endless good news

After waiting for a year, I read it in a week, which is a bit too extravagant.
Maintaining the high level of the first season, the "hardware settings" such as props, costumes, and special effects can be described as meticulous and luxurious, comparable to Hollywood movies. For other TV shows, this may be the biggest highlight, but in Game of Thrones, these are just the most basic backgrounds.
Its grand worldview makes "The Lord of the Rings" dwarfed by comparison. There are seven kingdoms in the plot, and there are various factions in each kingdom, and there are many mysterious outer domains outside the seven kingdoms.
Its complex character design is estimated to have surpassed that of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Each character has a very distinct and rich personality. There are absolutely no two characters with similar personalities, conversations, and costumes. The story behind each character is enough to make a play on its own.
The surging political drama is the essence of the play. There is no good or bad in the play, but only loyalty, loyalty to the family, loyalty to the master, and loyalty to the promise. There is no friend or foe, only profit, power and revenge.
The unpredictable fate of the characters is also a major feature of the play. In the first season, with the fall of Lord Stark's head, it is doomed that there is no absolute protagonist in this play, and the encounters of each character are also different from other film and television dramas. Commonly used bridges, their growth is full of various accidents and turns, so far I have not guessed the ending of any one person, so there are constant surprises.

    I finally waited for the first episode, and finally saw BRAN again, can you look better, my love!

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]
