Dear colleagues of the Seven Kingdoms!
Do not know how long I longed to see the EP 05 of the current season, an incredible and unpredictable outcome occurred in many aspects, therefore, I wanted to argue in a Steemit post, in this way, to share it with you and know your opinions about.
I must say very cautiously SPOILER ALERT, if you have not seen the last episode, or if you are not up to date with the series, then do not read the review, because it will be loaded with many important and speculative details. I will make an explanation of the penultimate episode, supporting myself under a critical, dramatic and literary interpretation, touching fundamental points of it, I hope it is to your liking.
EP 05 - Season 8
1. The death of Varys:
Please, do not tell me you did not anticipate it; since the previous chapter Game Of Thrones is sending us too many reasons why I was going to die. No doubt a character with enough influence, wisdom and actions, better known as "the master of whispers", who opted for a better bidder (Jon Snow), at a time not appropriate, accused of treason.
His death has impacted the hearts of fans, not only was a counselor, but an experienced character who knew the seven kingdoms and defended in his interpretation the will of the people. He was the first to convince himself of the change in personality that Daenerys would choose, and certainly, he was not wrong, beating Tyrion in approximations.
I must say, that Varys the Spider, as a good master of the influence on Westeros, perhaps we have not seen his last letter ...
2. The Mad Queen: The change of Daenerys
This part has affected many, some had anticipated in previous episodes with certain behaviors of the character, however, other followers of the series corroborate the personality since the beginning of the series, to be known as "a radical woman, which, does not care what you should or should not do to reach your goal", in this case, the iron throne and a certain portion of revenge against the Lannister.
After losing another of his dragons, part of his army and his impossible love Jorah Mormont, Daenerys revealed a sample of his true personality, with the right to be nicknamed, daughter of his father, rather, daughter of the mad king.
3. The death of Cersei and Jaime Lannister
We can say that it was based on Shakespearean irony, obviously the creator of the novel is a literary connoisseur, we can appreciate how they die with the love they always swore, it was romantic, it was poetic, and it certainly was not the end we all wanted for Cersei or lovers of the redeemed Jaime, but the series should not be based on fanaticism.
It is true that we wanted a pretty epic ending for the villain with the best reputation, surpassing in expectations the Dark King, however, the closure that was granted was not bad. "It was poetic, romantic and melancholic", nothing that people thought with minute theories that involved Jaime killing Cersei, or Arya killing Cersei. On the contrary, the end of these characters demonstrated what always resonated their relationship, a love that existed for them only, and that would not disappear.
4. Redemption of Jaime Lannister
The same character that we talked about in the previous point, is represented as an anti-hero, always was; we understand that he had a word and honor after all, but, it was not like many people think a "good man", because there is no complete meaning of what it means to be "good" in this series, let's say he exclusively did what he considered correct .
He never fell deeply in love with Brienne, he only felt kindness and love, but not love.
4. The confrontation of Sandor Clegane against Gregor Clegane (The Dog against the Mountain)
It has perhaps been the part most appreciated by the followers, and of course I agree. In my opinion they made an incredible sample of how revenge consumes you suddenly, to a point where you do not mind dying to achieve the task.
In the confrontation, little interested them if Cersei escaped or if Daenerys burned them, their time was them, the rest had no relevance. A mercenary against a half-immortal zombie soldier (What madness is not?) Is a rather atypical confrontation, but necessary.
I know, we all took hold of Sandor Clegane, but he was not exactly the best guy, his fate was proclaimed and we all knew what the imminent outcome of the fight would be.
5. The mistake of Jon Snow
We have to say that Varys acted very quickly without having given a convincing show to Jon, and we talked about the man who loves her blindly, who did not hesitate to support her until he stumbled against the wall, The whispering teacher was always right, but it was not the moment to say it. Let's say that their romance cost the lives of many innocents, "the cost does not justify the means".
It is nothing less than the legitimate heir to the Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, a fairly honorable and traditionalist man, but with a faith that violated his army and implied the fate of many. It is likely that we see a reaction of Jon Snow in the face of what happened, and perhaps this character will finally sit down in the position he deserves.
We will leave the uncertainty of a possible unforeseen death
NOTE: They did not launch the series overboard, they are faithful to the history they have and have built, and what followers want or crave, clearly they are worth less than nothing, which I find excellent.
Extra: Cinematographically it presented too many errors, dialogues, approaches, plans and dimensions. It is not an issue that everyone is competent or motivated, but in the case is unquestionable. We can even see how the kings hand is regenerated in different points of the camera, before his death (A FATAL ERROR) but even the best series in the world can be wrong.
We will continue our hope in the character that will raise the low critics and that will change all the remaining suspicion of the plot, Arya Stark.
Without further ado, another lover of Westeros says goodbye ...
Vallar Morgullus...
