"Game of Thrones" S7E6: Inside and outside the Great Wall, only Yu Mangmang

Berniece 2022-03-28 09:01:07

This should be the time when the discussion atmosphere is the strongest, but it has become a bit "bleak" because of the "leaked version" last week, but a good discussion is never out of date.

There are too many places to be complained about in the sixth episode. Winterfell subverts internal friction, Dragonstone Island conflicts and disputes, Gendry endurance long-distance running, ghouls besiege the city strangely, Daenerys sends dragons from a thousand miles, Jon is the queen of death, Ben Sacrificing hastily... It can't be said that it's all bugs, in fact, every point can be reasonably explained - but the problem is, so many sloppy and hasty impressions left on the audience, even true fans will frown, this is not You can make up for it with an explanation.

This article does not intend to specifically nitpick or whitewash, let’s focus on what can be said. The episode is called "Beyond the Wall", "wall" can not only refer to the Great Wall, but also the heart wall between people, so it can be used in any scene . I thought of Taizu's verse "Looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, there is nothing but mang mang". Although the meaning has changed, no matter whether it can break through or not break through the "wall", only the white piece inside and outside is the best. real existence.

[For the clues of this article, please refer to the "Game of Thrones" S7E6 clues I wrote last week: The Wolf Sisters' Enmity Records Night King Necromancer , this article will not insert the previous picture. 】

Beyond the Wall 1.0

Last time I said that the formation of "Ghostbusters" was too hasty. This episode was made up at the beginning of the episode. In fact, it can be regarded as "Donghaiwang 2.0".

First of all, it must be stated that there were thirteen people in this march outside the Great Wall instead of seven. Among the remaining six people were the Night's Watch, the Freedmen, and members of the Brotherhood without Banners. After that, three died in the "corpse bear" attack in the snowstorm. Died in a fugitive siege on a frozen lake.

Although we only know the names of 7 people, we can't forget the sacrifices of those 6 people - history is indeed signed by famous people, but history is written by them and more anonymous people.

The seven people started to communicate with each other before and after, and they managed to sort out their grievances and entanglements, removing obstacles for everyone to work together in the future.

The beginning of Jon's greeting to Gendry is relatively bland, and the chewy dialogue starts with Tormund and Jon, who talk about Mance Redder's "pride".

Once upon a time, Mance's refusal to kneel was the cornerstone of his respect and approval of the freedmen, and he eventually died because of it; now Jon is in a similar predicament, and Tormund's words reflect the change in his perception.

There is only a thin line between pride and arrogance. There must be something more important. Tormund's words also affected Jon's choice at the end of this episode.

In contrast, Gendry's "anger" is much easier to understand. He is complaining about Berry and Soros. Sandor ends the topic with one sentence: Don't babble.

Are you cool? Are you not dead? Then complain about a fart, just shut up!

The communication between Jon and Jorah is to fill up and untangle a "pimple" between them, and it is also a unity of remembrance and understanding of "Old Bear".

His own son brought shame to the family. Old Xiong was very angry, but he forgave his son before he died; Jon is the star of hope for the Night's Watch, and Old Xiong has high hopes, and also gave Longpaw and the "Letter of Introduction from the Commander-in-Chief" were passed on to him.

Jon didn't give it back, Jorah was reluctant to say goodbye, and the knot between the two of them will always be there - and now, aside from their relationship with Daenerys, they're entangled.

The dialogue between Tormund and Sandor is the most interesting, I found that the more rude and rude in the show, the more the truth can be told , for example, Tormund said the Hound " you have sad eyes ", It is simply a generation of insightful chicken soup masters...

And when he heard Tormund dreaming of swarming with Brienne's children and conquering the world, Sandor was also full of black lines, you really are a lunatic.

As two warriors who have been resurrected by the "Lord of Light", Berry and Jon have a special language in common. For example, they don't understand what God wants them to do... But King Flash has died 6 times after all, and his mentality is better than that of Joan. There is a lot of grace: understanding God is not our goal.

"The enemy is always invincible, but we still need to fight against it." In the end, the two reached a consensus, as long as they know how to fight.

If you stop and think, you won't get the answer. If you don't turn your back in the face of the future, the answer will naturally appear in front of you.

The 13-man team went deep beyond the Great Wall and encountered a blizzard, then was attacked by a corpse bear, and the Pathfinder Scout, who had been ahead of the others, was the first to die (12 remaining).

Since both the corpse bear and Soros were carrying fire, the hound who had the best chance to come and rescue them was frightened and stopped , and the crisis was solved only by Jorah Longjing stabbing the dead corpse bear.

The corpse bear is obviously more difficult to deal with than the ghoul, and there are more than one... In this encounter, another person was bitten to death, another was dragged away, and Soros was seriously injured (10 people left).

Afterwards, the two old comrades who had been the first to attack Park City also began to reminisce.

In the eyes of the big bear, Soros is the most courageous warrior, but the red robe jokingly said: It's just the most drunken alcoholic.

Soon after, the ghost hunters found a patrol and set up traps. After Jon killed the lead White Walker, all but one of the ghouls disintegrated.

It can be seen from this that destroying a White Walker can destroy the ghoul pulled up by it, which is quite a decapitation win.

The only remaining ghoul was not easy to deal with. It bit through the hound's glove and continued to scream, attracting the army. Seeing the wind and snow hit, Jon hurriedly signaled everyone to hurry up and run away, and at the same time let Gendry run back to Donghaiwang and ask Daenerys for help (9 people left).

The team of 9 people + 1 ghoul ran to the top of the ice lake and hesitated for a while, and was forced to run on the reef in the center of the lake by the army of ghouls behind. At this time, one person fell and ran slowly. The ghouls were dragged and fell into the lake (8 people left). Because too many ghouls smashed the lake ice, a perfect island was formed, which delayed the time for the team.

Afterwards, Gendry lived up to the expectations and ran back to Donghaiwang, was picked up by Davos, and successfully reported the letter.

Winterfell

The role of the two Stark sisters is the most disturbing one to watch, because this "reverse" is only a "theoretical possibility", whether it is played or real, it is not very clever...

The first second, the two were still enjoying the scenery of Winterfell in the falling snow, but the next second, the style of the painting changed. Arya took advantage of the reason of remembering Ed, and suddenly attacked Sansa: You are also an accomplice in the death of your father.

After reading Sansa's dark history, the two sisters naturally quarreled. Sansa defended that she was an ignorant child at the time, and she couldn't help herself, but Arya claimed that the witnesses (seen with her own eyes) and the physical evidence (Sansa's own letter) were all there, you couldn't deny it, and you took the public secrets. The letter threatens Sansa.

"You're angry, and sometimes anger makes people do stupid things."

"Sometimes fear makes people do stupid things, and I choose anger."

Although Sansa still had doubts about Arya's "ability", she was really scared - but from another angle, the two sisters have actually grown up a lot. If this happens to Arya in the first season , had already indiscriminately attacked and beaten and scolded her sister, and Sansa at that time would not have the patience to explain to her sister at all, and she knew the righteousness - but it was different from the first season, when they could only Playing and pranking, and now it's going to be fatal.

After the incident, the flustered Sansa turned to Littlefinger for help. She was worried that others would abandon Winterfell after knowing her dark history.

You must know that Jon, the nominal king of the north, is basically inactive, and Bran does not have any appeal or cohesion. If Arya makes such a fuss with herself, and further loses the authority of the Stark family, it will be the heart of the people. The unstable coalition of 20,000 will surely fall apart.

In general, Sansa is still very considerate of the overall situation, and Baelish has come up with a "good idea" at this time: help Brienne, she has sworn to protect you.

Although Sansa kept saying yes, she felt even more troubled in her heart: Now it is the death between the two daughters Brienne wants to protect, who will she help?

Therefore, when Sansa received the invitation letter from King's Landing to "meet", she immediately thought of letting Brienne go to King's Landing instead of herself.

By the way, now Sansa has learned to be smart, and has developed the habit of "burning after reading" letters.

One by one, "I won't go to King's Landing when Cersei is here", or "Jaime will treat you with courtesy", and "There are people here to protect me", just send Brienne away, who is worried about her safety.

Sansa's move may be stupid, and Littlefinger has less of an eye-catching obstacle; maybe it's clever, and she and Arya have less of a potential spoiler.

Afterwards, Sansa went to Arya's room to search for the secret letter, and found the face that her sister had collected... How could the eldest miss escape the eyes of the professionals by doing such a stealthy thing, Arya appeared at the door of the room , and also play the "liar game" with my sister . If you cheat, you will win, and if you expose it, you will lose.

But Sansa forcibly changed from being the questioner to the questioner--OK, let's talk about it.

In the past, you fantasized about being the queen by your side, and I fantasized about being a knight who killed enemies on the battlefield. It seems that this world does not allow girls to decide who they want to be... But now, I can be anyone I want to be, just need one Zhang skin.

How do you explain this "true lie"? After speaking, Arya handed the dagger to Sansa, confident that she would not lose.

As everyone knows, the dreams and reality of the two sisters have changed, Arya has become an assassin, and Sansa will eventually become the queen.

In addition, I once again slandered Baelish's "conspiracy". Chaos is indeed a ladder for Littlefinger to climb, but before he knew who was supporting below, who was supporting above, and how stable the ladder was... But now, He did not grasp the truth of this ladder at all, not to mention that it was prone to earthquakes.

Ever since Varys and Varys agreed to guide the Dragon Queen "on the way to the king", Tyrion's words to Daenerys have hidden secrets everywhere, and it is not easy to be careful and careful .

Let’s start with the most harmless and deadly “emotional problem”, teasing and implying that Jon is in love with Daenerys (the king of the north is also your servant), but the dragon mother who was poking at the thought casually said The sentence "He is too short" panicked and avoided.

——Really, Drogo, Jorah, Daario, which one is not a tall and strong man, Jon's small body does look weaker, but Tyrion himself was also severely hit...

Next, Tyrion explained that in the future King's Landing meeting, "the heart of preventing others must not be absent", and there must be "the heart of harming others", and Daenerys is not convinced: From my actual experience, the evil people will win. .

It is not difficult to find that Daenerys is becoming more and more difficult to accept the ruling philosophy of her prime minister, and the pretended "kingdom" is obviously not as good as killing the "overbearing".

The two did not reach a consensus on the treatment of Tully and his son, and Tyrion euphemistically suggested that the queen was short-tempered, which was not conducive to rule.

Immediately after that, I drew a blueprint for Her Lady Queen (a pie), you said yourself that you would be the one who "breaks the wheel", so don't break your promise.

Randomly and without any trace of hints that the queen should appoint an heir - this time, Daenerys finally found Tyrion's careful thinking, even if he was right, he couldn't suppress her anger .

What do you mean? Implying that I am going to die or wishing me to die?

Therefore, when Tyrion once again strongly advised Daenerys not to take risks when receiving the letter of help from Donghaiwang, the Dragon Mother must talk to him even if it is just out of anger with Tyrion. It's the right scene - not to mention, she really wants to save Jon.

Tyrion was right, "Sometimes doing nothing is the hardest."

But Daenerys has the same mentality as Jon at this time: fuck his sanity! You only have one life, you will regret it no matter what you do or not, it is better to act according to your own heart and be happy.

Beyond the Wall 2.0

The team of only 8 people continued to be trapped on the isolated island of the Ice Lake. The hound, the first person to "draw monsters", woke up and kicked the restless ghoul next to him, successfully causing the surrounding ghouls to be restless.

Then, they sadly found that the seriously injured Soros had frozen to death (7 people left).

The real environment does not allow the remaining people to be too sad. After the hastily dealt with the funeral, Soros was cremated. I hope he can go to the King of Light as he wishes...

Procrastinating for a long time is not an option. Jorah and Berry have successively put forward the idea of ​​"catching the thief and capturing the king", and the target is naturally the Night King who looks like a boss on the mountain.

However, others don't know the power of the Night King, but Jon knows it, and they are now surrounded by ghouls, and it's easier said than done if they want to carry out the "beheading operation".

Next, everyone had to continue to wait for rescue - the unwilling hound began to attract blame again.

The first small stone smashed the jaw of a cute little ghoul, and the second large stone was thrown in front of it, successfully proving that the lake was strong enough.

The Hound full of hatred successfully made the little ghoul take the first step, and then other ghouls also began to attack, and the final self-defense battle began.

Unfortunately, the difference between the numbers was too great. After a while, everyone began to shrink the defense line, and another person died (6 people left). Tormund was accidentally trapped during the retreat. This time, the Hound no longer hesitated and decisively shot, and Jorah rescued him. .

The defensive circle kept shrinking, and before he knew it, he retreated to the last position on the reef. The last dragon man unfortunately fell into the group of corpses and was divided (5 people left).

The only five remaining fighting back to back, they are in a desperate situation, and they will be exhausted and killed in a short while, unless a miracle happens.

In the nick of time, a miracle came.

Daenerys came to the rescue with three dragons, giant flamethrowers walking in the sky, burning the ghouls to pieces one after another.

After successfully clearing the large group of ghouls trapped around the 5-man team, Rhaegal and Viserion continued to burn in the air, clearing the line to cover everyone, while Daenerys asked Drogon to stop on the reef to pick up the team. .

All the emotions are already written on the face. Of the rest, Daenerys wanted to save Jon the most. He could have been the first to ascend to the dragon - but he carried forward his usual fearlessness and chose the queen resolutely.

There's nothing wrong with it here, Jon is indeed such a person.

But the longer the delay, the better the Night King's chances of winning. He took the magic javelin, turned the fire and walked to the projection platform . And blood, in the final "blood and fire of the same source" fall to die.

I think Bronn also shot Drogon with the "Poison Scorpion" crossbow, but it didn't seem to hurt much. This time, the Night King stabbed Viserion to death with his bare hands...

The reason is mainly because the ballista shot by Bronn is only a simple physical attack of human beings, while the ice spear of the Night King is obviously a magical attack, and Viserion is already weaker than Drogon, so death is also worthless. Not surprisingly.

Daenerys only saw Jon at first, now only children killed in battle—and Jorah only sees Daenerys.

A bitter man... The eyes of these two people on the battlefield are completely different, and it can be said that there is a dark color that is not very obvious.

The point is here, Jon sees this behind the scenes, and the old problem is committed again: recklessly slashing and killing ghouls and rushing forward, with a single person's courage, once again confronts the Night King face to face.

When the Night King had the second javelin in his hand, Jon became anxious, turned around and ran towards Daenerys and the others, urging them to leave quickly... (if you hadn't already left)...

Then Jon was thrown into the water by the ghoul, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead. If he delayed, the group would be destroyed. At this time, Lei Ge had already left the scene. The biggest target was Drogon, and Daenerys had no choice but to leave. The Night King withdraws.

After that, Jon crawled out of the water, but the "popularity" he exhaled once again attracted the remaining ghouls that didn't go clean. This time, Jon, who should have been completely isolated and helpless, unexpectedly ushered in Uncle Bunyan's rescue.

It's a pity that the "uncle and nephew" who are deeply affectionate and righteous, from meeting to recognizing and then to parting, is too urgent and too scribbled, even if the situation is urgent, even if we know that this is destined fate... But Bunyan is so The act of letting Jon run away from his own palace still makes people feel that the sadness is over before there is time.

East Seaview

5 people, 1 dead body and 2 dragons returned to Donghaiwang safely.

Sandor brought the ghoul to King's Landing, while Tormund and Berry, who had a life-and-death relationship with him, stayed in East Seaview, while Rhaegal and Drogon lingered over the city, waiting for their brother who could not come back. Daenerys and Jorah also looked at the Ghost Forest, waiting for the man in a silly way.

To be precise, Daenerys was waiting, Jorah was just accompanying her... Just as the Dragon Mother was about to give up hopeless hope, Jon returned.

Come, come, how can a cold and damp place like Donghaiwang be suitable for people to recuperate? Quickly bring Lord Snow to this king's warm and dry boat! So, when Davos and others rushed to help Jon undress and keep warm, Daenerys successfully saw the scar on Jon's body - it was true that he was stabbed in the heart .

After that, Jon sailed south on the Targaryens' boat, with Daenerys always by his side...

When Jon wakes up, the first thing he sees is Daenerys he loves, and the first sentence is an apology - " I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I wish I could do it all over again... "Look This line, if you don't know the story of Game of Thrones, will definitely be regarded as a line reader for a romance drama, right?

Jon apologizes and regrets because of his recklessness and impulsiveness, which indirectly killed Viserion. Although Daenerys came to save people voluntarily, according to Jon's temper, he must feel that he owes her a day. A big favor, and since he met, he owes a lot to this respectable queen.

On the other hand, Daenerys reassured Jon not to mind, this time she really believed his words, " We're going to destroy the real enemy ."

Under the dialogue of mutual understanding, the relationship between the two quickly heated up, and the whole room was full of ambiguous taste. Jon couldn't help calling each other "Dani".

Danny? The little deer in the dragon mother's heart was rambling, and she also showed a shy and feigned expression of anger. I didn't expect that Jon, the "incomprehensible" guy, came to the real thing, and called him "Her Majesty" again.

This is a clear sign of loyalty, and even Daenerys said in surprise, "You disregard the opinions of your vassals?" Jon continued to practice his own way, and bluntly said "one day they will understand who you are"... ... Jon's move has moral considerations, but at this time, it is more affected by personal emotional fluctuations.

In short, after the two exchanged heartfelt feelings, their emotions have reached the critical point of eruption, and they are holding hands!

——But when Jon clenched his jade hand and looked at the cute boy in front of him with affectionate eyes, Daenerys suddenly flinched...

There can be many interpretations here. Rationally, Daenerys realized the difference in identities between the two, and it was not good for her to progress too fast; emotionally, she suddenly found that what was happening right now happened to be brought up by Tilly. Ang got it right. Out of anger, she also subconsciously didn't want to be told by Tyrion...

But it's all over, is "aunt and nephew play" really far away?

Beyond the Wall 3.0

Back to the battlefield in this episode.

Hateful slave owner, thousand-year-old popsicle, the real king beyond the wall, undead master, white ghost maker, anti-hidden radar, fire fighter, Westeros javelin champion Lord Night King, leading the ghosts, commanding the ice The ghoul trackers on the lake pulled Viserion's body out.

Don't be too entangled, since it was shown that ghouls can still move when they enter the water, let's assume they can dive...

I have already introduced many abilities of the Night King last time. The most powerful one is undoubtedly the ability to carry ghouls in groups, but what if the target is a giant magical creature?

At this time, Viserion was already dead, and the natural freezer under the ice lake also successfully refrigerated his body for freshness. The Night King put his hand on its head... "Corpse Dragon + Ice Dragon" Viserion opened blue eyes.

As I said before, the White Walker ghouls are not walking slowly, but because of the magic attached to the Great Wall, even if they walk under the wall, they will not be able to pass... Thousands of years have passed, and even the Night's Watch has forgotten that the Great Wall is used for defense. White Walkers, not wildlings, people naturally don't remember the real function of the Great Wall

But now, relying on human mistakes, the Night King finally has a new mount and a great weapon to destroy the Great Wall.
