The Broken Man
Contents:
The reader recognizes the clues. For those hoping the Brotherhood would be under the guidance of a certain lady, we saw no evidence of that this week.
At any rate, The Hound lives. Theon is another character who has spent seasons being broken to pieces. Every time Yara says you drink, you drink! So after slapping a few butts, Yara went to get laid off screen. I do believe that is our first outright lesbian character, yes? But what was striking is that, in the end, it was Robb Stark who seems to have really sealed the deal when it came to their inability to get men to follow the name of Stark.
Jon will go to war anyway, with the army he has, not the one he wishes he had. How she understood what this single drawing of the Tyrell rose meant is up for the viewer to decide.
Small Council: What did you think of “The Broken Man?”
She recognized the warning: She kicked Cersei as hard as she could—as hard as the Blackfish kicked Jaime up at Riverrun. But there was no one riding higher, or who had farther to fall this week, than Arya. A new change of clothes, a few bags of money, and a willing captain to take her back across the Narrow Sea and she would be fine. Within moments of her success in securing a ride home, she was brought all the way down with a knife to the gut—the sort of deadly wound that takes days to kill a man.

Arya was injured, down for the count. But those hours and hours of training kicked in, and she rolled into the bay, hiding in the water in hopes the Waif would really think her dead. For the moment, it seems to have worked. But Arya is bleeding openly through the streets on her way back to hiding.

Winter is Coming
Arya makes arrangements to return to Westeros but she is stabbed by the Waif. Came to 'Game of Thrones' fairly late in the game and due to being so busy the binge-watching was gradual.
Have found myself truly loving the show, very quickly becoming one of my favourites. It totally lives up to the hype and not only does it do the brilliant source material justice a rarity in television it is on its own merits one of the finest, most addictive and consistently compelling shows in recent years and quality-wise it puts a lot of films in recent years to shame.
That is in no way a knock because it is still a great episode that has almost everything that makes 'Game of Thrones' such a favourite. It doesn't matter that "The Broken Man" is not the most action-packed episode, that there aren't the big moments quite on the same level as other episodes and that it doesn't have as many bold revelations. What "The Broken Man" does brilliantly is the characterisation and development.
One of the best episodes of Season 6 in this regard, plentiful and very rich, never less than interesting. It is one of those setting up episodes and putting things into place, again doing a great job with that and in a way that forwards momentum and like things are leading somewhere. It also does better than the previous Season 6 episodes for me actually in feeling the most like the first two seasons and like the show had gone back to its roots, possibly too the best Season 6 in general got in achieving this.

No knocking here, just really liked that there was a return to this story approach. Did feel that Arya's scenes were a little rushed and didn't fit as comfortably as the rest of the more relevant and bigger events did, her biggest moment her attack is shocking though. Other than that, there are standout elements in the story and characters. In particular Sandor's return, the introduction of Lyanna, Blackfish an awesome character , Jaime and Blackfish's interaction and the Riverrun siege.
Have no issue with the performances with not a bad performance in the bunch, with the introductory and returning characters making just as much an impression as the regulars. Rory McCann is pretty scintillating, as is Clive Russell with some of the episode's best lines. The scenery is throughout spectacular, the sets are hugely atmospheric and beautiful on the eyes with a real meticulous eye for detail and the costumes suit the characters to a tee.
The make-up is beautifully done. As well the cinematography and editing, which are cinematic quality as well.
One cannot talk about "The Broken Man" without mentioning the thematically, orchestrally and atmospherically multi-layered music scoring and the unforgettable main theme. The end scoring is especially powerful. Plenty of layers, passion and sensitivity in the writing, loved that for Blackfish. In summary, great episode.
