The 8th episode of "The Dragon Family" is still in the foreshadowing stage as a whole. This episode is of relatively high quality since the last few episodes. It mainly depends on the "highlight moment" of Viserys I. I believe that the plot should be Impressed many viewers.
The title of this episode is "The Lord of the Tides", which is "The Lord of the Tides". It seems to be related to the next owner of the Driftwood Throne of Tideshead Island, but it is still about The Iron Throne The question of who will belong to the next one. This time, I will explain to you some of the more important plots in this episode,
is an old-fashioned rule, the article contains spoilers, please read carefully if you mind.
Episode 1: Viserys' highlights
"Dragon Family" is a relatively large adaptation here compared to "Blood and Fire". The adaptation did not start with this episode, but started "layout" a long time ago. In the original book, Viserys' physical health began to deteriorate sharply after the "Dispute of the Heirs of Valerian", and the drama caused the old king's body to have problems early on. Until the "Dispute of the Heirs", it was almost Unable to walk down the ground.
extended from this, Viserys I, who was terminally ill and had difficulty walking, dragged his heavy body step by step from the door to the Iron Throne, firmly supported his daughter, and showed "great fatherly love". . It's like starting to lay the groundwork for Viserys' "Highlight Moment" a long time ago, so I think the adaptation here is indeed very successful.
Episode 2: Damon and Viserys Reconciliation
When Viserys refused Kingsguard 's support, but let Damon help him sit on the Iron Throne and put the crown on Viserys' head At that time, Dimon used his actions to show that he no longer coveted the crown, but the two brothers had already reconciled.
This episode has a lot of information. If you have read the original book, you will know that when Viserys and Lannino (in the original novel, Lannino competed with Viserys in the name of his eldest grandson) for the Iron Throne, It was Daemon who assembled the army to fight the sea snake Corliss to the death. And Viserys was in the exact same situation as this one: alone and struggling.
So this episode also implies that Viserys first sat on the Iron Throne and wore the crown with the help of Damon; and now he sits on the Iron Throne and wears the crown for the last time, still Done with Dimon's help.
Episode 3: Dayana Incident
If you look closely at the plot, you will find that Dayana's abrupt plot should be an ambush for some of the later plots, because Tyra, one of the insiders of this incident, is in the There is a meeting with Messalia in the second half of the episode, and Messalia is called "Mrs.", which means that Terra is under Messalia's command.
Then, there are two possibilities for the "Dayana Incident":
First, this incident was arranged by Messaria to divide the relationship between Allison and Prince Aegon. The plot shows that if this is the case, then this "arrangement" can be said to be quite successful. After all, Allison had said things like "you don't deserve to be my son", which shows how disappointed she was with Prince Aegon's absurd behavior.
Second, the incident itself was an accident, but the "tea" that Tyra prepared for Dayana was actually ineffective. Now Dayana is in Mesaria's grasp, and may give birth to Iraqi later. Prince Geng's blood, and Mesaria will make a fuss about this "blood".
According to the plot of the original book, Uncle Mei personally thinks the second possibility is more likely: in the original book, in the last moment of Rhaenyla's rule of King's Landing, there was a "three kings fighting for hegemony" in the city. This "three kings" One of them is that the ladies of flea street jointly recommended a little boy named "light-haired" Guymon,And said that whoever supports Guymon, the ladies will serve him for free.
Although the "light-haired" Guymon in the original work does not have any "true dragon blood", such an adaptation of the series obviously strengthens the "legality" and rationality of Guymon's "hegemony".
Episode 4: The Last Moments of Viserys
This section also needs to be highlighted. Before Viserys died, he mistook Allison for Rhaenyra, so the "Aegon" in his mouth was referring to Rhaenyra and Daemon's son, later "Aegon III", so until his deathbed , Viserys did not want to change his decision.
But the episodes show that Alison doesn't seem to know that Rhaenyra has a son named "Aegon", so she takes the "Aegon" in Viserys's words as her own son, which is later "Aegon". II", which led her to think that Viserys had changed her mind and was no longer ready to support Rhaenyla's succession.
and Viserys passed away shortly after saying these words, so there was no way to solve this "misunderstanding". As a result, this "misunderstanding" became another reason for Allison to support his son's succession.
But Uncle Mei personally feels that this adaptation is quite "superfluous". I don't understand why the main creator has always wanted to portray Allison as a "white lotus", as if her "usurpation" was out of her own hands, all driven by the people around her. In fact, doing so may make some audiences have a good impression of her, but if you study the logic carefully, you will find a serious problem.
Let's leave the original and just talk about the episodes. At the beginning of the series, Alison and Rhaenyra were close friends, but she approached Viserys at the behest of her father, Otto Hightower, to which she showed obvious resistance, but eventually complied with her father. s arrangement.
Later, she tried to bridge the gap between Rhaenyla and Viserys, and even caused her father to be fired. It was not until Lenila's absurd behavior and pressing step by step that she began to try to resist, but she still held a compassionate heart in the process of "resisting". Her real outburst came on the night Aemond lost her eyes, but even at that point, she still hadn't made up her mind to "usurp the throne".
Everyone, here is where the logic is difficult to be consistent: if she is a person who obeys her father, then she will not be "high-secret" and cause her father to be dismissed; if she is a person with her own independent thinking , then he would not follow his father's arrangement and approach his best friend's father, because anyone with a brain can think that the two will definitely give birth to an heir after marriage, and as long as it is a boy, it will definitely affect the bestie's inheritance.
wants to explain Allison's "erratic" personality, there is only one answer: that her own personality is hypocritical. That is to say, when she approached Rhae Nila from the beginning, her purpose was not pure, and what she did later was to cover up her true purpose.
But from the current plot, the main creator obviously doesn't think so, so I personally think that the adaptation of the plot related to the character of Allison, especially the adaptation of "motivation", is not ideal.
Finally
After 8 episodes of foreshadowing, we finally "send away" Viserys I. I didn't expect it to be like what I said in my previous article, "8 episodes of foreshadowing, the last two episodes will have a climax". I don't know how wonderful the performance of the series can be seen in episode 9, but I believe that after 8 episodes, if there is not enough exciting content to present, it is too unreasonable.
