A little impression of the characters of Ma Long, Hound, and Robert Stark

Give a big five stars first! For a TV series, the character design is so rigorous that no one is there. Let me write some of my own thoughts:

Long Ma walked into the tent of black magic and saw the drago she was thinking about. Although he still had a firm and domineering tone, those blurred and wandering eyes made her walk out of the tent firmly and smash it with her own hands. This dream has been hidden in her heart. Black magic is the heart, so as the saying in "The Fatal Key", believe it and you will lose. So Long Ma understands that it is an illusion, so she can use the dragon fire to burn the magician neatly.

The Hound saw the endless flames of war burn out over a bloody corpse, and the shadows of childhood made him completely engulfed in fear. He turned and ran away, hoping to escape the flames of war, but also to leave that hellish memory behind forever. I guess, if this shadow keeps lingering, one day, at a critical moment, all his courage will be pulled out, making him shiver like a child, so the ending can be imagined.

lady stark talked about life with her son earnestly, looking into his eyes word by word and saying that love is the accumulation of time. However, he ignored the whole army, fell into the fog of his first love with a girl whom he had met for the first time, abandoned his family halo, left his hometown, and was deeply attracted by her who believed that everyone had an equal soul, and then forged a relationship with her. A secret but solemn marriage contract. He is not like Long Ma - although sympathetic, he always has a firm belief that if anyone turns to the left with him, that is, "those who stand in my way die, and those who betray me perish". That's true uniformity. Although he is the leader of the army and has won many battles, he is like an ignorant first love boy in his heart, and he still has fairy tale-like expectations for the kindness of human nature. He is prone to trusting others, like his father, and will probably cost his young life because of it.

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.
