"Game of Thrones" S7E7: Ice and fire blend, wolves gather

Deontae 2022-03-29 09:01:06

The Season 7 finale sparked a lot of buzz, and many things finally happened.

After a fast-forward of the first six episodes, this episode finally slowed down a little bit and started to slowly tell something, although I deeply regret the scribbles of Littlefinger, but overall I am very happy with this episode. The ending is quite satisfactory.

Some of the more impressive points include: Jon is Eddard's good son, Lord Baelish is through the ages, and James is a true knight. In addition to the dirty hound, the gods and the masters can also speak cross talk. Theon finally After finding myself, Lord Night King hurry up and head south... Of course, my favorite is the "pointing topic" of the two sisters at the top of the Winterfell City Wall: Winter is coming, the wind and snow are blowing, the lone wolf dies, the wolves gather in groups - not only the surname Stark's Sansa, Arya, and Bran, Jon and Theon are also the children of the wolf family. To put it further, all human beings should hug together for warmth in the winter, because unity is the basic condition for survival.

King's Landing

"Dragon Cave Conference" is one of Game of Thrones' best group dramas so far. It has so many characters, wonderful atmosphere before and after, close connection between deep and shallow clues, and deep influence on the human situation, it can be regarded as the most so far.

Take the privates of all parties before the negotiation as an example. The Unsullied Legion was brimming with spears, and the Dothraki cavalry roared. The combination of silence and movement fully demonstrated the mighty military power of Daenerys.

When the two major armies approached the city, it also showed the tense preparations on the city's head, as well as James and Bronn fighting each other, the theme is "cockless", in addition to describing the "movement and stillness" of alertness, there are The "big and small" sense of hierarchy.

The theme of this conference is "Peace" , the protagonists are Queen Cersei on the Iron Throne and Daenerys , Queen of the Power Seizing Dragon. ——

In addition to the only remaining Lannister army on the top of the city, Euron's Armada must also be present. If this important force is not present at the moment, Cersei's sincerity in the peace talks will be questioned.

Landing in King's Landing, on the way to the Dragon's Cave, it was still a round of recognizing relatives and recognizing the old. The topic of Sandor and Brienne, of course, was the life-and-death battle and Arya.

When the beauty said that the little girl was unstoppable now, the Hound showed a hearty expression, and the two were quite relieved that "their own children have grown up" , and I wondered how Tormund would feel when he saw this scene.

The reunion of " Heroes on the Blackwater River " also makes people feel emotional. Podrick still misses Tyrion. Tyrion did not forget to turn against him when he was chatting with Bronn. Go for a drink with Podrick...

Now, the three old acquaintances have their own masters, and maybe one day they will meet again, but no matter what their positions are, the phrase "I'm glad to see you again" between the three must be true.

In the battle of the Blackwater River, there was also the Hound who stood beside Tyrion. He finally stopped bearing it and escaped from the stinking city, but now he has returned with a new mission.

"Will I die in this broken city?" It will be more interesting to watch the confrontation between the Hound and the Demon Mountain after this sentence - he will definitely return to King's Landing again, for his brother.

Cersei, who believes in " big people must appear late", deliberately came a step late, but after sitting down, she found that the "silver-haired bitch" came later than her, appeared more aggressive than her, and even spoke more calmly than herself...

In the first confrontation between the two queens, Cersei was held steady by Daenerys.

After being silent for a while, Tyrion began to speak, and Euron, who was open-mouthed, immediately became angry. He first attacked his nephew Theon, and then publicly questioned and humiliated Tyrion. The two who were beaten immediately used "dwarf jokes" The meme sings and fights back.

The frustrated Euron was forcibly pulled back to his seat by the two lions, but this little episode could not change the tense atmosphere. At the end of the day, none of the parties here can trust each other, and there are several blood feuds that are not counted, and normal conversations cannot go on at all.

Then go straight to the main course.

"Saint Seiya" Sandor came to the crowd with a cloak box on his back.

After carefully opening it, the cute little ghoul with blue eyes and carrion and bones immediately rushed towards Cersei in front of him, and the scene effect was full.

Sandor, Jon, Davos and others have introduced the characteristics of ghouls in detail (where is the power of corpse?!) through methods such as slashing in the waist, cutting hands, burning them, and stabbing them to death with a dragonglass dagger.

Except for the people who had seen it with their own eyes, all the students who attended the class were shocked by this terrifying monster-except Keben, the first person in black technology.

Cobain continued to carry forward his "scientific invaluable" spirit, and showed a strong research interest in ghouls. After all, he transformed a half-ghoul ...

Facts speak louder than words, Jon proves that the threat to the north is real, that the battle of mankind is insignificant, only the "battle of life and death" matters.

Jon's remarks were irrefutable, and after the King's Landing side digested it a little, Euron made the first decision: run .

Anyway, if you said that this ghost can't swim, then I can rest easy when I hide in the Iron Islands. Before leaving, Euron gave Daenerys the same advice to return to Dragonstone.

Regardless of the facts revealed later, Euron's isolationist policy of being alone is quite "humane" .

After Daenerys took the lead in expressing a united front and joining forces to fight against ghosts, Cerseis also agreed to a truce, but she asked Jon to abide by the truce and remain neutral, otherwise nothing would be discussed.

To say that Cersei's request is reasonable, Jon only needs to nod... but the upright Jon declares that he has allegiance to Daenerys.

... Cersei and the others walked away, leaving everyone blaming Jon, Daenerys blaming him for being too straight, and Tyrion blaming him for not telling a small lie.

"I will never make unfulfilled promises, if you want, just say my father and tell me it was this stubbornness that killed him. But words are meaningless when so many promises are made lightly. , then there will be no more honest answers, only more tactful lies , and lies won’t help us in this war.”

Jon is right, it's just that in an environment where everyone learns to be black and full of lies, sincere people become outliers.

At the moment of leaving, James was ready to continue fighting the enemy - "Old Lover" Brienne gave him a step and asked him to persuade the queen.

It was also Brienne's motto of breaking through the self-pattern that made James let his "dangerous" little brother Tyrion go to see his sister again.

The regret that James and Tyrion's reunion ended hastily in the fourth episode is finally compensated in this episode. Both brothers are fools, especially James, who treats every time he sees his brother as the last one.

Sister and brother meet this play is very exciting, the acting skills are obvious to all, and the charm and connotation are all prepared.

Cersei attacked Tyrion's position and words and deeds vigorously from the beginning, and naturally changed the focus of the conflict from public affairs to private affairs, without any relief.

Well, since it doesn't make sense at all, and you still hate me so much, then just kill me with one sword! This is your best chance!

Of course Cersei thought, she'd dreamed of it for many days and nights, but she finally held back for more important plans.

After his sister was "deflated", Tyrion was obviously relieved - he had no certainty of surviving, but he was lucky to "win" , so he immediately poured a glass of wine to suppress his shock.

Then, Cersei expressed the meaning of "it doesn't matter, just consider the price" along the context just now, and then said that she should learn from Euron to protect herself. A few words and an action made Tyrion understand himself. Pregnant and made him believe that he still has "humanity" .

In the end, the two negotiated successfully—at least Tyrion believed in Cersei.

Afterwards, Cersei (queen), James (commander-in-chief), and Cobain (prime minister) returned to the venue, clearly promising everyone that the Iron Throne would also send troops to help out.

This is a statement on behalf of the official supreme power in Westeros , and Daenerys, Jon and others leave King's Landing with relief.

But when Jaime summoned the Lannister generals and asked them to assemble their troops north within three days, Cersei suddenly interrupted them, leaving Jaime to ask him: Are you bad or stupid?

Only then did Cersei show her true colors: I would never be in the company of Tyrion and Daenerys.

Faced with Cersei's decision to backtrack, Jaime flatly denied it, saying that the war between the living and the dead is the most important thing. More importantly, he made a promise.

Cersei successfully used the child in her womb to make two articles: to convince Tyrion that her peace was true, she succeeded; to make the child's father Jaime surrender again, she failed.

In fact, Cersei acquiesced to the Dragon's Den meeting because she knew that she was at a disadvantage, and she pretended to negotiate to delay time. She never thought of reconciliation. In her eyes, all threats to her rule were enemies, no matter what. The living or the dead.

To rule, as long as she rules, Cersei will do anything .

Jaime keeps giving reasons to persuade Cersei not to do stupid things , it's not righteous, no matter who wins in the north, we'll be finished, Daenerys has dragons, we don't have enough people... and these reasons are considered by Cersei as Overcoming the enemy's resistance , she saw the tricks and confessed that she had exchanged the gold of the High Court for the Golden Corps, pretending that the escaped Euron was going to Essos to pick them up.

Listening to Cersei's words, Jaime's expression became more and more ugly, the queen was conspiring with Euron behind the back of the commander-in-chief of the army, and the two brothers and sisters lost even the most basic trust.

The two officially broke down, James left, and Cersei was left alone.

Since you called my act of leading troops north as a "betrayal", and I intend to keep my oath, then am I going alone?

Taking off his golden red armor and cape, he left King's Landing alone, facing the snow and heading to the battlefield alone to fulfill the promise made by the "King Killer".

The back of James in this scene is far more stalwart than when he rushed to the dragon on the battlefield.

After successfully negotiating peace, it was time for the entire army to head north. Let the Dothraki travel by land and the Unsullied by sea can be agreed in a few words, the key is how Daenerys gets there.

Jorah suggested that the Dragon Queen should fly to Winterfell by air. After all, the "anti-dragon" sentiment of the people in the north is very high, and the leader is too exposed to be unsafe.

In fact, Big Bear's suggestion was also the idea of ​​most others, especially Tyrion - he wanted to say this, but since the Dragon Queen was not very willing to listen to him recently... So Jorah was helping him.

However, Jon suggested that Daenerys should act as the alliance "should be". Being too defensive would be ineffective. Taking a boat to the North together would be more trustworthy.

How Daenerys chooses we already know.

Before leaving, Theon took the initiative to talk to Jon - he was moved by Jon's honest words and deeds in King's Landing, and the other party set an example and practiced the principle of "fighting side by side with honesty."

There is no doubt that Theon is very envious of Jon, he always wants to do the right thing, but always does not know how to do it: "It seems that I have to make an impossible choice, be a wolf or a sea monster..."

Winterfell's "Proton" and "Bastard" grew up together, and their real status was not high, but they were both raised by Eddard Stark as sons. "Our dad was the best dad, even if you did something wrong, you didn't lose him, he was part of you, just like me."

Think about what you should do - for Theon, rescuing his sister Yara is what he has to do.

So what are you waiting for? Jon now not only forgave Theon, but gave him the encouragement to live his life firmly.

When he came to the beach, he stopped the Iron Seed who was planning to go to sea, and took the lead in despising his own men, and got the approval and obedience of the rest of the people.

Theon Greyjoy half-kneeled in the shoal with erratic steps, scooped up the seawater to wash off the blood on his face, and performed a (simplified version) drowning salute for himself again: "The dead do not die, they will surely die. It's going to be even stronger when it starts again."

Theon may never figure out what choice he should make - he is not a wolf, because he has the tenacity and courage of a sea monster, but he is not a sea monster, because he still has the sturdiness and integrity of a wolf... At least One thing's for sure, he's got Greyjoy's soul and Stark's bones, and he won't be a bug anymore.

On the boat all the way north, Jon knocked on Daenerys' door, and his aunt welcomed his nephew into the room.

The two have long been eyeing each other, openly showing their allegiance (showing love) in front of the world, and even turning them into dry wood and fire, dragon and wolf, dragon and dragon, ice and fire blending together ... Well, I admit that it is really like a cannonball .

The most intriguing thing is Tyrion, who is listening to the wall. He understands what happened. This is the result he is happy to see, but at this moment, he is watching secretly, but there is no joy on his face, but he is worried.

To say that Tyrion is also in love with Daenerys is very unlikely; to say that Tyrion thinks of his love as a shock, it is only a little; to say that Tyrion is worried that the Queen is going the other way , which I think is possible Being very sexual, Daenerys is now more willing to listen to Jon, who has become a fiery confidant with her, compared to the hard-core confidants under her command. This trust has already surpassed that of a monarch and a minister, and it is more like the intimacy between lovers...

Love can make people rational, and love can make people blind. Jon has now become Daenerys' "weak underbelly", which is not a good thing for the dragon queen, because Jon has also become one of the queens. weakness.

Winterfell

News of Jon's submission to Daenerys reaches Winterfell, and a distraught Sansa seeks out Baelish, her closest friend.

Littlefinger followed the words and proposed the idea that the "King of the North" could also be deposed.

After Sansa expresses her concerns about Arya, Baelish teaches her the little game of "understanding other people's motives", which is about "make the worst guess and believe it".

——My sister might want me to die. She came to kill me when she went home. Finding out the secret letter is to provide a reason for the murder. If she kills me, she will be the Lord of Winterfell...

Sounds reasonable, and Sansa can't help thinking.

After much deliberation, Sansa made a decision, summoning Bran, Maester Vulcan, and Arya successively, and at the same time having Winterfell and the warriors of Arryn Vale attend, and set up a court: "You are charged with murder. , treason, how do you respond to these accusations... Lord Baelish?"

Littlefinger, who had been waiting to see a good show, suddenly became the target of public criticism, and it was embarrassing now.

Sansa first shared the information she knew. The charges of murdering the guardian of the valley and causing the Battle of the Five Kings were actually enough to explain the problem, but Littlefinger still tried his best to quibble: "I deny! You are not there, I don't know what happened. What, you don't know the truth."

Bran provides "evidence" with his expertise.

When Arya pulled out the keeled dagger and exposed his lies again, Littlefinger knew that she couldn't revise her confession, and that the trial wasn't too much evidence.

So he immediately turned to playing the emotional card, remembering his relationship with Sansa, and saying that he had protected her.

Protect me and give me to Flay (Littlefinger's Lifetime Black Spot in the episode)? Sansa is learning and using, and the little game she teaches her with Littlefinger reveals the nature of each other.

Seeing that Sansa didn't give him a chance to defend himself, Littlefinger immediately turned around as the "Guardian of the Valley" and asked Yon Royce to send him back to the Eagle's Nest City, of course the other party would not agree.

In fact, Arryn wanted to kill Littlefinger more than Northland, not only because he had murdered Jon Arryn and Lysa Tully successively, but also because he was now in power with the favor of the weaker. There is no reason for worry to kill him, of course at this moment he is going to fall into trouble.

Littlefinger, who was isolated and helpless, was finally in despair at this moment. He could only kneel down and play the emotional card again with a desolate tone. This time, Baelish was telling the truth: I love your mother, and I love you.

But it was too late, Bran gave evidence, Sansa sentenced, Arya was executed, Lord Petyr Baelish had her throat slit and could no longer whisper in anyone's ear.

Littlefinger is suitable for the whispering King's Landing, the Eagle's Nest City, where he can only feel like a duck, and in the quiet and solid Winterfell, he seems so out of place.

The pitiful generation of the top player in the Game of Thrones ended up in such a tragic and desolate end in the play. In fact, stopping at Winterfell has already doomed him to failure, not to mention playing this kind of clumsy trick full of loopholes... How many here? Some of the meanings of "the screenwriter let you die in the third watch, how can we keep you in the fifth watch", even if we can understand that this ending is inevitable, we can't help but regret it, it's too casual...

Sam meets and talks with Bran after returning to Winterfell, which translates as this:

- I became a hacker.

--Oh! awesome! ...what does that mean?

——That is to say, I can watch the latest episode of "Game of Thrones" that others can't watch if I want. Oh yes, Jon and Daenerys are coming back soon.

- oh... did you see it through your hacking skills?

Bran held up the remote and said: I subscribed to HBO and just watched a new episode.

After the cross talk, Bran seriously said to Sam that he wanted to tell Jon the truth. He was the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and his aunt Lyanna Stark in Dorne, and his surname should be "Shad"—— Bran didn't believe it when Sam corrected it.

So, Sam told the truth of what he saw when he copied the book, and let Bran, who had opened his eyes, go back to see it clearly.

This oolong tells us a truth: it is not advisable to drag the progress bar to watch some pictures and scenes, and then run away to spoil others. It is not only immoral but also prone to mistakes. If you want to tell the story accurately, you should Careful and careful reading will not make any mistakes. Practical and diligent work can always yield unexpected rewards than opportunistic thinking.

This time, Bran saw the union of Rhaegar and Lyanna, who were married in the name of the Seven Gods under the auspices of the Archbishop.

This time, Bran heard Lyanna's real name, Aegon Targaryen , as he entrusted Eddard with her son .

So, Jon is not only not an illegitimate child, but also the heir to the Iron Throne.

The situation was tentatively settled. Sansa and Arya stood at the head of Winterfell and looked at the vast snow field outside the city. They said some heart-warming words of mutual understanding, and some wisecracks of mutual disgust... and what their father taught Their words made the sisters even more sad and strong: in winter, we must defend each other and take care of each other, when the snow falls and the cold wind blows, the lone wolf dies, and the pack wolves live.

Sansa, Arya, Bran, they are the only Starks left; Jon and Theon, they are also the wolves of Winterfell; all the warriors who gather in the north, they are part of the wolf pack .

Winter is approaching, and in the warm and warm summer, the wolf family blew out a wisp of cold air to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Winter has come, and in the dark and difficult winter, everyone must muster the courage to unite.

East Seaview

Unity because the enemy is close at hand.

On the top of Donghaiwang 's wall, the patrolling Tormund and Berry looked at the ghost forest not far away, and saw a scene that had not appeared in thousands of years.

One horn for the return of the brothers of the Night's Watch; two for the wildlings; three for the White Walkers—

With the mournful sound of the third horn, the White Walkers led the army of ghouls to the foot of the Great Wall.

The legion of the dead is obviously not here to visit the city, they must have something to rely on - the Night King is riding a corpse dragon!

We meet Tormund, who is stationed at Eastwatch, shouting the only command so far: "Run!"

This is a battle of great disparity, or can only be called a one-sided ravage and trampling, because the defending side is simply powerless to fight back.

The Night King sat in a Viserion brand "rocking car" (brain supplement "What's Dad's dad? Dad's dad is called Grandpa. What's Dad's mom called? Dad's mom is called Grandma..."), declaring his invincible state .

More than 8,000 years ago, "The Builder" Brandon Stark built the Great Wall of Despair with the power of giants, and it was given ancient spells and magic by the children of the forest to block the crossing of the ghosts.

Today, the Great Wall is broken with corpse dragons, and magic is broken with magic. Under the burning of blue flames, the city wall in the East Sea View section collapsed.

Before absolute power, the defenses of the Night's Watch and the Freedmen were so fragile.

As the ice and fire version of "The Wrath of the Lich King" was staged, the endless army of the dead broke through the Great Wall of Despair and headed south all the way to the north. The end of mankind is coming.

——I have surrendered to the enemy long ago. If Lord Night King does not abandon him, he will be a ghoul. The idiots and haters in Westeros have hurt my heart. Please grant them the punishment of the cold god!
