‘Game of Thrones,’ Season 6, Episode 7 Review and News Update: ‘The Broken Man’ Brings out the Broken Spirits
Game of Thrones, Season 6 has moved ahead its halfway mark with the seventh episode and as was being anticipated, the show is now aiming towards the end.
The seventh episode's title- 'The Broken Man,' had created rumors that it will see the return of Sandor Clegane, which it did, thereby, justifying the name. But he was not the only broken character who we saw. There were many more.
Jaime Lannister's broken side came to light when the fierce Blackfish taunts him, asking if he has two years to starve out the Tully forces. Sansa too got a taste of her weak position when Lord Glover tells her that House Stark is dead. She and Jon feels the heat at other junctures too as they go around rallying the support of the North.
Lady Lyanna Mormont of Bear Island proves to be a tough talker and gives the siblings a hard time, asking them to press for their case. And seeing them fumble, it is all left to Ser Davos, who does a good job of negotiation and reminds the Lady that winter is coming. He wins over her too with his smarts when he praises her 62 men and predicts doom for Boltons if her forces are even half as fierce as her.
On the other hand, another Stark seems all set to leave Braavos after having struck a deal with the sailor but she won't have it easy. The Waif stabs her in the belly, leaving her wounded and walking the streets of the city, with no one coming to the aid of the broken Arya.
In the King's Landing too, the broken Cersei tries to find common ground with Lady Olenna, but the latter rebuffs her. Still, Cersei manages to convey her bitterness when she tells the old woman that she has lost and should leave.
Queen Margaery is not having a good time either as the High Sparrow has totally overpowered her. But at last, we know she has plans to outsmart the faith militants when she secretly hands Lady Olenna a doodle of a golden rose.
