There were ghouls everywhere, he wrote as he heard shouts from the north. ......"Put, let go, let go!" one voice shouted in the dark, another exclaimed, "Damn it! It's big!" said a third voice, "Giant!" The four voices insisted, "Bear, a bear!" The horses neighed, the hounds barked, so many voices that Sam could no longer distinguish. He wrote more quickly, one after another. Enemies include hordes of dead savages, a giant, and even a bear, all of whom pounce on the mountains.

--------"A Song of Ice and Fire Volume 3: The Storm of Ice and Rain"


all say that the tree attracts the wind, and "Game of Thrones" is undoubtedly the most popular tree in the American drama industry this year. It's already flying all over the sky, and then there are all kinds of sneaking and broadcasting, but fortunately everyone is used to it, and they are even speculating that the seventh episode of the drama will be leaked on a few days of the week, I really want to say something to HBO" Haiyan, you can have some snacks." The

Ghostbusters who

walked out of the Great Wall domineeringly at the end of the last episode made people feel particularly tragic, but after the beginning of this episode, it feels as if it was not Wes who went on the expedition. The most manly men on the Telo mainland are the outdoor tour group of Deyun Club. The seven people teased each other along the way, which made the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, so that people almost forgot that these seven guys had a relationship with each other. The relationship between them can be written in a book. Because of these complex relationships, the dialogue between them is also full of interest and meaning.




First up is Tormund and Jon. This pair of brothers and sisters who have experienced the test of life and death together are now like brothers, so they speak without any cover. When talking about the meeting with the Dragon Queen, Tormund mentioned Manthred, the wildling king who was burned to death, "The King Beyond the Wall never knelt, how many of his people died because of his pride. ". This sentence seems to be lamenting that Jon's imitation of Manslade's so-called strength is a bit stupid, but in fact it is still showing Jon's "adopting father complex". As the man who fought against Mansred many times, established a deep friendship and finally saw him die, Mansred's free people's arrogant and unyielding spirit has penetrated into Jon's bone marrow, which is his pride. It is also his shortcoming. As a monarch, whether to waste the lives of his subjects for his own dignity, or to put aside the so-called dignity to seek cooperation with a stronger force, this is a question that the "King of the North" needs to think about.



In the subsequent dialogue with Sir Big Bear, the "adopting father complex" appeared again. Jon is going to return the Valyrian steel sword "Longclaw" that he inherited from Elder Bear to Jorah Mormont. As a legacy of the Mormont family, this sword is more than just a weapon. , but a symbol of the entire Mormont family, and Jorah returned the long claw to Jon, which can be said to be a kind of recognition. Recognizing Jon is also a member of the "Mormont" family. Recognizing Jon Being Xiong Lao's "adopted son" is more important to recognize Jon's ability and status. Because Jorah is the Dragon Queen's personal bodyguard and close person, his recognition of himself is actually equivalent to telling Jon that although Daenerys did not respond clearly, the entire force on the other side is now inclined to help his.



And Jon's third conversation happened between him and the Lightning King. As the resurrected from the dead, the two of them can be said to be the two most similar people in the entire team, so the level of dialogue between them is also much higher. Jon no longer talks about personal emotions in front of King Flash, but mission and responsibility. . "You and I won't rejoice in rebirth, but we can make life go on." Indeed, we can recall that after Jon came back from the dead, he hardly ever laughed again, and became very sad, Then it became death, because rebirth made him feel the emptiness of life. Before the battle of bastards, Melisandre was ordered not to resurrect him if he died. In the battle of bastards, a person rushed forward regardless of the fact that the so-called rights and desires are very important to those who have died. nothingness. The Flash King is different. What he did after he was resurrected from the dead was to influence the hound, because he knew his mission and knew that the hound would be a good fighter. Now Jon has found a way to live like him, and that is to resist the White Walkers and protect the living, which is more important than anything.



Compared to Jon's three meaningful conversations with others, the Hound's conversation with Tormund is a hilarious one. The first time the Hound got along with the Outlander had the word "collapse" written all over his face, and Tormund kicked his innocent big eyes like a country bumpkin who saw a city man for the first time, constantly After questioning the Hound and asking this and that, but this illiterate illiterate who doesn't even know the meaning of "dick" can say something like "You have a pair of sad eyes". There were many shocks, but the one that hit him the most was Tormund's deep love for Brienne. You must know that this woman who was taller than a hound almost killed him at first, but now there is a big stare The madman said that he loved her too much. Could it be that people's brains in cold places are different from those in the south? I think the Hound might be thinking that it might as well have his brother crushed himself in a brazier.

After some "kind and friendly" internal chat, the Ghostbusters finally did the right thing, that is, they captured a ghoul, and told us that killing a White Walker can destroy the White Walker's transformation. All the dead corpses, this should be to pave the way for the future victory over the White Walkers. After all, there are too many dead corpses in the wardrobe. Even if Daenerys is lined up to use the dragon spray, it will take a long time to spray.



I want to complain about Gendry here. As an unparalleled iron-blooded man with a sledgehammer, Gendry's role here turned out to be a living raven. Think about it too, the road to hunt ghosts is all mountainous, so the team cannot ride horses, and the raven, the special animal for Westeros messaging, has not unlocked the map outside the Great Wall, and he is the youngest in the entire team, so take him even if It's a raven with two legs. I have pity on Gendry, he is obviously a man with a hammer, but he traveled thousands of miles to the outside of the Great Wall, ran an icefield marathon, and almost lost his life.



As for the battle scene, there's really nothing to say. The scene of burning money and burning it in place is cool, but it always gives people the feeling that it is not as exciting as the battle of "Difficult Village" back then. Maybe we have seen too much and the taste has become tricky. The only thing that is a bit buggy is that in the end, Jon held on to his death like a dead man, giving the Night King a chance to shoot the dragon. The screenwriter forced to balance the strength gap between the two forces, which is really unacceptable. And the forced appearance of Bunyan Stark is also very abrupt. It can only be said that it is to force Jon's three "spiritual adoptive fathers" together in the play.

The estrangement between Sansa and Arya Littlefinger

seems to have worked, and the sister relationship, which was not very close, deteriorated rapidly because of the letter of persuasion that year. But this letter is just an incentive, and the ultimate problem lies in the rift that the two sisters have had since childhood.

Although Sansa and Arya are sisters, their growth experiences are different since childhood. Sansa is a good child in the eyes of her mother and a lady in the eyes of Winterfell; and Arya is the treasure in her father's heart. The wild child in the eyes of Winterfell. The two children with different personalities despised each other, and now, they have not seen each other for many years.



For this pair of sisters who have not seen each other since childhood, this is a double-blind choice. Sansa is facing the increasingly dissatisfied northern lords. At present, she has done everything she can to keep these people in Winterfell. Once Arya publishes the letter at this time, it will undoubtedly be a depth bomb. Not only will Sansa's prestige be greatly reduced, but even Jon's prestige will be shaken. Facing this sister who has been wandering for many years, with an unpredictable personality and erratic behavior, Sansa is really worried about her.



As for Arya, after returning home after all the hardships, she is faced with a winter city where things are different. Her once most trusted father and brother have all died. Although Jon is not dead, he Also far away, the younger brother has also become an emotionless monster, and only Sansa is left among his relatives. This good girl who used to only be able to embroider has now become a taciturn "Countess", and she is still ambiguous with the enemy's Littlefinger, and the appearance of this letter has further deepened her doubts about her sister. If the letter is not made public, it will be too late for Sansa to do something bad for Jon.



And Littlefinger, who is good at creating chaos, is adding fuel to the fire at this time. The seemingly "kind" proposal to let Brienne coordinate the relationship between the sisters is actually a reminder to Sansa that if you do something to Arya, Brienne will Ni will be the biggest obstacle. So we see Brienne being driven by Sansa to King's Landing, and not even Podrick letting her stay, which is a very dangerous sign, because the result is likely to be a bloodbath.

And Arya didn't sit still. She took the initiative to reveal her "faceless" identity to her sister, and gave Sansa the Valyrian dagger that represented the family's pain. The meaning was very clear. : Now that the knife is in your hand, you can choose to attack me, but I am not something you can kill. I will become anyone who appears by your side and kills you, or even becomes you.



It seems that the two sisters are already standing on the edge of the cliff, and it may be even more difficult for a peaceful solution. This is exactly what Littlefinger, who is standing in the shadows, hopes to see, but he may have forgotten that in the In the shadow behind him, there is another person who can see everything, and that is Bran.

It seems that Daenerys

now only appears in the scene of Tyrion and Varys, and "Game of Thrones" has become "In the Name of the People", and Tyrion, who is worried about the country and the people, gives Daenerys a "benevolent government". "Love the People" political education class, and Daenerys is like a naughty student, constantly talking back to the teacher. From their conversations we can see that not only the lords of Westeros see Daenerys as an outsider, but even Daenerys herself sees herself as an outsider, as if she is about to forget herself Also born in Westeros. How can you rule the people of this continent if you think of yourself as an outsider?



Tyrion is asking a very tough question here about how to rule and how to continue his rule. "Looking at the Problem from the Enemy's Perspective" and "The Problem of the Heir" are actually Tyrion's precise summaries of the last battle. Mainlanders see Daenerys as a savage person, and her burning Tully father and son deepens people's misunderstanding and fear, Game of Thrones is not won by brute force, it will only give you a slight advantage, But it will not let you win in the end. You only need to study the enemy and look at the problem from the enemy's point of view, and then you will know what they want. Starting from a person's desire, there is no enemy that cannot be conquered.

Although Daenerys has dragons, Daenerys herself is flesh and blood, and a reckless charge like last time is hard to guarantee that an arrow will not shoot through her delicate body, and once she dies, No one raises the flag in time, and the Brave New World that Daenerys dreamed of will come to nothing. Just like communism, if Marx died suddenly and no people like Engels, Lenin and Stalin came to inherit, then communism would be just a beautiful picture in theory.

But unfortunately, Daenerys didn't hear much. She once again rode a dragon into the enemy group, and thus lost Viserion, one of the three-headed dragons. It can be said that at this point Daenerys and Jon are very similar. They are both "kings", but they are both "general" things. Leading the way is heroic and morale, but it also puts herself in a dangerous situation and carries her own cause. put in a dangerous situation. This reckless behavior shows how naive they are in terms of holding power, and it makes them sympathetic to each other. They're both new to Game of Thrones and have a lot to learn.



As for the emotional development between the two, I don't think I need to say more. Everyone's only hope now is when they will fall in love together. I guess it will be in the next episode. In the next episode, the first Westeros People's Congress will be held in King's Landing, and players from all kinds of Game of Thrones will gather together. That scene is definitely worth looking forward to.
