Game Of Thrones season 6 episode 7, “The Broken Man”, will be airing Sunday, June 5 2016, at 9 PM EST. We’re heading into the final month of this season of Game Of Thrones, which means chaos is around the corner. Episode 6, “Blood Of My Blood”, was a major plot-laying episode. However, that sets up this week’s episode, “The Broken Man”, to be a heavy hitter. Jaime Lannister, Jon Snow, Brienne of Tarth, Tormund Giantsbane, and Sansa Stark are all on their way to Riverrun, so this week has the potential to bring together characters that haven’t shared a scene together since season 1. Also, the episode title “The Broken Man” could possibly be a reference to a character that we haven’t seen since season 4.
Game Of Thrones Season 6 Episode 7 Recap for “The Broken Man”
Game Of Thrones has brutally killed off favorite characters like it’s no ones business, however,
For all the idiots in the room, this is a RECAP so obviously SPOILERS ARE AHEAD. Now, let’s get to it:
(Editors Note: This is a college website, so this review was written as I sat in a room with my 5 other buddies. The reactions, opinions, and knowledge – or lack thereof – are both very collective, and very genuine. The quotes are live reactions- word for word.)
Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: The Hound is back.
“God I hope we get ton hear him say “F*ck the King!”
Ian McShane finally pops up as the leader of some sort of group? Tells The Hound he survived for a “reason”.
King’s Landing: A meeting between Margery and The High Sparrow. Margery says she “pretended” to love the poor, when she actually hated them. The High Sparrow threatens Margery’s grandmother, Lady Olenna, because of her sins.
Margery acts all shady towards her grandmother, but then slips her a note of a picture of a rose AKA to GTFO out of King’s Landing.
Where ever the f*ck Jon Snow’s Wildling army is: Jon Snow begs the Wildlings to fight for him. Tormund steps up and backs his boys because him and Jon are BFF. Jon gets a classic forearm grip handshake, which was dope.
King’s Landing: Lady Olenna and Cersei have a discussion, and Olenna rips Cersei a fresh, gapping new one. Cersei begs for the Tyrell’s help, but Olenna is like “Yo, I’m getting the hell outta her girl.”
“That’s the first time we’ve seen Cersei get f*cked by someone other than her brother.”
Riverrun: YES. Bronn and The Hound are both back. Bronn’s first line is something about “tw*ts learning to dig moats”, and his “c*ck being bigger than any unsullied.” He’s the best.
Walder Fray’s sons threaten the Blackfish to yield the castle by threatening to hang Edmure Tully. The Blackfish tells them literally “Go on. Cut his throat.” It was pretty boss. They bitch out and don’t do it.
Jaime and Bronn son the clown Fray’s and take over the siege.
Bear Island: Jon Snow and Sansa Stark show up to recruit some help. Lady Moermont is a little girl. This little girl does not take any crap, and gets right down to business. She essentially tells Sansa and Jon to screw.
Ser Davos does what he does, and starts dropping knowledge left and right. He convinces Lady Moermont to join them, however they literally only have 62 men to contribute and it’s painfully pathetic.
Riverrun: Jaime approaches the Csstle to negotiate, and gets subsequently destroyed by the Blackfish, who essentially tells Jaime to attack or go away.
Ania Bukstein is one lucky woman. She has never really had a major role in
House Glover (???): I don’t know who or where they are either. Sansa and Jon ask for their help, and they get epically shut down. Lord Glover goes on a rant about how House Stark is dead.
Where ever the f*ck Theon and Yara Are: Yara hazes Theon by making him drink and then tells him if he doesn’t grow up he should just kill himself. The motivation speech seems to work though.
Where ever the f*ck Jon and Sansa Are: Somewhere in the North, but they aren’t to specific about where. Sansa is starting to get worried about the state of their so called army, but Jon reassures her that Davos knows what he’s doing.
Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: Whoever Ian McShane is playing is giving a speech about… something? He cuts a boys throat. Some guys show up trying to raid this gang’s stuff, but Ian McShane’s character convinces them otherwidse.
Braavos: Arya buys a ride back to Westoros in the most gangsta way imagineable. All is well and everyone’s happy until that stupid b*tch The Waif shows up wearing an old lady face and stabs the crap out of Arya.
What the f*ck wasn’t sketchy about that Arya?! That old woman had ‘I’m a faceless murderer written all over her face’
Arya is able to fend off the attack, and escape but jumping into a river. She’s alive, but seriously injured.
Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: He’s chopping his wood when he hears a scream. His whole squad was murdered and his boy Ian McShane hung from the wooden fixture they were building. The Hound is now wielding an axe, and holy sh*t what an episode.
For a “setup” episode, that was awesome. Next week, it looks like were finally going to see Zombie Mountain kick some ass, Jaime progress his siege on Riverrun, as well as a reunion between Jaime and Brienne.
