This is the worst episode and the most ranted episode of Season 7 so far. I have always advocated watching dramas earnestly and complaining mildly. This time, a mouthful of old blood was about to come out. I felt that the divine drama in my mind was abruptly pulled down from the altar and turned into a familiar Hollywood blockbuster. The magical epic feeling of the year was washed away.
1. Dragonstone Island————The hand of the queen whose IQ fell off a cliff.
The first thing to complain about is the Queen's Hand Leon, who cheated on the Dragon Queen for almost a season, and came up with a bad idea for a season, forcibly playing a good hand to a pulp. After a series of strategic and tactical mistakes, the Dragon Queen lost two allies of Hightingdorne, and to this day, I still don't want to believe that the idea of catching a ghoul to show Cersei came from him.
Since the last time the Dragon Queen burned the Randotaly father and son to death, Tyrion has been very careful when talking to the Queen. So, drinking wine, starting with the most harmless topic of love, he talked about the upcoming talks between various parties. Cersei, talked about the way of running a country, and then changed the style of painting, and talked about the issue of inheritance and no successor to the Dragon Queen. Really, which pot can't be opened and lifted, although Dany has really lost her fertility, is it really good to be straightforward? Although as the Prime Minister, Tyrion must be thoughtful, it is obvious that the Dragon Queen is very disgusted and unreasonable for Tyrion's seemingly lofty but inappropriate suggestions, just like a girl in a rebellious period treats her mother. Be patient; even sometimes knowing that what the other person is saying makes sense.
Dany believes more in strength and power, and believes that it is more powerful to conquer people like Cersei who are good at conspiracy in the Seven Kingdoms, or conquer with fear like the ancestor Aegon. After all, Targaryen has maintained a strong rule with an iron fist since Aegon conquered the Seven Kingdoms. The queen said to Tyrion, don't worry about the succession after winning the Iron Throne (this may be that the screenwriter is burying clues for Jon Snow's life experience, after all, if Snow's life experience is announced to the public, it will be the first in line for the Iron Throne The heir, has a higher priority than Dany. So, it seems that the Dragon Queen wants to hang up in the future? Let me lay a foreshadowing?) In short, Tyrion can also see that Dany and Jon have a good impression of each other. (I don’t like the CP of such aunts and Guo’er, but the official candy, I have to recognize it even if I don’t want to)
2. Winterfell of the Sisterhood
Back to Winterfell here. Many netizens said that the character design of Arya has collapsed in this episode, and they all said that the giant blade sent to the screenwriter is already on the way. In this episode, Erya, who has a clear love and hate in people's minds, has become a god-like babbler who collapses all day long. The unreasonable sister who opened her face and killed her own sister if she didn't agree with her, did not see Sansa's eyes turning red? Isn't it just a returnee who came back from a foreign country for further study, his temper has risen so much?
In fact, I think this is one of the few highlights of this episode. There are too many slots in other parts, but the dialogue between Sansa and Arya is full of tension in this episode, and the screenwriter handles it well.
First of all, Arya has a deep affection for Jon emotionally, and she doesn't want to see other lords want to embrace Sansa when Jon leaves. As for her sister Sansa, Arya thinks that since she was a child, she loves vanity, likes to be high, and has a strong sense of superiority. She is not friendly to Jon, so when she sees that Sansa is only trying to stabilize the actions of the lord of the north and the generals of the Arryn Valley , Arya is very dissatisfied. As the Faceless, Arya prefers a direct, neat, powerful and effective way of dealing with it, and dislikes Sansa's so-called checks and balances.
She pressed on, even threatening Sansa to make the letter public.
On Sansa's side, it was very difficult. In this episode, I think Sansa's acting is very good. It shows a young girl's vanity, hesitation, fear, self-compassion and thoughtful choices and growth. The performance is very layered.
As Sansa said, Jon lost the battle of the bastards. Except for the Bear family and a very small number of North lords who supported Jon, the North has experienced the Rebellion of the Five Kings, the tough hands of Bolton and Little Flay, and The battle of bastards, after this round, the vitality of the North has already been greatly damaged, and those who can preserve their strength are all sloppy, and there is no loyalty at all.
For the fight against the White Walkers and the Dragon Queen Alliance, even the little loli of the Xiong family can't understand, let alone other people. Winterfell had 20,000 troops, including the army in Arryn Valley, and everyone wanted to find an excuse to go home early. Although Sansa doesn't agree with Jon's ideas and practices, Sansa has been working hard to do what a Winterfell lord should do, trying her best to appease and stabilize these 20,000 people, no matter whether the enemy is in the south or the north , she couldn't let Jon come back when there was no army left. So she stabilized these lords as much as possible, prepared as much as possible, and trained troops to train these internal affairs until Jon came back. By this time Jon had been out of touch for several weeks.
And Sansa's heart is also helpless. Although her younger brothers and sisters are back, she doesn't even know her anymore. One said that he was no longer Bran, but a three-eyed crow. Every day, he sat under the heart tree and rolled his eyes to open his vision of green.
And the other sister, Elijah, who is highly skilled in martial arts and cunning, hides in the dark all day to observe her, speculate on her, and always suspect that she has evil intentions. Now I have found the letter written by her back then. She explained it to Arya with great patience, but her sister didn't buy it. Sansa was scared and panicked at this time. If she said "I was just a child back then", even her sister would not be able to accept it, let alone pass the level of the nobles in the north, and she had married Lan twice. The Nest and Bolton families are both enemies of the North and Stark. When these two things are related, other nobles have more reasons and excuses to have civil strife. When they are separated, the North will be divided again and plunged into chaos.
Sansa wanted to sneak into Arya's room to find the letter, how could she hide it from Arya, but at this time Sansa found the human skin mask again, and was completely frightened, and said incoherently, "I have hundreds of people. guard". After all, the human-skin mask is really too sinister, and Sansa's legs are not frightened and standing still is very powerful. Arya says: Really? But where are they? " Arya begins to torture Sansa with her unhurried killer tone.
I am afraid that Sansa will collapse at this time. The younger brother is a god, and the younger sister has become such a terrifying killer. She also has so many terrifying human skin masks. The children of the Stark family have experienced unimaginable pain before transforming. became what it is today.
Arya finally reversed the dagger and gave it to Sansa. Erya clearly expresses two meanings here. One is to put strong pressure on her sister, let her reflect on her own mentality and motivation, and don't have any bad intentions. The second is to express that she has the ability to kill anyone at any time, and pretend to be that person without being discovered, but she will not hurt her sister, just hope that her sister will not move her mind to be the queen of the north, the king of the north is Jon's.
Why did Sansa have to take Brienne away, even at the risk of saying harsh words, to let Brienne go to King's Landing? Because Bran had reminded Sansa last time, and deliberately mentioned the wedding night when Sansa married Little Flay. What Bran means is to wake up my sister: don't forget, the last time you entrusted your whole heart and even your life to Littlefinger, what happened to you? ! And Littlefinger is a master at manipulating people's hearts. Sometimes his inadvertent words will arouse Sansa's fear and anxiety, and make Sansa trust and rely on herself again.
But with Bran's reminder, Sansa is full of vigilance against Littlefinger, and even the beauty knows that Littlefinger is uneasy and kind, not to mention Sansa. Of course Sansa didn't want to see Cersei. First, there were too many painful memories, and she couldn't stand Cersei's arrogant sarcasm and sarcasm when they met again. Second, Sansa always had the greatest alertness to Cersei's conspiracy. I don't want to believe that there is any sincerity in this meeting. There must be another conspiracy. The third is that Sansa really can't leave the North, she has to ensure the stability of the North, wait for Jon to come back, and can't let Littlefinger have an opportunity to tear the North apart. Fourth, since Littlefinger has mentioned to Sansa the importance of Britney to the two sisters several times, if you want to provoke the relationship between the two sisters, Britney will be very dangerous in Winterfell, which means that Littlefinger has moved to Britney. kill heart.
Beauty went to King's Landing on behalf of Sansa to attend the meeting, just as a bystander to see the development of the situation, and Jon will also participate in the meeting. Invisibly, Jon also has more protection power, and Beauty herself is very good at swordsmanship. , and James is present, the beauty will not be in danger (it means that Sansa and the beauty are also best friends, and they can talk about everything)
Donghaiwang: Longma sends a dragon for thousands of miles, Gendry ice and snow marathon
The camera returns to Donghaiwang, the ghost hunt team, and enters the climax of this episode. It is also the place where the audience complains the most and sends blades as dense as snowflakes. The general rant is as follows:
1. What did my little dragon do wrong? When you fall in love, you act handsome, and if you want to show off, you have to kill the dragon?
2. Seeing the White Walkers Gendry from the lake ran an ice and snow marathon to Donghaiwang to deliver the letter, Donghaiwang then sent the raven to fly to Dragonstone Island, Dany rode three dragons from Dragonstone Island, just in time to save Snow Wait, the whole process only took one day and one night.
Gendry runs faster than a car, the raven spreads faster than WeChat, and the three dragons are faster than the Boeing plane, and they also have their own precise positioning. (Why does Mr. Martin take two or three years to write a book? Because every time the characters in the play travel, Mr. Martin will personally measure and write the plot according to the marching speed and time at that time, so the details of the original Ice and Fire are very elegant, It's true. Of course, it's normal for the plot to be exciting and good-looking, and it's normal to speed up the progress. We'll just have fun and turn a blind eye.)
3. The Night King is so fierce, in the face of the big dragon Drogon and a group of protagonists on the ground, you don't kill, but you have to kill Viserion who is breathing fire in the sky. Night King, you are actually keeping back moves, deliberately Don't kill this group of people, right? Snow, Dany, Hound, Bear, Tormund, hurry up, hurry up, come and thank the Night King for not killing you and leaving you to escape.
4. Jon, Jon, you really don't understand anything. Your aunt is riding three dragons to save you. What are you talking about? Those White Walkers, Drogon, blew them out with a puff of fire, and you were so desperate to kill the dragon yourself that you dragged the time down. woohoo............
5. Shouldn't my wise night king raise his hands, the dragon leap out of the ice lake and open his blue eyes? Why do you need such a long iron chain? And aren't ghouls afraid of water? Who put the iron chain on the dragon under the ice lake?
6. When can a horse ride only one person? My Uncle Yang would hang up within a few seconds of his appearance?
Finally, look at the formation, standing, and position of handing the javelin of the Night King's squad. The left hand holds the javelin, and the right hand holds the javelin. All of them have done the action of handing the weapon to the Night King like water, neat and tidy. Uniform, do not accept. Comparing the loose formation of our Ghostbusters team, there is no harm without comparison.
It seems that the Night King not only possesses magic, but also has a terribly high IQ. Did he figure out that three dragons would come to the rescue, so they stayed still around Jon and took the opportunity to harvest a dragon to use as a new mount? Also, since the Night King wants to unify the Seven Kingdoms, he must change to a more fashionable mount. Is it true that the Night King, like Bran, can have a green vision and the ability to predict the future? ? It's getting more complicated and more interesting, and we'll have to wait and see for the next episode.
In my mind, the best actor in this episode: Viserion, the best supporting actor: Drogon, Rego.
Although he knew it was a special effect, the moment Viserion splattered with dragon blood and sprayed flames and fell into the ice lake was really heartbreaking. And Drogon and Rego's screams, although they didn't understand the language of dragons, still made people feel the pain and grief of losing their siblings, and Rego flew alone in circle after circle over the Great Wall and refused to leave. Tribute to its dead brother.
PS: In view of the fact that the current screenwriter's focus is on the war between the White Walkers and Humans, and the original seven top three strategists, Littlefinger, Varys, and Tyrion's IQs have been seriously lowered, I almost want to support Yee The king united the seven kingdoms and burst into tears. By the way, where did Bran go in this episode? Grey Worm has also disappeared for three episodes, and there should be an explanation in the next episode.
In the next article, I am going to take a deep dive into the story of the King of Light and the Night King, because in a press conference, Mr. Martin said that the Flash King has been resurrected six times, and he is actually no longer a real person, but a fire corpse. ghost. I can't help but think, do Ice and Fire actually refer to the Night King and the Lord of Light? Currently digging in depth, so stay tuned.
