Toni 2022-03-27 09:01:13

There are no new movies to watch this weekend. I wanted to take advantage of these two days to write the second season of "The Missionary" , but after GOT S7E4 was leaked yesterday , I suddenly lost my mood after watching it. Instead, I have been reminiscing about the first five seasons . "Game of Thrones" - not to mention, really found a lot of interesting places.

I still follow the original plan to release a new episode of the drama review on Tuesday, but before that, I can make a whole post about relevant clues, maybe not very complete, but the main places are mentioned...

This is a spoiler post that is not a spoiler (the following pictures and plots are all from the first six seasons, but the content will be related to S7E4), so please read as appropriate.

Dragon Bone Dagger

When Bran was knocked unconscious from the tower by James, an assassin suddenly appeared in Winterfell and wanted to stab the unconscious little Bran to death - he took out a dagger that was extraordinary at first glance.

Caitlyn desperately defended her son, and her hands were injured. Fortunately, Xia Xia rushed out in time and killed the assassin.

Afterwards, Catelyn took the dagger to King's Landing in secret, it was the only clue that could help find the culprit, but the well-informed Lord Varys couldn't tell where it came from.

When he could n't do anything, the little finger next to him said that this was his dagger...

" At least once belonged to me, until the Tournament on Prince Joffrey's Name Day, and like most sane people, I bet Sir James would win the lance, so when the Knight of Flowers stabbed him off his horse, I Losing this dagger... (lose to) Tyrion Lannister, little devil. "

When Eddard sent Caitlyn away from King's Land, he still couldn't say who wanted to kill Bran, and advised Caitlyn to be cautious, but Aunt Cat asserted that "it was Lannister. "

Ed's subsequent sentence "Your temper is easy to cause trouble" became a prophecy, and Caitlin really tied Tyrion Lannister soon after, which eventually led to the escalation of the situation.

After Robert's death, Eddard ignored Littlefinger's suggestion to "take power as regent and support Joffrey", and insisted on passing the throne to Stannis, which was probably hostile to the Lannisters .

An important reason is that the two lions and wolves are currently at odds (Aunt Cat catches the little devil, James attacks himself, etc.), and the assassination of his son is indeed likely to be ordered by Lannister.

When Eddard attacked Joffrey, Cersei and others, he realized that he had been betrayed by Littlefinger, and Baelish pressed the dagger against Eddard's throat to force him to surrender.

Since then, the keeled dagger forged from Valyrian steel has disappeared, and the most likely possibility is to return to Petyr Baelish's hands.

At the end of the "Battle of the Five Kings", Littlefinger said his famous words to the eight-clawed spider in the throne room:

Chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder. A lot of people try to get up but fail and never get a chance to try again, they fall and die. Some people had the opportunity to climb, but they refused, they guarded the kingdom, guarded the gods, guarded the love, all illusions. Climbing is what life is all about if the ladder really exists.

The Wolf Sisters in King's Landing

Nymeria bit Joffrey under the orders of Arya, Cersei and others went to the Stark family to discuss, Sansa protected Joffrey, and finally the lady was executed...

After coming to King's Landing, Arya once hated her sister very much . So Ed patiently taught his daughter:

"...Look at me, you are a member of the Stark family at Winterfell, you know our language... You were born in the long summer season and have never experienced other seasons, but now winter really wants Here it comes. We must defend each other in the winter. Look after each other, and Sansa is your sister. "

"I didn't mean to scare you, but I didn't want to lie to you. We came to a dark and dangerous place, and we can't kill each other, understand?"

Under the correct guidance of her father, Arya also said, "Actually, I don't hate her that much" - even if she didn't quite understand it, Arya remembered that siblings must take care of and protect each other .

Arya accidentally heard the conversation between Varys stopped by two golden robes who guarded the door: "Get out. , no angry beggars are allowed to come in here!"

"I'm not a beggar, I live here... I'm looking for my father... My father is the Prime Minister! I'm not a kid, I'm Arya Stark of Winterfell, if you dare touch me, my father will Cut off your two heads and hang them on your guns. Boy, are you going to let me in, or do you have to give you two ears to understand?"

After seeing Ed, Arya said a lot of information incoherently, such as "one more prime minister to die, lions and wolves to fight, bastards, savages", etc. Although she did not know what would happen at such a young age, But she knew that her father would be in danger in King's Landing.

After Robert was seriously injured, Ed knew that King's Landing might become a place of right and wrong, and it was not appropriate to stay, so he arranged for his two daughters to return to their hometown. At this time, Sansa was thinking about marrying Joffrey, and Arya was thinking about it. Can Scilio's "Water Dancer" class still be on...

They did not expect that this would be the last time the father and daughter could talk, and the sisters never met again.

White Walkers performance art

The White Walkers lead the ghouls to kill, seemingly indiscriminately, but in fact they often show some strange patterns.

For example, three night watchmen, including Weima Royce, who got the "Blood of Ice and Fire" , saw a strange scene in the wildling village outside the Great Wall.

The seasoned old ranger bluntly said that this must be strange, because wildlings would not do such things even if they killed each other, but Ser Weimar didn't care... In the end, the two died at the hands of the White Walkers and escaped the Wall alone. He was later executed by Ed.

In addition, after the Battle of the Fist of the First Men, after Mr. Xiong led the remaining night watchmen to leave, Mance Red, Jon, Tormund and other savage groups also came to the battlefield and saw a bigger scene.

The difference from the last time is that this time the White Walkers did not leave human corpses, they were all pieced together from horse corpses ... Everyone once again realized the horror of the White Walkers.

As for the specific reasons, it remains to be verified (friends with more clarity are also welcome to advise).

Missandei

When Daenerys met Missandei for the first time, the latter was still a female slave translator under Krazini. After Daenerys and Krazni initially reached an agreement on "exchanging dragons for the Unsullied", they asked for the transfer of Missandei. Sandy sells it to her as a topping.

Afterwards, there was an open and honest exchange between the two. Daenerys asked about her name, family members, and Astapor. Missandei answered quite appropriately.

Check it out again, no problem...

Drogon's Growth

Today, Drogon is already a giant dragon... Let's briefly review its growth history. As the largest and most aggressive of the three Daenerys dragons, Drogon can simply take the dragon's mother's The growth history is also summarized.

After Drogo's death, Daenerys cremated the witch, her husband's remains, and three dragon eggs, and walked into the majestic fire... In the end, the dragon eggs hatched, and Drogon and his brothers Rhigo and Way Cyrion is born.

Drogon after birth is equivalent to a large parrot, less than a foot in length.

When Daenerys arrived in Qarth, the three dragons became the "diorama" that the city people were eager to watch, and were then taken by the wizard to the Temple of Immortality (in the original book by Daenerys), in the dragon When the mother went to retrieve her child, she was tortured by the wizard... After that, under the order of the mother, the three dragons breathed flames together and burned the wizard to death.

At this time, the size of the three dragons was still too small (one cage would fit all in), and the largest Drogon would not exceed two feet.

When Astapor opened for the second time and led the Unsullied Legion to the city of Yunkai, the size of the three dragons finally increased significantly. The slave owner Razdal Mo Eraz offered gold and the peace talks failed , wanted to get the gold back again, but fled under the threat of Drogon.

At this time, Drogon was almost the size of a young human, about four feet in length.

After winning Yunkai, the unstoppable Daenerys began to march on Meereen again, but now she is increasingly finding it difficult to control the "problem child".

At this moment, Drogon seemed to be the eldest brother of the three dragons, and he had to bite twice on the food that Rhaegal and Viserion caught, and its body length was more than ten feet long.

During Daenerys' reign in Meereen, when she began to have a headache for the Harpy's Son, Drogon's behavior of eating sheep and then people also made her panic, and then she sent three dragons to the big dragon. In the prison in the pyramid, Rhaegal and Viserion were chained, but Drogon was able to escape.

In the "last side" before leaving, Drogon, who was lying on his back, was able to cover the entire top of the pyramid, and it was estimated that it was more than 20 feet long.

Unable to withstand the surging pressure, after the arena reopened, Daenerys was once again besieged by the Harpy Sons on a larger scale. Just when they thought they were about to die, Drogon appeared again, and the fever subsided for a while. the enemy.

Daenerys approached Drogon and helped him pull the spear from him.

At this time, Drogon yelled at her, but the mother was not afraid at all - after feeling her fearlessness, Drogon accepted her again and took her away from the danger.

Judging from the pictures of resting on the Dothraki Sea later, Daenerys is more than enough to ride a dragon, and Drogon's body length is at least thirty feet or more, and may be closer to four feet.

By the time Daenerys conquered the Dothraki class teacher and returned to Meereen in the sixth season, when she met Drogon again, Drogon had become a dragon enough to be frightening.

Drogon at this time is expected to be about eight feet, or even longer...

That is, a dragon like this can make the enemy feel awe.

Check out the stills from episode four:

Well, that's all, I'll be more emotional when I officially watch the fourth episode tomorrow. (You are also welcome to pay attention to my public account "You Love Comment Area".)
