created by the war has been cited by martin as one of the more thematically important points in the books. the tv adaptation
the broken man
is the seventh episode of the sixth season of game of thrones. it is the fifty - seventh episode of the series overall. it premiered on june 5, 2016. it was written by bryan cogman and directed by mark mylod .
this episode marks the first time that peter dinklage has not appeared in two consecutive episodes as tyrion lannister (he has only been absent from six episodes of the series, the least of any cast member). this leaves emilia clarke and lena headey (portraying daenerys targaryen and cersei lannister) as the only two cast members who have not been absent in two consecutive episodes .

notice that the prostitutes at the tavern the greyjoy crew visits in volantis have slave tattoos on their cheeks: as varys pointed out when volantis was first seen in season 5, slaves in the city are given different tattoos on their faces to indicate their occupations, and the tattoo for slave - prostitutes is a teardrop under their left eye (stylized as a downwards - pointing triangle) .

bear island appears for the first time on - screen in this episode, the seat of house mormont. jorah mormont introduced himself as coming from bear island since season 1, so it has been mentioned before in similar contexts .

cersei later confronts olenna about her plans to leave, telling her to remain for the sake of margaery and loras, who is still imprisoned. olenna retorts that the reason all of this is happening is because of cersei, as she was the one who allowed the faith militant to reform and allowed them to arrest loras and margaery. cersei admits that she made a mistake with the sparrows, but insists that an alliance between the lannisters and tyrells is more important now than it ever was. olenna refuses her, noting that cersei has neither influence nor support anymore and is surrounded by enemies. she tells cersei that she (olenna) will be leaving the city as soon as possible, and that cersei' s utter defeat is her only consolation .
theon and yara take the iron fleet to volantis to hide and rest. inside a brothel, theon sits despondently as yara and the others carouse with naked and semi - naked prostitutes. yara repeatedly tells theon to drink some ale and he repeatedly refuses .
if this was a test for the waif and not arya, that means that jaqen (or one of the other faceless men) is wearing an arya face - mask. in the books, the faceless men can only use faces from dead people - in this episode jaqen is even directly shown removing a face from a corpse. on the other hand, the tv continuity has changed this slightly to show that the faceless men can use faces that look like a still - living person. in the season 5 finale, arya saw her own face on the faceless man who poisoned himself - she might have been hallucinating in this moment, but prior to that, she also clearly saw a faceless man that looked like
jaqen h' ghar
who drank poison and killed himself, while another faceless man pretending to be the waif took off his mask and revealed jaqen' s face. this might simply be different in the tv version - perhaps the explanation is that the faceless men can take the faces of people with similar appearances and alter them to match a still - living person they closely resemble .

related but separated by vast distances (braavos, the wall, king' s landing, meereen, the dothraki, etc .) in contrast, the stannis / bolton / north storyline had merged during season 5, and they should have been treated as linked chronologically .
in the books, the war that meribald fought in was specifically the war of the ninepenny kings, also known as the fifth blackfyre rebellion, which brynden tully was actually a major commander in. the tv version doesn' t specify what conflict he fought in during his youth .
in the inside the episode featurette, the showrunners pointed out that yara does love and care for her brother theon, but they made her dialogue with him (which doesn' t have a direct counterpart in the novels) to be deliberately blunt ,
tough love
advice, because as they put it, yara isn' t a professional psychotherapist. as they explained, moreso than the rest of westeros, the ironborn are a very blunt, viking - like culture of warriors, so they felt this style of advice was more appropriate to their behavior .
then, in conclusion, a note on vaasugiri: everyone has a vaasu inside him (or her). there is nothing wrong about it to begin with. we, as mammals endowed with sexuality, are programmed to feel attracted to each other. it is a natural act, a physical need, as mandar pleads. however, over the centuries, we have made it into something perverse, something that needs to be hushed about, thanks to all the walls that we have erected between ourselves, and the way we have complicated everything (like with dating conventions, the concept of honour and disgrace, and so forth). we denatured our sexuality, took it out of context, overanalyzed and overthought it, and gradually dressed it into something marketable, obsessive, and shameful. ironically, it is such repression—and on the flipside, the paradoxical valorisation of the macho / playboy attitude—that makes an ‘everyday - man’ like mandar into an inveterate, compulsive, and helpless vaasu .

queen margaery is studying the seven - pointed star at the sept when the high sparrow enters and they discuss the passage she' s been reading, which is about the mother' s love and mercy. margaery notes that in the past she pretended to love the poor when in fact she only really pitied them. the high sparrow asks her why she hasn' t joined king tommen in the marriage bed, and margaery explains that the desires that once drove her no longer do so. the high sparrow assures her that desire is not necessary. she has a duty to produce an heir. the high sparrow then makes a thinly veiled threat against margaery' s grandmother, olenna tyrell, stating that while she is a remarkable woman, she is also an unrepentant sinner .
meanwhile, cogman stated that many days and weeks pass by as jon and sansa travel along the west coast of the north from the mormonts to the glovers - they didn' t mean to imply that the wall, bear island, and deepwood motte are all a day or two' s journey from each other .

this episode once again raises the issue that loras tyrell is being treated as the male heir of house tyrell. in the novels he had two older brothers, and they were cut from the tv show, but even so it is unclear if they have younger brothers or cousins after loras if he were to be removed .

in the end, jon and sansa are only able to recruit a small number of minor houses, only adding a few hundred extra soldiers to their army. lady lyanna and her men are seen among the stark and wildling forces. davos deals with a brawl among the wildlings. despite being heavily outnumbered, jon is adamant that they attack winterfell as soon as possible before ramsay rallies more forces and before the weather turns on them. sansa disagrees, instead opting to try and recruit more houses. when jon refuses to change his mind, sansa begins writing a letter to be sent by raven to petyr baelish, taking him up on the offer for troops she previously rejected .
use a line for line reading of meribald' s speech, as in the books it talks about conscripts being reduced to banditry and living like animals preying on peasants caught in war zones. this would have been difficult to introduce in this context - in the books meribald actually gives it to brienne - but it is one of the most iconic speeches in the novels (there are numerous
when reading lyanna' s letter to stannis, jon wonders how come lyanna was the one who wrote the letter, thinking that maege would have left at least one of the older girls behind as castellan. the answer is given by alysane, during the march of stannis' s host to winterfell :
lyra and jory are with our mother
( at unknown location) - thus ,
robett glover directly mentions that his brother galbart fought for robb and hailed him as king in the north: he doesn' t quite explicitly state that galbart is in fact dead, but heavily implies it. robett does mention that his wife and children were held captive by the ironborn, which did happen in the novels (yara kept them prisoner but made sure they were well cared for) .
arya is left handed, but
arya
in the episode consistently uses her right hand to handle the money bags she gives the sailors. maisie williams is actually right - handed in real life but is always careful to play arya as left - handed because she is in the novels - she wouldn' t make such a casual mistake like this (three separate times in the scene) .
we next see arya standing on a bridge admiring a view of the titan of braavos when an old woman approaches her and reveals herself to be the waif, who repeatedly stabs her in the gut, twisting the knife as she does. arya escapes by leaping over the handrail and into the river. she is left stumbling through the streets of braavos, leaving a trail of blood droplets and visibly afraid .
i want to move beyond ticking surface level boxes like “has a great sense of humor, ” or “loves the beach, ” which matter only for a short time, and long term not at all. i want the things that are core to what i believe are important for a human. as a registered human myself, this also applies to how i live my own life. and that’s way beyond skin deep .
although she gives me her heart and her mind, i want her body too. she understands her body, takes pleasure in it, knows what sets her afire, and wants to engage & teach me the same. she willingly gives herself to me because she knows i will simultaneously treat her body as the gift it is, but will also allow my hunger for her to take over, devouring every part of her .
it is pointed out to lyanna that her uncle jeor mormont made jon snow his personal steward, because he was grooming him to succeed him one day and thought him trustworthy. it is unclear, however, why jon didn' t take this opportunity to also point out that her uncle outright gave him the house mormont ancestral sword, longclaw, made of priceless valyrian steel, and assuredly jeor would only have bestowed his blade on a man he thought was trustworthy. then again, perhaps jon was worried that if the meeting didn' t go well, they might try to take the sword back from him .
is still alive; in the fifth novel, it is implied by her daughter alysane that she is alive and with two of her other daughters. robb has sent her and galbart glover on a mission to the north prior to the red wedding, and ever since no one heard from them. she has older surviving sisters (the eldest, dacey mormont, died at the red wedding). maege did leave young lyanna as the
it is unclear where the tv version is drawing the exact number of only 62 fighters. in the books, it is mentioned that all of the vassal houses in the western half of the north can only muster about 1, 200 men or so, and as lyanna mormont points out, bear island isn' t very populous and didn' t have a large army to begin with (before most of its soldiers got slaughtered in the war) .
margaery instead pleads for olenna to return to highgarden instead. as she emphatically tells her grandmother to return home, margaery secretly slips a piece of paper into olenna' s hand. in doing so, she seems to have successfully communicated to olenna that she doesn' t quite mean what she' s been saying in front of septa unella, and olenna' s expression changes, realizing this. she plays along and agrees to acquiesce, then walks away .
this is only the sixth episode of the entire tv series that tyrion lannister has not appeared in - and given that he didn' t appear in the previous episode either, this is officially the first time in the entire run of the tv series to date that tyrion has been absent for two episodes in a row. if tyrion misses one more episode, he will slip down to tie with cersei as the most frequently recurring character in the tv series .
in turn, this explains why unlike much of the rest of westeros or even the rest of the north, bear island has a strong tradition of producing warrior women: bear island itself is fairly poor and densely forested (as seen in the episode), so its inhabitants gain most of their sustenance by fishing the surrounding waters. this means that the men are often out at sea for days at a time, unable to react to surprise sea raids made by ironborn or wildling boats that slip past them to get to their homes on the island. as a result, the mothers and older daughters of families on bear island had to learn to take up weapons themselves to defend themselves and their homes. while they apparently follow the inheritance laws of the mainland, putting daughters behind sons, so many men die in raids that families from the island fully prepare their daughters to fight and potentially have to rule some day .
yara is persuading theon to regain his former identity and self confidence, as she will need his assistance in getting justice and retaking the iron islands from their uncle euron. when pressed, he says that if justice were served, he would be burnt for his crimes, so she responds, “fuck justice then. do it for revenge. ” eventually she convinces him to put his guilt aside and help her because she needs him. he drinks some ale and begins to gain some composure .
in the books, jaime didn' t bring a full lannister army of 8, 000 men to riverrun to assist the freys: instead, some elements of other lannister armies were already present, commanded by his cousin daven lannister (son of stafford lannister), who had been struggling in vain to get the freys in line (daven is a capable leader and jaime sympathizes with his troubles). thus in the book version, jaime only brought about 1, 000 new lannister soldiers with him as reinforcements from king' s landing. as the siege was a recent development in the tv version, tv - jaime apparently just brought them all at once (it wasn' t stated how many lannister soldiers were already present under daven' s command in the books). the frey army surrounding riverrun numbered about 2, 000 in the books (most of the other half of their army accompanied the boltons to winterfell to help them hold the north, but this was cut from the tv version) .
jon, sansa, and davos travel to bear island, where they meet with lyanna, the ten - year old head of house mormont. sansa and jon try to flatter her with small talk about her mother maege and uncle jeor mormont. however, lyanna is unimpressed and aggressively brushes them off, demanding to know their business in bear island. lyanna initially rejects their request for help and stresses that house stark is dead and that she needs her forces to garrison bear island. she also remarks that jon and sansa cannot be considered starks since the former is a bastard and the latter has been married twice into enemy houses. lyanna is initially unconcerned about the threat of ramsay. before lyanna can dismiss them, davos intervenes. after briefly discussing his background, davos manages to convince the young lady mormont by warning her about the dangers the white walkers pose to the living. she agrees to contribute 62 men, which is all she can manage, and promises that they each fight as well as ten men .
in the books, ryman was the frey that jaime struck across the face to teach him a lesson about not making idle threats: the tv version condensed this with black walder rivers. as seen in the episode, jaime struck him with his golden prosthetic hand, badly injuring him and knocking him to the ground. in the books the hand is solid gold, though for unknown reasons the tv series had jaime point out that it is gold - plated steel - still a heavy, solid - metal prosthetic .
in part this explains why lyanna mormont is such a confident, capable, and defiant ruler despite being a 10 year old girl. many major lords on the mainland don' t expect their daughters to come to rule and thus don' t train them for it, i. e. tywin lannister never tried 10 year old cersei lannister to be able to rule and fight if he died. in contrast, house mormont does raise its daughters to be able to rule as capable political leaders if the need arises .
the tv version is nonetheless thematically similar: he explains that he used to be a soldier, and instead of glory and honor, it led to him mindlessly obeying orders to burn villages and kill unarmed peasants, but he' s tried to make amends with what time he has left alive. as a conscientious objector to the vietnam war, george r. r. martin was critical of how other high fantasy literature glorified war, and he wanted to deconstruct this in his own works to show how in real life it is most often horrible and pointless suffering .
dorne does not appear in this episode, and has not appeared since the season premiere. the night' s watch, bran stark and his subplot, the vale, samwell and gilly in the reach, ramsay bolton at winterfell, daenerys targaryen and the dothraki, and meereen also do not appear. cersei, olenna, and margaery appear in king' s landing but tommen and the small council do not. house greyjoy appears in the form of yara and theon' s faction as their fleet arrives in volantis, but their uncle euron and the iron islands themselves do not .
in the novels, brienne and podrick encounter a wandering septon named meribald who used to be a soldier in his youth, became a bandit at one point and did many things he is ashamed of, and now makes penance for his past by helping the poor and needy. the tv version basically condensed septon meribald and the elder brother together into one character: they are similar characters in the books. in the

, meanwhile, does not exist in the books at all - it is an in - joke reference to screenwriter craig mazin, who doesn' t directly work on the tv series but gave the showrunners vital advice about the unaired pilot episode. this is the third time it has been mentioned in the tv series, the second this season. a new second - tier
major house
can' t easily be fit into the map of the north at this point, given that the books have already clearly defined who controls which territories. there are two in - universe possibilities: house mazin might be a prominent third - tier
minor house
( similar to how house forrester are prominent vassals of house glover, who are themselves vassals of the starks), or they might be one of the 40 or so minor noble houses from the northern mountain clans who live northwest of winterfell - they are all as weak as minor houses, but are technically second - tier major houses in the sense that they are sworn directly to the starks and don' t have any other overlords. the books never gave a definitive list of all of the northern mountain clans .
it isn' t explicitly stated where the scenes involving sandor clegane take place, but given the presence of the brotherhood without banners it is apparently somewhere in the riverlands - combined with the fact that brother ray' s book counterpart septon meribald also operated in the riverlands. when arya abandoned sandor they were actually leaving the vale and near the coast where its southern border meets the riverlands (which is how she was in riding distance of a port at maidenpool). also brother ray says he picked up sandor on a wagon, so apparently he took the hound with him as he journeyed back into the riverlands .
brynden states that riverrun has enough food supplies to last for two years. in the books, he similarly managed to gather ample food supplies at the castle before the siege began, right after the red wedding. in the tv version, the siege wasn' t going on off - screen this whole time but is stated to have only recently begun after brynden recaptured it in a sneak attack, thus he still has two full years worth of food supplies in this version as well. sieges can last for many years in westeros, because castles are built with larger storage space to survive the years - long winters .
yara' s character is named
asha greyjoy
in the books, she was renamed to avoid confusion with osha the wildling (asha greyjoy is a much more prominent character, but was only introduced in season 2, after osha was introduced in season 1). asha in the books shows no particular hints of being bisexual or experimenting with women: she is very sexually active and unashamed of this, going so far as to learn from a woods witch how to make her own moon tea (an abortion drug). game of thrones wiki reached out to george r. r. martin himself to inquire about this :
meereen appears in the title sequence even though it isn' t in the actual episode. as the creators explained, it would be very expensive to create an animation for every location that appears on - screen, so they limit them to those that will recur frequently enough that it justifies the expense. no title animation was created for volantis when it appeared in season 5 because it only appeared in one episode - thus there wasn' t a pre - existing one to use in this episode. the greyjoy fleet is headed to meereen, so on the balance it was probably less expensive to just re - use the animation for that location .
the only subplots which haven' t caught up with their materials from the novels at this point are samwell and gilly actually arriving in oldtown itself, a few (condensed) parts of the greyjoy subplot, parts of the king' s landing storyline, and a few elements from the slaver' s bay storyline (though tyrion has caught up). this isn' t counting major subplots which were simply abandoned such as the martell storyline from the books and the griff storyline in the free cities. at the rate these few subplots are advancing, it appears that every subplot will totally catch up with the books by the end of season 6 .
in the parallel book scene, davos attends the court of lord wyman manderly, seeking to have him support stannis. one of the attending freys, ser jared (fourth son of lord frey), tells the freys' version of the red wedding: robb and his followers have warged into wolves, and the freys acted in self defense. brazenly, jared even goes that far to claim that wendel was killed as he shielded lord frey with his body. davos is stunned at the enormity of the lie, which wyman seems to believe. then, rhaegar frey (lord frey' s grandson) says similar things to robett' s statement in the show :
major credit goes to the cast of course – from the lead actors to the cameos. brilliant, understated portrayals, complemented by natural dialogues, situations, and issues. as jyotsana, one of mandar’s married lovers, quips, tu toh bhaag gaya, main kahaan bhaagegi? thus, they part with a final hug, a wistful smile on her face; leaving you to reflect on the nature of impulse and the social implications. moreover, all the characters look real—the sort of people you see around your neighbourhood or on the streets. special mention to the child actors who manage to convey the awkwardness, insecurities, and excitement associated with sex and attraction during adolescence .
jaime and bronn lead the lannister army to the gates of riverrun, where the freys attempt to coerce the blackfish into surrendering the castle by threatening to execute edmure tully. the blackfish calls their bluff and refuses to surrender. disgusted with the freys' incompetence, jaime takes charge of the siege and attempts to parley with the blackfish, warning him that the lannisters will show no mercy to the tullys, but if he surrenders, the lives of his men will be spared. the blackfish rejects the offer and warns jaime that he has two years worth of food in his stronghold, and that while hundreds of his own men may die defending, thousands of lannister troops will perish as well .
jaime lannister never went to dorne as he did in season 5 of the tv series - the dorne subplot in season 5 was so heavily condensed or outright changed that it bore little resemblance to that subplot in the novels. instead, that was the point in time at which jaime left for the riverlands to deal with holdout pockets of robb stark' s tully allies - and thus he wasn' t present when the faith militant arrested cersei, nor for her impending trial by combat. when he received a letter in which cersei begged him to come back and aid her he burned it in disgust, realizing that her petty plotting against the tyrells nearly destroyed their family' s hold on power and endangered tommen.
