The discovery of extinct creatures from ancient legends began at the border of Westeros, and danger began to loom closer. The Eddard Stark family, Lord of Winterfell and Lords of the North, also welcomed a visit from his old friend and King Robert · Baratheon. The King wants Eddard · Stark to take on the role of Prime Minister against the rebels who are trying to seize the Iron Throne.

The world, which can last for years, has now entered late autumn, and the bitter cold winter is not far off. People should have prepared for the possibility of snow and ice that would last for years, but the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros were still shrouded in the shadow of civil war.

The imp is judged as the murderer and asks for a joust trial, and Jon leads the night watch in the north as they face a massive attack by the wildlings.
The fifth season is a word-of-mouth turning point for "Game of Thrones", the Douban scores in the first seven seasons are 9.4, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.3, 9.5, 9.3, and the score of more than 9 points per season is enough to show that this is a divine drama, but it can also be seen that some viewers seem to be not very satisfied with the fifth and seventh seasons.
Let's focus on the plot of these three seasons together, so as to analyze why the ratings have dropped in these seasons.
The plot of the fifth season has begun to be greatly adapted and deleted from the original plot, and the later stories basically belong to the screenwriter's own originality. It is undeniable that the quality of the next three seasons has decreased compared with the first four. Let's first review what happened in the three seasons of May, June and July:
1. Summary of the plot of the fifth, sixth, and seventh seasons
Since Tywin's death, the forces of King's Landing have taken advantage of the situation. Cersei is a clever weapon and privilege to use religious power to suppress the Rose family. Unexpectedly, she was burned, and although she successfully sent Little Rose and the Hundred Flowers Knight to the black prison, she herself was also imprisoned in the black prison.
In the end, she had to bow her head for a while and gain her freedom by parading through the streets.
She then fought back, and she did what the Mad King failed to achieve: she lit the wildfire in Baylor Cathedral and burned everyone who opposed her, even her own uncle, Kaivon. Her son Tomman could not accept this and committed suicide, and Cersei's three children all died as prophesied, and she simply sat on the Iron Throne and became king.
Jon · Snow was elected as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, and he rejected Stannis · Baratheon's recruitment.
Stannis led his army to Winterfell alone, where he was annihilated in an engagement with the Bolton army, and he was eventually executed by Brienne the Beauty. During the difficult battle, Jon · Snow witnessed the terrible army of strangers, and he and Tormund led some of the wildlings out of danger and came to Castle Black together.
Some of the Night's Watch could not accept Jon's move to reconcile with the enemy, and together they murdered Jon · Snow.
At the insistence of the Onion Knight, the red-robed woman Melisandre successfully resurrected Jon · Snow.
After the resurrection, Jon · Snow executed the betrayal of the Night's Watch and then decided to resign as the Night's Watch Commander and end his watch. He later reunited with Sansa at Castle Black, and later won the bastard battle with Sansa's assistance.
The Wolves succeeded in retaking Winterfell, and Jon · Snow was proclaimed King of the North.
Meanwhile, in the distant slave city-state of Meereen, slave owners fund the Harpy Sons to rebel against the Dragon Mother's rule.
In the chaos, the dragon Zhuo Geng appeared in time and fled the scene of the riot with the dragon mother.
After returning to Meereen to punish the slave owners, the Dragon Mother ordered Dario's second group to stay in Meereen to maintain her rule. She travels to Westeros with three dragons, along with the army of the Unsullied and the army of Dothraki, to reclaim the Iron Throne.
With the assistance and help of the Little Devil and Varys, and the successful alliance with the Dorne, High Court, and the Greyjoy siblings of the Iron Isles, she has the Unsullied Army and the Dothraki Cavalry, not to mention the three dragon plug-ins, no matter how you look at it, she should be able to win.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Mother's camp suffered an unfavorable start in the seventh season, losing two powerful allies, High Court and Dorne, one after another.
The time when the Dragon Mother personally staged a furious conquest was probably the only victory.
As Snow and Aunt Dragon's aunt and nephew spark their passion, Bran, Erya, and Sansa are reunited in Winterfell. Bran inherited the mantle of the Three-Eyed Raven, and the second girl returned from the Black and White Academy of Braavos, where she executed the Frey family and Littlefinger, who had betrayed the wolf family.
Sandwiched between the enemy Cersei and the Alien Legion heading south, Snow and the Dragon Mother are not having an easy time. In the future, in Winterfell, a great battle for the survival of mankind is about to begin.
2. Deficiencies
After reviewing the plot of the three seasons, it is clear that it contains a huge amount of information.
In order to speed up the development of the plot and bring all the main characters together as soon as possible, the screenwriter made some trade-offs, which made some of the side lines controversial, such as the hasty ending of the Dorne line, which greatly reduced the excitement.
I regret the character of Stannis, the only one of them who truly believes in the existence of the Wraiths of all those vying for the Iron Throne. His army was not good at fighting in the northern environment, but he chose to go north to protect the entire kingdom.
If he hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that all the night watchmen, including Jon · Snow, would have died at the hands of the savages.
Stannis is not completely cold-blooded and ruthless, he still cares about his daughter's life and death, so when there is a plot in the play where he burns his daughter with his own hands, causing the army to lose heart, I think Stannis's character collapsed.
In addition, some of the plots have loopholes and cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
3. Flash
No matter how much you complain about the loopholes, you can't ignore the existence of bright spots.
These three seasons have created a fairly successful character - Bear Island ·Lyanna ·Mormont, this character has countless fans as soon as he debuted in the sixth season.
The loyal Addo has infected countless viewers, and the moment he shouts "Hold the door" again and again, we finally know why he only says the word Hodor.
The scene where the dragon roars and the battle rages, and the scene where Jaime · Lannister rush towards the dragon is the most memorable moment of the seventh season.
The difficult battle in the eighth episode of the fifth season, the bastard war in the ninth episode of the sixth season, and the furious fire in the fourth episode of the seventh season, are all epic war scenes.
It is worth mentioning that the fifth, sixth and seventh seasons, which were relatively criticized by the original party, won the Emmy Award for Best Drama Series in a row. The fifth season, which has a relatively low rating, directly swept the 67th Emmy Awards, winning Best Series, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.
After all, the first four seasons have laid a good foundation for the entire series, and these three seasons are still flawed on the whole.
You will find that from the fifth season onwards, the main creators have taken into account the taste of the public, and gradually developed in the direction of grand scenes and simple and crude cool dramas, which has also made the ratings rise all the way and has a super high degree of topic around the world. The reunion of many main characters in the seventh season, and the strong sparks between them, make the whole show even more interesting.
Also, does a lot of text and images look a little messy? If I use ProcessOn to organize them in a mind map, it will be clear and easy to understand.

In addition, I also recommend several other templates that are more suitable for organizing the plot in ProcessOn

The story finally ushered in the final chapter, that is, the eighth season, what are the wonderful clips in the eighth episode?
In the eighth season, Jon · Snow, who returns to Winterfell, learns the secret of his origins from Bran · Stark, casting a frost over his relationship with Daenerys · Targaryen. The boys of the wolf family finally ushered in a long-lost reunion. Euron brought the Golden Order to the rebellious Queen of Se in an attempt to gain her trust.
In this way, a great work came to an end.
The above is my introduction to the entire series of "Game of Thrones" and some of my own opinions and opinions, although some plots may not be very reasonable, but it does not prevent everyone from loving this show. "Game of Thrones" will always immerse you in the charm of the characters and can't extricate yourself, you may see your own shadow in it, reminiscing about those years of chasing dramas, I think this is what Game of Thrones fans call feelings.
In addition, large-scale dramas like "Game of Thrones" are a great test of everyone's ability to sort out, here I recommend using ProcessOn to draw online, whether it is a flow chart or the plot-related mind map I demonstrated for you with ProcessOn above, it can be easily drawn, the ProcessOn section is clear, rich in content and suitable for novices, come and give it a try.
