I watched the seventh episode three times, it was too dark, my heart was tired and my eyes were even more tired. The plot of this episode is basically expected, compared to the original, the best adaptation lies in Lannino's suspended animation. The death of Lannino in the original
was taken over, but maybe these old horses had new ideas, so the accident was rearranged as a suspended animation in the play. Personally, I like this adaptation quite a bit. Lannino went to a free trade city-state. Years later, Wei Er accidentally survived after falling into the sea and was returned by Governor Rees. So is there any secret help from Lannino? Worth thinking about. The seventh episode of
generally revolves around issues of bloodline and kingship, cruel and ridiculous.
For example, in the funeral at the beginning, in a serious and grievous occasion, Damon, who should have been immersed in the pain of losing his wife, actually laughed out loud. The reason should be that Lanner's uncle who is chanting the eulogy in the background says "Valerian is pure blood, never diluted..."
bloodline becomes the biggest joke.
Wei Yi and Sea Snake defend the "pure blood" of Xiaojie and Xiaolu; one is the future Lord of the Iron Throne, and the other is the future Lord of Tidehead Island, but everyone understands that these two children No Valerian blood, they are Strong.
But keeping a secret doesn't mean you can hide your ears. The conversation between the Sea Snakes in front of the fireplace is a classic, remembered not by blood but by name. From the sea snake's point of view, Valerian's nobility and sanctity must be remembered by history, and no matter what the bloodline is, as long as it is named "Valerian", it must be respected. Therefore, the bloodline of Xiaolu is not important, the surname Valerian is the most important. If the idea of the sea snake is extended, the dragon species will appear in large numbers in the later stage of "Dance of the Blood Dragon", and the situation that the old sea snake accepts the illegitimate child also makes sense.
Emond rides Waghal at night, here five kids fight in the castle, over there Rhineira and Damon's uncle and nephew "fight" on the beach, "blood" is still the most important keyword . If the hero sees the same thing, it means that Wei Yi's attitude towards Xiaojie coincides with that of the sea snake. When Lenila brought the issue of Xiaojie's lineage to the table, the only thing Wei Yi could do was to use absolute authority to justify Xiaojie's name. The confrontation between Allison and Rhaenyra with a dagger can be called the breaking point of this episode. Allison's veil of forbearance was completely lifted, and her girlfriend's love was completely cut off by a wound. During the dispute, the black and green parties clearly divided their camps. Allison ordered Cole to dig out the eyes of the path. In the confusion, Damon blocked Cole. The
conflict made it clear to everyone that the issue of blood has finally risen to the issue of kingship. Lannino took the initiative to abdicate and planned the suspended animation together with Rhaenyla and Damon, and then Damon and Rhaenyra finally tied the knot. In this marriage, love is no longer the foundation, and the common need of Targaryen and Valerian to defend the kingship is the foundation of this wedding. Therefore, the marriage of Damon and Rhaenyra, not only did not arouse the disgust of the sea snake, but also strengthened the relationship between Valerian and the black party.
Finally, Larry Strong's attitude towards Allison. Larys was always watching Alison affectionately from the corner, even Cole spotted it, but Allison downplayed it "because he's the Duke of Harrenhal". In the original book, Larry was a staunch Green Party, dying to the death, but he didn't show his feelings for Allison. If it is shown in the play that he has a crush on Allison, this loyalty is understandable.
