated him extremely. His sister Cersei Lannister called him a "little beast."

"Then illegitimate child, let me give you some advice. Never forget your identity, because the world will never forget. Use it to arm yourself, and no one can use it to hurt you."

His father Tywin Lannister was the former prime minister during the reign of the Mad King, but his brother James Lannister killed the king. Compared to the rest of the family, the little devil clearly knows his own value.

A good mind is the weapon of the little devil

Although he is called the "little devil", he is kind-hearted and not a bad person. He is a short man in body and a giant in thought. Love reading, good at thinking, and rich in strategy. Although many characters in the play dislike him, the audience loves him to death.

The grudge between Robert and Targaryen

Regarding the true identity of the "illegitimate son" Jon Snow, as early as the first episode of the first season, it was foreshadowed. When I watched it, I didn't expect so many, until the sixth season the audience was completely determined. When King Robert came to Winterfell to talk to Ned Stark, the first thing he did was to go to the cellar to see the sculpture of Sister Ned Stark. It turns out that Ned Stark’s sister is Robert’s true love. Because the eldest son of the Mad King Rega Taglian abducted Ned's sister and Robert's fiancée, Leona Stark, causing her death, Robert hated the Taglian family. Robert appointed Ruide as Prime Minister in the cellar to establish the marriage of the two.

In the first season, the two episodes are generally very grand. The main characters are basically on the stage, and many families are involved. The clues are very complicated. It is difficult to sort out the complicated relationship between the characters in the first time.

The future is just as King Robert said: "The war is about to start. I don't know when it will start, or who the opponent is, but it's about to start."


Let’s talk about my essay plan. I plan to make a column . I plan to divide it into three parts. The first part is to sort out the plots of the first six seasons, talk about some forgotten details and talk about my feelings. It’s not that great. (I hope to end this part before the airing of the seventh season on July 16th, but I feel hopeless) The second part is to build on this foundation and strive to write depth. Mainly introduce the various families involved and related backgrounds. The third part is equivalent to a biography of the characters, specifically analyzing several main characters.

Game of Thrones quotes

  • Stannis Baratheon: We march to victory, or we march to defeat. But we go forward. Only forward.

  • Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies. A story we agree to tell each other over and over until we forget that it's a lie.

    Lord Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.

    Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb; they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
