Episode 5 is a transitional episode before the next climax, and unlike a lot of people, I think it's a good episode -- or should have been even better . In the past hour, many people have "meeted" or "reunited" for the first time, and there are dramas everywhere. Take the "Ghostbusters" who finally set off outside the Great Wall, for example, there are too many entanglements and grievances between them, but it's a pity. Under the "fast forward of the whole story", many good plays were not performed.
The title of this episode is "East Sea Watch" . This is the easternmost castle of the Great Wall, located on the wind-swept beach on the edge of Seal Bay. After the war in the south was initially decided, the focus of the entire Westeros gradually focused on this...
[Reminder: Before reading this article, you can read the “Game of Thrones” S7E5 clues I wrote yesterday: Sansa’s own letter, the chaotic death squad , and some interesting character relationships and clues are mentioned, this article will not repeat Use the previous picture. 】
Battlefield of the Reach
The first scene is the aftermath of the last episode of Dragon Mother's new version of "Raging Fire".
James and Bronn slumped on the shore together, taking a deep breath and sighing for the rest of his life. When he eased up a little, Bronn began to question James' death-defying behavior: "...unless I get what I deserve, Long don't want your life, you don't want your life, only I can kill you ."
It is said that this moment is Bronn's true character, and that it is for his own money to save James... But after all, he sacrificed his life to save it. It seems that the other party's survival is as important as his own money - of course, Bronn is still cunning. Said "When King's Landing is burned by the dragon, I will not help you defend the city."
The highlight is that Daenerys persuades the remnants of the enemy to surrender. Tyrion witnessed this scene after walking through a scorched battlefield.
Daenerys's meaning is very clear, "I'm not the same as Cersei, she is the one who can eat people, and I'm here to free you." The next sentence is " Give you two choices, either surrender or die ."
After all, the prisoner knelt down for a little while; when the dragon called out, he knelt down half .
Of the remaining people standing, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Randyll Tarly, whose toughness makes Tyrion's persuasion pale: Cersei is always from Westeros, and Daenerys is relying on it. Outsiders who are invaded by foreigners, the character of the little devil is also disgusting, how can I come down?
Tyrion wanted to let Randall go to the Great Wall and was refused. When the general was ready to die generously, Dickon also came out...Tyrion persuaded again: Don't worry, the Tully family is going to die.
Deacon's attitude is also very firm - Landau's expression has twists and turns, from anger (the son out of the column), to acquiescence (hoping for the son to surrender), to reassurance (approval of the backbone), and the state of mind before death is sufficient.
When Tyrion still wanted to persuade the queen to imprison them, Daenerys was already impatient: I have given the choice, to be the boss, if you say kill, you have to kill.
Later, Drogon took the lead in burning Randyll and Dickon, and the Tullys were nominally removed from Westeros.
Watching Paoze being burned to death by a dragon on the battlefield is a completely different experience from watching a general being executed after the war. This time, the remaining prisoners all knelt down.
Daenerys' decisive killing and Tyrion's kindness and tenderness are actually right - for the queen, she has given too much favor and too little majesty. The "complete victory" of the hidden danger, just like the Queen of Thorns who was betrayed by Randall and eventually died, "has a dragon look"; for the Prime Minister, the Queen still does not understand the rules of the Westeros game, she is in Essos. The experience on the mainland cannot be copied to the land of his hometown. More importantly, he is worried that the dragon mother will go crazy...
Winterfell
Arya, although not a graduate of "No Name", still retains the habit of learning to be the Faceless: Undercover, the girl learns three new things every day.
First, she saw that Glover and Royce spoke to Sansa successively, hoping that she would replace Jon as the king of the North , but Sansa declined, and clearly stated that "Jon is the king".
For such a clear-cut statement, Arya felt that it was not enough ...
After following her sister back to the room where her parents used to live, she said what she said in her heart: a lord made a rebellious suggestion to you, but you just rejected it without any serious punishment, not even a harsh word to refute it. ...if you're worried about their infidelity, get them to make sure their heads don't move.
Arya's suggestion was right, but when it came time to score - it's not the time when Big Jon wanted to draw a knife and was bitten off by Grey Wind, and then swore allegiance to Robb, and now the Stark family has been severely damaged, The leader is an illegitimate child who used to be a night watchman and a woman who was married to Bolton. The wolf family's rule is like walking on thin ice. Too much emphasis on authority may provoke a backlash.
Sansa can only patiently guide her sister's "unreasonable thoughts" and explain her difficulties.
However, in Arya's view, it is obvious that her sister still has room to refuse and welcome. The idea of "Jon can't come back, I will be the queen myself" lingered in her mind. It was subconscious and unavoidable. ——The question is, is it just selfishness to have this kind of thinking, without the consideration of half responsibility?
Second, she saw "Littlefinger" whispering all over Winterfell . He used money to buy the chef's words, and he secretly talked to Royce and Glover in private, and also took a piece from Maester Walken. A secret letter.
The capital "There is a conspiracy" was engraved on Littlefinger's face, especially the last secret letter, which Sansa secretly ordered to take from Littlefinger's mouth.
The third, she went into Littlefinger's room and found Sansa's letter of surrender to Robb in the first season .
The girl knew three things, she had her own judgment, and left immediately...
But what she "doesn't know" is that she is not the only one who secretly observes, Petyr Baelish is also a good player, he also peeked at Arya not far away, and saw him with a smile, as if " The Alienation Gauge worked.
I have to say that this "stealing book" by Littlefinger seems to be very clever (the letters are real, it is true that people's minds change, and it is true that the two sisters have quarrels), but in fact, the risk is very high (and the use of eagles, wolves, Compared to when the Lion, Fish, and Deer families provoked the Battle of the Five Kings, this time he didn't have a key role to play), maybe Sansa and Arya are just acting, maybe Bran will break through the next day... ...poor generation of conspirators, now more and more dangerous.
As for the conflict between the two sisters, Arya has a point, but Sansa's reason is more than her... And the reason why she still works so hard is because the now nominal Duke of Winterfell, Brandon Stark is not at all. no matter what ...
Bran spent most of his time under the Heart Tree, and this time he controlled the crows to go to the north of the Great Wall to spy on the military , and the direction was beyond the East Seaview, where the White Walker ghoul army was most likely to approach.
It didn't take long for him to discover that the ghouls were endless and endless, and the other ghosts were galloping and leading the entire army ... Then the crows were discovered by the Night King and scattered. Bran made a decisive decision and asked Maester Vulcan to inform the whole of Westeros again .
The real enemies are all over the place, and after so long, they are finally here.
old town
The academic city of the old town received a letter from Winterfell, which means that most of the cities and forces in Westeros have received the news.
However, well-informed maesters generally believed that the paralyzed boy was whimsical. Sam bluntly said that the boy was Brandon Stark, and everyone had reason to believe what he said, and also gave his own advice.
Dr. Marwyn remained ambiguous, only saying that he would seek further confirmation from Maester Vulcan - he was already the one who took care of Sam's opinion most among the Maesters , in contrast, concealed from him that his father and brother were burned to death. In this case, the opinions of the scholars are quite unanimous...
The distressed Sam is still copying the book, but Gilly is enjoying herself, reading a meticulous account of Archbishop Maynard, and seeing a record of "abolishing marriage".
"Maynard said he annulled the marriage for Prince 'Regger' and at the same time married another person for the prince, in a secret ceremony in Dorne."
Gilly read this sentence, indicating that Rhaegar Targaryen has "divorced" his original wife, Elia Martell, and married Lyanna Stark, and their child Jon is not an illegitimate child , his surname is not Blackfire, Shad, or Snow, but Targaryen.
Faced with the historical truth that Gilly has inadvertently revealed, Sam becomes impatient.
It can be seen from the words he yelled at Gilly that he didn't pay attention to what Gilly was saying - from here, it seems to understand why Dr. Marwin asked Sam to copy the book. Although he is a good seedling, he is too impatient. If you want quick success and quick success, you have to temper your temperament . What’s more, even the seemingly boring books may contain valuable secrets and knowledge.
However, Sam's impatience is also justifiable. The situation is urgent and time is short. There is no time to slowly improve himself as usual, and learning can only be more utilitarian.
Sam continued his usual habit: when he left Custer's house, he took Gilly's mother and son with him, and when he left Jiaoling's hometown, he took the Valyrian steel sword "Broken Heart" with him. When he left the academy this time, he I took away a bunch of reference books . Well, stealing books is not stealing...
Only in the look Sam looked back before he left did we understand that he really didn't want to be a dropout if it weren't for the special circumstances .
King's Landing
Returning to King's Landing in dismay, Jaime went straight to Cersei without saying a word - but Cersei asked lightly: How many casualties of our soldiers? It doesn't matter, we have gold, we can also buy mercenaries.
Sister! The Dothraki are too brave, the dragons are too strong, and Kobain's crossbows are useless, we cannot win this battle.
Cersei reminds her brother that no matter the outcome, the Queen on the Iron Throne and the Kingslayer will die... Then Jaime tells the truth about Joffrey's poisoning, and Lady Olenna's last plan comes into play .
After justifying the Queen of Thorns' last words, Cersei began to regret not killing her.
At this point, Jaime was thinking about how to end the war, and Cersei was thinking about burning jade.
The younger brother of the two brought another option . After being smuggled to King's Landing by Davos, Tyrion met his brother Jaime face-to-face again in the dragon's lair under the abduction of Bronn. How many "poisonous words").
Tyrion wanted to reminisce at first, telling Tywin's injustice to him, but James was impatient...
what do you want? Let's get down to business, "more important things".
On the other hand, Davos found "Big Bull" Gendry at the blacksmith shop, and it was the most deadly "official complaint" to greet each other.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Gendry returned to King's Landing, and it was the advice given by Davos who secretly let him go.
After a brief greeting , Davos thought about how to take him away, but before he could finish speaking, Gendry turned around and saluted and prepared to leave. It seemed that he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Davos also wanted to persuade the young man to think clearly before making a decision, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Who knew that Gendry turned around and picked up the hammer and left, we hammered iron with the strength of two arms - follow father...
The most interesting part of this episode is the true nature of the smuggler of "The Onion Knight" . Compared with the nervous Gendry, Davos's way of dealing with the two insatiable gold robes is a textbook bribe .
It is of course the best choice to leave without leaving the corpse, but unfortunately, the two city officials were sent away, and it happened that Tyrion just happened to come back...
I can only do it-under the sneak attack, the big bull hammers one at a time, and the power is greater than it looks ...
After sending off Cobain, who helped Cersei to have a baby, Jaime said Tyrion's intention, and Cersei was not surprised- she acquiesced to the meeting between the two brothers, because she also understood that the situation was unfavorable now, since the advantage If one party intends to reconcile, she is naturally willing to listen to the other party's meaning .
But all the peace talks are illusions, and it's just Cersei's expediency, "The Legion of the Dead, the Dragon Queen, whoever they are, is our enemy." (It can be seen that she also received the letter from Winterfell)
Cersei had already made up her mind to fight to the death, not only for themselves, but also for the child in her womb, Jaime's child.
"Don't betray me again." ——Meeting the little devil without authorization, according to Cersei's meaning, Bronn and James are both rebellious, but she chose to forgive, and in addition to the body, this time she used "children" to James is fastened on...
Unlike the last affectionate embrace, Cersei was determined, while Jaime was hesitant...
dragonstone
Daenerys, who returned triumphantly, rode Drogon to greet Jon for the first time. In addition to wanting to get close, she may also have the intention of showing off and demonstrating.
Unexpectedly, after a brief hesitation, Jon touched Drogon with his own hands, and one person and one dragon became intimate... Daenerys was shocked.
Now that the show has made it clear that Jon is the serious Prince of the Dragon family, he, who is also surnamed Targaryen, has the same position as Daenerys to inherit the Iron Throne - and more importantly, his bloodline has also been stolen. Dragon approved.
The two then exchanged views on the war, and before Jon had figured out what to say about his return from the dead, Jorah returned.
Daenerys couldn't help but be overjoyed to see the healed bear, and then embraced each other, ignoring the awkward nephew on the side... Only Jorah and Jon were slightly jealous. See.
At this moment, Tyrion and Varys are sitting together and worrying. How worried are they ? Even the eight-clawed spiders who never drink alcohol have been drunk... The people they serve are indeed goddesses, but she is overlord even if she doesn't listen to persuasion and skewers people ...
The king insisted on his own way without accepting remonstrance, and he was incompetent as an accomplice. Both of them have experienced this experience, and they have reason to worry.
While worried, the two also talked about the announcement of Winterfell.
Compared with the news that Arya and Bran are still alive, Jon is obviously more worried about the severe situation of the White Walkers. The army is approaching Donghaiwang , and he must get out of here to do something.
Jon's attitude at this time is exactly the same as when he was preparing to fight the "Battle of the Bastards": it doesn't matter how many people he has, whether he can get more reinforcements, 10,000 people want to go, a thousand, a hundred people also want to go...
Even if Daenerys wants to help, Cersei in the south is a problem - at this time, Tyrion takes advantage of the situation and proposes to "bring the evidence to end the war".
It is precisely because of this that there was a scene of smuggling to King's Landing to discuss peace before.
On this trip, Big Bear volunteered to catch the ghoul, and Jon offered to lead the team in person (by the way, it was the same expedition, Daenerys looked at Jon and Jorah in completely different eyes... I felt sorry for Big Bear for a while).
Before preparing to leave, Davos brought Gendry to meet Jon. He also taught Daniel not to reveal his true identity in every possible way. Unexpectedly, when Gendry saw Jon, he immediately shook his head.
Jon is modest and suave, while Gendry is quick-spoken and bold--much like Ed and Robert back in the day. Although Jon's father was actually hammered to death by Gendry's father, the adoptive father is the one who determines the character of the child... Fate and fate are really wonderful.
Among the many farewells before everyone went north, the most chewy ones were the little devil and the big bear. Tyrion used the slave owner's coin to evoke the common memory of the two of them as slaves. He hoped that Jorah could live to bring the coin with him. return.
It's not that I curse you, big bear, you FLAGs are soaring...
Jorah, Jon and others said goodbye to Daenerys in their own way, and the group went north to look at the East China Sea.
East Seaview
There are a total of 19 castles on the Great Wall of Desperation. However, with the sharp decrease in the number of night watchmen, only the three castles of Castle Black, Shadow Tower and East Seaview have been stationed for a long time, although Jon has also implemented the strategy of entering all the castles after he became the commander-in-chief. It is planned, but from the actual location, the three castles in the middle, the west and the east are still the most important.
S7E5 is the first shot of "East Seaview" in the title of Game of Thrones. It moves horizontally eastward from Castle Black to this coastal fortress of the Great Wall, which feels particularly handsome.
At the beginning of this season, Tormund and other freemen rushed to the aid of Donghaiwang, and when Jon and others came, Tormund also received them. no chance to appear again).
After explaining the purpose of the trip, Davos, who successfully brought the group to Donghaiwang, took the initiative to withdraw from the team.
When I am old, I can't go out and make waves like you guys. I will only become a burden, so let's stay and defend the city.
Seeing that Jon had made up his mind and that there were only a few people with him, Tormund told him that there were other people who wanted to go out—the Brotherhood without Banners, who had long been on the way to Eastwatch and ended up being locked up.
In the words of "The King of Lightning", it is fate to open or close one's mouth. If the "King of Light" guides them to come here, there must be their mission.
Next is a large wave of "recognizing relatives, recognizing hatred, and recognizing old" conferences.
Jon saw the Hound first , they met at Winterfell, not to mention Arya, the two of them don't have much connection...
Gendry sees Berry Dondarrion differently.
The Brotherhood Without Banners once sold itself like an animal to Melisandre, and if Davos hadn't taken the risk, he might have been "sucked dry" by the red-robed woman, so he had nothing to do with Berry, Soros, and others. A nice word.
Jorah recognized Soros , and frankly said that he could hardly recognize the red-robed monk who played the fire sword in his memory. Soros also recognized the warrior who first climbed the top of Pike's city wall with him.
They were leading comrades in the Greyjoy Rebellion.
Because Soros said Jorah's full name, Tormund also re-acquainted with the big bear . It turns out that your big man is the son of Xiong Lao, and your father killed us so hard! You must know that the Night's Watch began to accept wildlings when Jon was the commander-in-chief. Before that, there had always been a blood feud between the crows and the wildlings...
Jorah retained the most basic dignity of being a son, and immediately went back: each other.
... With such a group of people with entanglements gathered together, King Flash is even more happy. It seems that it is impossible to believe in fate. We are destined to go out to the jungle together.
Jon to capture the White Walkers as evidence, Tormund to support Jon, Jorah to be loyal to the Queen, Sandor to pursue the vision in the fire, Berry and Thoros for the sacred mission of the "Lord of Light", Gendry Just trying to prove myself...
Everyone has their own purpose, why do they have to have a unified view?
So, the hound told the truth: stop talking about useless things, can you go?
This is the reality, Jon continued to play his role as the leader and political commissar on the spot, saying: We are all on one side, because we are still angry.
And this scene is also the main reason why I think this episode is too rushed and I feel sorry for it. This group of seven people has many grievances, entanglements, pasts, and contradictions . Jon and Jorah (Old Xiong's Successor and son, or rival), Jorah and Tormund (potential hostility), Soros and Jorah (comrade-in-arms), Berry and Gendry (faith and hatred), Gendry and Jon (father's "illegitimate son") , Sandor and Jon (old acquaintance), and even Davos on one side can have another relationship.
To put it bluntly, the intricate relationship between this group of people does not depend on Jon's words "Everyone is breathing", and they can be perfectly smooth and on the road. It is not too bad to spend an entire episode depicting their preparations in Donghaiwang before departure. many……
But time is running out, for people inside and outside of the show, everyone can only hurry up and get on the road - these seven people lead the "Ghostbusters" composed of part of the Brotherhood without Banners, the Freemen, and the Night's Watch to the Great Wall Going out, they are going to bring back the "evidence".
The Night King's army is not far from Donghaiwang, and I believe they will soon be able to meet their goals and find the answers they want.
