In a similar incident, Shang Gu sacrificed herself in a trial that lasted 60,000 years. Whenever the mortals call upon them, these gods readily come to their rescue. She has spent innumerable lifetimes as the leader of the four true immortals who are hailed as gods by mortal beings. Synopsis: Shang Gu (Yu) is the only true immortal with pure essence energy. Overall, wonderful yet again.Cast: Xu Kai, Zhou Dong Yu, Jenny Zhang, Liu Xue Yi One roots for the animals, whether prey or predator. Instead, it feels like its own individual story with real, complex emotions and conflicts. What was said about the krill was a strong example of something new to me and was of great surprise. Of the animals, the polar bears, penguins (Emperor and Chinstrap) and leopard seal particularly shine. He delivers it with his usual richness, soft-spoken enthusiasm and sincerity, never talking down to the viewer and keeping them riveted and wanting to know more.

Attenborough's narration helps quite significantly too, he clearly knows his stuff and knows what to say and how to say it.

There are things already known to me, still delivered with a lot of freshness, but there was a lot that was quite an education and after watching the full series it honestly felt like the series taught me a lot. Can't fault the narrative aspects in 'Frozen Seas' either. Some of my favourite work from him in fact, coming from someone who's liked a lot of what he's done. It not only complements the visuals but enhances them to a greater level. George Fenton's music score soars majestically, rousing the spirits while touching the soul. Standing out even more is the photography, never before or since 'The Blue Planet' has there been more stunning underwater sequences.

It has gorgeous scenery and rich colours, while the animals and marine life are captured in all their glory. Visually, 'Frozen Seas' is a wonder, same with all the series' episodes and Attenborough's work in general. Like 'Open Ocean', 'Frozen Seas' may not have won or been nominated for awards like 'Ocean World' and 'The Deep' were or have scenes as memorable as the two shocking and emotionally devastating scenes in 'Ocean World', this doesn't matter and neither makes the episode any less inferior. 'Frozen Seas' for me is one of the series' best episodes. To me, the series overall is wholly deserving of its acclaim and the individual episodes are rated far too low. As said in my reviews for the individual episodes of 'Frozen Planet', it is a shame that despite being one of IMDb's highest rated shows, the ratings here for each episode individually has such a wide divide between them and that for the show overall. It is also one of his most ground-breaking, in that it's the first comprehensive series of oceanic natural history and including and exploring creatures and their behaviour that had never been seen before. It leaves me in complete and utter awe every time, with how much is learnt about all the different seas and marine inhabitants and how it all looks visually. 'The Blue Planet' is one of my favourites of his. He has done so many treasures and even his lesser output of a long and consistently impressive career is still good. David Attenborough, as has been said many times, is wholly deserving of being called a national treasure, although it is a term he happens to not like.
