—————————《Song of Ice and Fire Volume Three: Ice "The Storm of Rain"
"The long night is coming, I will watch from now on, until I die." This is the first sentence of the night watchman's oath. The viewers who have been paying attention to "Game of Thrones" must also know that the legendary long night and winter are coming. In the second episode of the seventh season broadcast today, except for the night scene, it is a cloudy and rainy scene, as if the crew are always reminding us that the long night is coming.
The plot of this episode of Dragonstone
unfolds in the war room of Dragonstone, where the famous Narrow Sea Storm is blowing outside. It was in that superstorm that Daenerys was born. I don't know if everyone has noticed. So far, Daenerys's dramas have almost always been played in the Dragonstone Island War Room, instead of sitting on the throne in the city after she conquered those city-states to discuss the situation and issue orders. This shows that Daenerys is playing this game very seriously. Dragonstone is just a springboard, a base that can be attacked and defended. What she wants to do is to conquer this continent efficiently and quickly, so she does not Time to sit on the throne of Dragonstone Island, but to seize the time to figure out how to attack.
Daenerys showed a very different attitude towards Tyrion and Varys in this episode, for the two important ministers who also came from Westeros to take refuge in her. For Tyrion, his tragic life experience and various performances overseas have been enough to prove his loyalty, and deep down, a dwarf who is despised and betrayed by his family and a woman who was once traded as an item can easily be psychologically Find a fit, so Daenerys has absolute trust in Tyrion, but she is obviously not so relieved about the bald eunuch Varys.
In the long run, Varys served her father, Mad King Aerys, as well as Robert and Joffrey, and without exception, Varys ended up being a traitor; Varys, in collaboration with Governor Illyrio, sold Daenerys as an item to the Horse King; a little closer, Varys alone could convince Highgarden and Dorne to join her faction, so in the future Will Varys betray her in the same way one day? Therefore, in this big discussion on loyalty between the two rulers and ministers, Daenerys' performance made it clear that she has mastered some ways of power and power, which is a quality that a qualified ruler must possess. The silver-haired girl back then has disappeared, and now she is the real queen.
The following reception ceremony also took place in the war room. Facing the battle requests made by these new families, Daenerys was not affected at all, but unswervingly implemented her strategic policy. That is to let the Dorne-Highgarden coalition besiege King's Landing, and the Unsullied army to attack the softest underbelly of the Lion's house - Casterly Rock. This is indeed very clever. It can not only eliminate the living power of the Lannister family to the greatest extent, but also disintegrate the Cersei camp without giving Cersei an excuse. After the Lion family is completely eliminated, the other forces in Westeros will also be Good to deal with. But the plan can't keep up with the changes. If Cersei's camp has a high-level commander, instead of sitting in King's Landing, but taking the initiative to take the initiative to defeat the combined forces of Highgarden and Dorne, then the situation will become more complicated, and unfortunately, this matter It really happened.
In this episode, Daenerys keeps talking about the people and her unwillingness to rule the ruins, which shows that she is already a more mature ruler. Dragons are like plug-ins in this world, and no one can control Daenerys. Silk uses dragons to conquer Westeros, but she realizes she can't use dragons so easily. Back then in Meereen, it was precisely because of the brutal killing of dragons that people panicked. Therefore, for Daenerys, this kind of big killer could only be used as a surprise soldier and a deterrent force in key battles, not as a major force. weapons of mass destruction.
There are two other things worth saying about Daenerys. One is about the audience of the red-robed woman, and further tells us that the ice in A Song of Ice and Fire refers to Jon Snow, and the fire refers to Daenerys. Only the two together can block the upcoming. The arrival of the White Walkers, the next episode of Jon's arrival at Dragonstone theoretically paved the way. The other is Daenerys's private meeting with Olenna, Queen of Thorns. Olenna told Daenerys without any hesitation, Tyrion is very smart, but smart people can't be trusted. If you are a dragon, you have to She has the final say, and Daenerys also smiled a little after hearing this, which made me feel that in the later development, Daenerys may no longer obey Tyrion, plus She told Varys that if he betrayed him and burned him, it was hard to tell if the story of her crazy BBQ-loving dad would be repeated for Daenerys.
There is also a passionate scene between Grey Worm and Missandei in the Dragonstone Island line in this episode. As Unsullied, Grey Worm has already lost his sexual function, and his passion with Missandei is more like an ancient Chinese eunuch and palace maid." In the relationship between food and drink, sex is only a means, and fundamentally it is for the comfort of the soul. In fact, their passionate play can also be seen as a continuation of the story of the Lions' literary and art soldiers in the previous episode. It is about the joys and sorrows of ordinary people. They are not qualified to play the Game of Thrones, and they are not qualified to control their own destiny in troubled times. They are the most miserable people in troubled times.
King
's Landing King's Landing has few scenes in this episode, but it is very meaningful. Cersei used people's fear of dragons to spread rumors and made people fear Daenerys and her dragons (just like the KMT said that the Red Army were all cannibals), and this also had a certain effect. On the other hand, the black technology inventor, Bachelor Keben, also developed the Noble Phantasm of the Dragon - the Giant Crossbow. This giant crossbow easily shot through the keel underground in King's Landing City. It seems that with it, the dragon is not so scary, but the theory is the theory, the reality is the reality, when the crossbow encounters it, it can fly and scream. As a fire-breathing living dragon, how much it can play is probably a not-so-optimistic scene.
Cersei is busy, and Jaime is not idle either. Landau Taly, the lord of the Horned Tomb, is not only the biggest vassal of the Rose family, but also one of the few outstanding military strategists in the entire Westeros continent. Therefore, persuading him to join the Lannister family will bring the Lion family to the enemy. A powerful new force, and from the dialogue between James and him, this matter is probably inseparable.
At the end of the episode, we see that Euron's iron fleet has overwhelmed the Theon's fleet that was carrying the Sand Snakes back to Dorne, and Olenna is the only leader of the Dorne-Highgarden coalition. old lady. At this time, if Jaime leads an army to attack the leaderless Dorne, there will be no problem, and if Randalli joins Cersei's faction, Highgarden, which has no generals, will not be able to support it. The Game of Thrones is so fast-changing, and the Lions, who were losing everything before, has improved a little, but the weather can change at any time. Even if the Lannisters have achieved everything they imagined, then How will they face the three-headed dragon?
Tyrion's letter in the north
and Sam's letter flew to Winterfell as quickly as WeChat, which made people sigh that in this world, not only the lords would "teleport" to hang up, but even the raven who sent the letter also learned this. one move. As I expected, Jon, who was worried about the country and the people, had the first reaction to go to Dragonstone Island to dig, dig people, and dig dragons. But at this time, he is no longer alone. His identity is the king of the North. It is inappropriate for a lord to leave the crowd so recklessly. Even the most loyal little loli Lyanna Mormont They all objected, and Sansa naturally couldn't agree with him to do so.
It seems that the differences between the two brothers and sisters are getting bigger and bigger, but this kind of difference will not affect the relationship between the two. Jon chooses to hand over the role of guardian of the north to Sansa, which is a great trust in itself. Apparently, Sansa realized this too. Jon's departure is an experience for Sansa. As the supreme leader, she will sit in Winterfell and lead all the northern lords to face what will happen next; on the other hand, it also means that Littlefinger's The force to suppress the power disappeared, and the next scene completely depends on how Sansa and him fight for brain power.
In this episode, those who show loyalty don't get any good looks, Varys makes the Dragon Queen a threat, Littlefinger doesn't get much favor from Jon, the always shrewd Littlefinger's performance in the catacombs can be described as Stupid, let Jon press against the wall and slap him, thinking that in King's Landing, old Eddard also scolded him like this. He was scolded by father and son in the same posture. I really don't know how Littlefinger feels in his heart. However, Jon left, leaving Sansa alone to control the situation. What Littlefinger wanted to figure out at this moment was how to continue his "girl development plan".
As I deduced in the last episode, Arya has obviously moved home at the symposium with the literary and art soldiers, and in this episode, she met a friend who has been disconnected for a long time-Little Fatty Hot Pie, it's really unimaginable that this little fat man can live in troubled times until now, I can't help but sigh: the fat boy will not be too bad luck. From Hot Pie's chat, Arya learned that the current Winterfell was back in her family's hands, so after eating the pie, she gave up the assassination plan of going south without hesitation, and turned back to go home. .
On the way, Arya also met the direwolf that she raised back then - Nymeria, now Nymeria is the real king of the river land, leading the wolves in the river land. Arya wanted to summon it to go home with her, but Nymeria turned around and left. A disappointed Arya said "That's not you". It was Arya Stark, once a nameless, faceless person, and now she is back as Arya Stark, but her soul has long since changed. She looked at Nymeria's back, which was actually more like looking at herself who had already left.
A pack of wolves lives, a lone wolf dies. We all know that Jon Snow's blood is technically a dragon, so his mission is to find Daenerys. And only Sansa, Bran, and Arya are left with pure direwolf blood. Now Sansa sits in Winterfell, Bran is in the north, Arya is in the south, and it won't be long before they converge come together. Now Sansa has mastered the art of conspiracy, Arya has mastered the art of murder, and Bran has mastered superpowers. The three wolves who have been linked are gathered together, I am afraid no one can bully them anymore.
Sam , who
was "sneaking through books" in Xuecheng and Theon, really found a way to cure grayscale. Although the boss had announced that Jorah would die, Sam would not give up easily, so at night, Sam and Jorah staged a Westeros version of "Scrap the Bone for Poison", but it was much worse than "Scrap the Bone for Poison", because Jorah's entire upper body was basically infected and had to be cut all over again; even worse The main thing is that the chief surgeon is Sam, who only carried books and meals down the toilet before, which is much more frightening than practicing medicine without a license. I could laugh at Sam's face for a year when he was asked by Jorah if he had been cured of this disease before.
At the end of the episode, our little prince Theon wilts again. During Euron's raid, two sand snakes and Asha came to fight against Lu Bu. Unfortunately, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them survived the fight against Lu Bu. These three were not so lucky. Euron, who fell from the sky like a rock star, was like a mad dog. He killed Sand Snake and captured Asha alive. Facing the capture of his sister, Theon, who had always claimed to be the escort, persuaded him again. , turned and jumped into the sea, once again betraying the man he was about to swear allegiance to. But in my opinion, this plot also buried a possibility that Asha was killed, Euron died in the ensuing battle, and when the whole war was over, Theon sat as the only heir to the Iron Islands. Throne, of course, this is just an assumption, whether he can survive to that point depends on the meaning of the screenwriters.
