From 2011 to 2019, after eight and nine years of youth broadcast, there is now a sense of dejection that " was mercilessly betrayed before the end " fills my heart...
I would like to believe that Martin once told the screenwriter how 2DB's "Game of Thrones" should end - but from the reality, 2DB obviously didn't bother to connect and polish the ending, they were completely holding the preset "answer" in Set of "process", as for whether it is right or not, they don't care - I can understand why "Game of Thrones" will end in the eighth season, and there are only six episodes: long pain is better than short pain, this is their last mercy.
In view of the trauma caused to me by the fifth episode, I didn't write the "clue sorting" of this episode at all yesterday, and writing a drama review is also a trauma for me, so this article will not bother to sort out the story line and write subtitles, and just say it in order. Let me know my feelings and rants.
[Friendly reminder: There are spoilers for love in the following. 】
At the beginning of this episode, "Gossip Spider" Varys is writing a letter to announce to the whole world: Lords of all Westeros, listen, 囧 · Don't know anything · Aegon Snow Targaryen is qualified to sit King of the Iron Throne.
Martha, the little cook, was the only "little bird" who appeared after Varys surrendered to Daenerys, and the only bit of strength she had was to deal with her queen ...
From the content of the conversation between the two and Martha's panic reaction, we can make a bold guess: Varys may have poisoned the Queen's meal, or he may have given some "soothing and refreshing" medicine , but Daenerys has no choice but to have tea after returning. Don't think about it, he didn't succeed.
While his queen was still alive, Varys ran to Jon's side impatiently, and almost immediately added a yellow robe to him.
As Lord Varys said yourself, you have served so many duplicitous kings and queens, you should have at least political acumen and a sense of security. You know what Jon's stance and temperament are, and you are so reckless to express "treachery" in person. , you're more heartless than Tyrion.
Speaking of Tyrion also made me angry, he was trying to persuade Daenerys to cheer up, but when he started talking, it was his own fault in the end.
"It's my fault." - It's your fault again. If you were half positive in giving advice to the Queen, Daenerys would have sat on the Iron Throne long ago...
In the last episode, I said that the screenwriter insisted on pushing Daenerys on the road of "Mad Queen", but now it seems that she is still very sane, except that she is a little haggard.
Daenerys has the brains of a generation to point out Jon's betrayal, the Prime Minister's incompetence, and the destructive power of secrets.
After Tyrion sold Varys, Daenerys executed him "dragon fire" as promised...
I feel sorry for Long Ma. After Missandei died, she couldn't even report her own name...
After the execution of the rebels, Daenerys looked better. She gave the "collar", Missandei's only personal item, to Grey Worm. As a result, Grey Worm turned his hands and burned it. The idea is the same, only "blood and fire" can calm everything down.
It's better to follow my old team from Essos Continent , but unfortunately, there was only one Grey Worm left among so many confidants, and he was still a general who only knew how to execute orders...
Jon's coming to see Daenerys to show his loyalty is the last chance to stop the Dragon Queen from "going crazy". If Jon can really follow Targaryen's "family style" and continue to put his aunt to sleep, maybe Daenerys will have more in his heart soft……
As a result, Jon was cowardly again, and he didn't even kiss on the mouth, which made Daenerys realize again that "men are big pigs' hooves", "Westeros won't love me"... In this case, just make you afraid of me.
After the last trace of hesitation in her heart was eliminated, Daenerys made it clear that she would not be "merciful" any more.
Can a lion bind itself with a sheep to make a real dragon throw a rat? When a real dragon is on fire, it can bake and eat anything.
Tyrion's feeble persuasion is useless, and he can only hope that the queen will stop fighting when the bell is heard, and reduce the killing as much as possible...
Daenerys told Tyrion about James' situation, which was obviously the last test for him, and it was a test clearly put on the table: choose me, you live; choose brother, you die.
Tyrion is desperate to save James, but his motives for letting him go are a little lost : for his sister and the child in her belly? To reign over millions of innocent people? It seems that there are still... James's statement is also contrary to his personality everywhere.
But one thing is certain, there is a real relationship between the two brothers, and regardless of James's sincerity when he grows up, without this brother who never discriminates against him, Tyrion would not even be able to grow up - still a baby During the period, maybe he was dragged by Cersei and JJ died...
Jaime rescued Tyrion once, and now Tyrion has a chance to return the favor.
This is the only scene in this episode that moved me (the other being Arya and Sandor), brothers hugging each other, and I have no regrets in my life.
The next "King's Landing Offensive and Defense " once again refreshed my lower limit. It can be said that this is the worst war scene in the history of "Game of Thrones". There are too many slots!
First of all, the fact that Cersei took so many civilians into the city before the war was inherently more harmful than beneficial , because she was purely betting on whether Daenerys would continue to be merciful...and with so much talk, King's Landing could soon be taken away If it is empty, as long as the siege coalition forces cut off the supply, it will take a few days for King's Landing to fail without attack (in the second season, under the blockade of Baratheon and Tyrell, King's Landing almost collapsed, and a refugee riot occurred).
Well, even if you rely on the Golden Corps and the Armada to keep the transportation routes open, the supply of King's Landing will not be a problem, but you don't prevent the enemy's spies from sneaking in at all? Does Westeros have a history of breaking the city inside and out?
Even so, Arya and Sandor, two fully-armed, murderous, and fast-paced men, went to the Red Keep like that. Didn't the Lannisters see so many soldiers? It turns out that Brother Gou is wearing an invisibility cloak, which can automatically cover two people.
The scene of James failing to enter the Red Fort is even more hilarious, just like the migrant workers who didn't catch the Spring Festival train - can't you just find someone to open a green channel in advance based on your identity?
Previously, the siege coalition forces caught James because of his golden hand, but now that he is on his own territory, his own family can't see him. It seems that the Lannister soldiers really love their people and have nothing else to do.
After the war started, I deeply felt the taste of being "played" - the strength of the dragon and the attributes of the dragon-slaying crossbow were adjusted every episode . One, in this episode, he took the entire fleet, but he could only be slaughtered by others.
Also, the launch call should be "loose" instead of "fire" - have you all taken the BA's Modern Warfare Theory and Practice course?
Drogon, whose strength, agility, evasion, and mana were all adjusted to MAX+, became a real hanger. He easily wiped out Euron's invincible fleet, and even stabbed the Golden Corps from the rear by surprise... 20,000 people! You still have 2000 warhorses! Where have all gone? !
What kind of dragon-slaying crossbow "giant scorpion", no matter how many there are, it is a decoration. Like all enemies, it is a gift of experience... The last episode and even the last two seasons constantly balance the fighting strength of the two sides is meaningless. Daenerys and Drogon are alone. One dragon can conquer Westeros.
After directly destroying the (paper-pasted) Golden Corps' vital force and breaking through the city gates, the infantry of the coalition forces are more like young and dangerous young men who enter the city to clean up the leaks ...
I am a worm in the society. When I enter the game, I will debut as C. The King of the North and the Onion Knight can only cooperate with the Unsullied.
It stands to reason that the card advantage should have been Cersei's great superiority, but it turned out to be defeated ... Now the bell of surrender is ringing, and the Lannister defenders have also put down their weapons, but Daenerys is not calm, and starts immediately slaughtered the city.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Daenerys' slaughter of the city itself. Whether the defenders of King's Landing surrendered or falsely surrendered, she has already given an ultimatum, and Missandei was also beheaded. Combined with her return to Westeros All kinds of experiences... As a winner, it is not surprising that she wants to slaughter the city - the problem is that this transfer is too blunt! There is no connection, no foreshadowing and no preparation, and it gives the audience the feeling that Daenerys has lost her mind inexplicably!
By the way, as early as the fourth season, Bran had seen the picture of the shadow of the dragon passing over King's Landing through "vision"...
This scene finally appeared in this episode - so Bran had already foreseen what Daenerys would do, so he had to reveal Jon's background to make him king? But if she didn't say so many things, Daenerys might not have come this far... You play with time, and time will play with you. This is a paradox, and there is no need to delve into it.
By the way, Daenerys, if you want revenge, just go and burn the Red Fort. What's the point of repeatedly burning the army and civilians back and forth?
Well, even if you want to stand up with "blood fire", what exactly does Drogon do, did you feed him the whole car of gasoline in the morning? Dragons also have physical limitations (it was also mentioned in the original setting to "feed"), ca n't the dragon flame be sprayed out?
What makes me laugh even more is the scene where Jon stops and kills the rogue soldiers, which is against the laws of war.
If Jon had made clear the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" before the war, restricting the soldiers from committing rape after entering the city, then he would be fine with the soldiers who tried to rape the women on the spot - but Jon in the play obviously did not, he even The soldiers from the northern border who started to slaughter the city with the Dragon Mother couldn't hold it (and they shouldn't in this situation)...
It is an unwritten rule to acquiesce to soldiers to burn, kill, and loot after the city is broken. Jon’s actions against the trend, if one fails to make trouble, the soldiers under his command may directly mutiny and kill him (the soldier who kills the red eye is right The master will use the knife)... It's really been in the north with the Night's Watch, the wildlings, and the White Walkers for a long time. Tormund is right,囧 belongs only to the north, and he is not suitable for King's Landing at all .
Euron, who was lucky enough to escape, was going to kill James as soon as he came ashore, making me full of question marks? ? ? When James saw Euron's first reaction, he went to rescue Cersei together. After all, they were the Queen's "sea and land generals". As a result, Euron's brain circuit was to take James' head and ask Cersei to take the lead? ? ? Or just pure jealousy? ? ?
The fight scene between the two left me scratching my head, and in the end Euron died in such a confused way - didn't you ever think about hanging on Cersei's tree? Why are you suddenly so arrogant? Just because of that nominally your child? Has the most ambitious man in all of Westeros suddenly turned into the most naive honest man? You are honored to die together as a "king" and a "kingslayer"? James was still alive and kicking in the back.
Sandor telling Arya to leave before the Red Keep is destroyed is the most moving scene in this episode for me.
The Dragon Queen went mad and made the Red Keep crumbling. Even if the assassination succeeded, they would not be able to escape. Sandor let Arya leave, not only to let her live, but also to hope that she would not be hated all her life like herself. Devour, torture.
Before leaving , Arya, who was "persuaded", called "The Hound" by her real name for the first and last time: Sandor, thank you.
——But no matter what, it doesn't change the fact that "Arya's assassination trip has gone and returned, it's pointless" , this scene could have been played at any time before, and it's more like a hard concave drama here.
Sandor, who met Cersei and his party, quickly dealt with the iron guard, and Gregor, who was just about to move, couldn't help disobeying the orders of Cersei and Cobain, and suddenly killed his "reborn father"... …
It is a tribute to the classic "Frankenstein" complex that the rare genius of the Seven Kingdoms died in the hands of his creator .
"Clegon Derby" is a fateful battle that has been foreshadowing since the first season of Game of Thrones, but in fact, Sandor doesn't need to kill his brother to prove anything... but he still can't escape.
In other words, "Magic Mountain", you used the same trick to crush the head of "Red Venomous Snake" to deal with your younger brother, it's really bad fun...
Keben is really a generation of gods. The humanoid weapons he created are much more powerful than the ghouls pulled by the Night King. They are not afraid of stabbing, not cutting, and even headshots. It proves once again that " science and technology are the primary productive forces ". Duo can only choose to enter the sea of fire with him and die together.
Poor dog brother, his life came from the fire and went back to the fire.
Another reason for saying that Daenerys "slaughtered the city" was no problem, is that King's Landing was burned by dragon flames, and the green flames of wildfires were often raised: with Cersei's temper, it is impossible not to bury wildfires under King's Landing, but see It seems that she should not perish with the entire King's Landing like the Mad King, but try to use the civilians and wildfires on the streets to stop and kill the enemy troops entering the city.
As a result, Daenerys didn't play cards according to the "routine" at all, and directly beat the old master to death, and burned them all in one fire - she was indeed Aerys's good daughter, and his ideal of "burn them all" finally came to an end. Achieved.
The true meaning of Arya's trip to King's Landing is to witness the atrocities of the "Dragon Queen" who burns King's Landing . Through her perspective, we have fully seen the insignificance of ordinary people in the face of war and absolute power ... Well, I understand, Ellie Ya is wearing a god outfit with full fire resistance and magic resistance...
Also, Daenerys was attacking indiscriminately in the later stage. Only the Dothraki on the front foot ran past, and Drogon on the back foot came to breathe fire... No wonder Jon ordered to evacuate quickly, I guess Drogon must have burned to death. less of yourself.
The final moments of Jaime and Cersei are probably the most beautiful and dreamy ending of the episode , with no enemies to disturb, only the company of lovers.
Cersei lost the war and the child in her womb, but in the end she was not a loser; and Jaime was a winner in life, because his dream was to die in the arms of his lover, and his wish came true (PS: Don't worry too much about the prophecy that Cersei did not die in the hands of "brother", because this sentence only appears in the book, the witch in the play did not say it, and there are three "betrayals" by Daenerys ).
Arya, who survived the catastrophe, walked out of the ruins, the ashes of King's Landing covered the entire city like falling snow, and a white horse appeared in front of her.
This scene is already a bit freehand - on the S7E4's "Rage" battlefield, there was also a close-up of the white horse running for his life on the battlefield. It can be said that the "white horse" is a symbol of hope . Arya, who left on a white horse, also symbolizes the last hope - but, can "Game of Thrones" still have this hope?
To be honest, the current ending of Game of Thrones is not a "bad ending", nor is Game of Thrones a "bad drama", but ignoring the reality and forcing this ending on Game of Thrones, it has achieved what everyone calls a "bad ending" .
