The Right Way to Open Game of Thrones

Watching the first five seasons of "Game of Thrones" in a few days is a torment. Maybe the expectations are too high, maybe the way to open it is wrong, in short, I'm not excited when I watch it, but I'm calm after watching it, that's all. But after all, with great sincerity, I spent a lot of energy and sleep time to read it. I think there will be a lot of comrades who are rushing to become famous like me. The correct way to open Game of Thrones I summed up, so as not to stray into a corner.

First, look at it as a historical story rather than a heroic epic. History is not interpreted by a certain person, so when watching this TV series, don't preconceived that someone is the protagonist, because the show has no protagonist, or there are too many protagonists. At the same time, I dare to block, the person you define as the protagonist will be easily eliminated in the next paragraph, and then you will continue to find a new so-called protagonist, and then be eliminated again, again and again. This is not to say that it is not good, but it is easy to make people like me who like to follow the protagonist feel sad, and then give up angrily and spurn them. It is too playful. So, remember to follow things and not people when watching the show, remember that this is a sword and sword shadow on a continent, not someone's heroic hegemony. The secret: take the development of things as the context, not the joys and sorrows of the characters as sustenance.

Second, please have a pen and paper ready to record the surname, territory, and members of each family. There are countless armed groups in the play, and the names of the families behind each armed group are long and difficult to distinguish. There are intrigues and treachery among the various families, so the flags of the kings are constantly changing between the territories, what a gibberish. So if you have a memory like me, please distinguish and memorize carefully, or record in detail, otherwise you will be lost in a pile of surnames and territories, and you will not be able to correctly understand the development of the story.

Furthermore, please learn a little about the background and social habits of the Middle Ages in Europe. It will help you to understand and digest some of the plots against human thinking and logic in the play, so as to find reasons to persuade yourself to continue watching.

In addition, although the play is under the banner of historical fantasy themes, the real fantasy-related places are a few dragons, a wizard, and an army of skeletons, and they have little to do with the entire storyline. So, don't expect to see a lot of magical colors, it's pretty realistic overall.

At the same time, please keep in mind the magical place of the Great Wall in the North, which is separated from the mainland and closely connected with major groups. The most important thing is that it is also connected to the mysterious and powerful army (power), and it may also be the biggest easter egg in the whole play.

Finally, all kinds of incomprehensible plots and all kinds of loopholes that can't be justified in the play, please don't go into it, just think that your foundation is too weak to understand the author's superb meaning, otherwise you will have nothing to watch! Speaking of which, I really miss "Breaking Bad"!

  • Lord Varys: You have a choice, my friend. You can stay here at Illyrio's palace and drink yourself to death or you can ride with me to Meereen, meet Daenerys Targaryen and decide if the world is worth fighting for

    Tyrion Lannister: Can I drink myself to death on the road to Meereen?

  • Mance Rayder: [about his execution] How will they do it? Beheading? Hanging?

    [pause]

    Mance Rayder: Bad way to go... I'll be honest with you. I don't want to die. And burned to death? I don't want people to remember me like that, scorched and screaming. But it's better than betraying everything I believe.
