Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 3: Oathbreaker

[SSU]

This show really is amazing. In one minute I felt sadness and anger (DON"T YOU DARE TOUCH RICKON) and the next I feel happiness and joy with Jon's badass exit and Olly's death stare.

I think Olly was used as a perspective developer for Jon. Even the ones you thought were closest to you can betray you, even when you believe that you did the right thing. Jon is a changed man, and I believe that his outlook on life (and death) has been affected.

The trailer for next week:



To be honest at first glance this seems to become the least exciting episode so far. The only thing I'm curious about is the reaction of the Vale.

Also is there someone who knows what happened to Bronn? He kinda disappeared somewhere between Myrcella's departure and the coup in Dorne. Did he stay there or did the come back with Jaimie?

Kinda looks like to me Sansa has made it to the Wall. Hopefully Jon will still be there. Can we please have the Stark children meet each other again.

To be honest I'm fearing for it. Then again what's Sansa supposed to do there without Jon? And I'm not really sure where Jon would have been gone off to as he still needs some kind of plan. We know that we're going back to the Vale next episode and that in the season's trailers there were images of Sansa that conform quite well with what Littlefinger envisioned in the books, namely exposing Sansa to everyone in the Vale while wearing an outfit worthy of a queen in the colors and themes of her house. Now I don't see Sansa returning back to the Vale that fast, but that they are going to use Littlefinger's vision somewhere else, is plausible.


I'm also starting to think we're only going to see what happened at the Tower of Joy somewhere at the end of the season as they seem to be building it up: last week we saw a young Lyanna Stark; this week we saw a part of what happened at the Tower of Joy and Howland Reed got introduced; Jon has been resurrected... It really gives the impression they are going to give us bits and pieces each week to only see the full picture at the end of the season. I mean they found it worthwhile to specifically mention who he is and he is currently the only one alive who knows the truth. I'm guessing, or at least hoping, that we're going to see other flash-backs of Lyanna's past like how she got "kidnapped" by Rhaegar, how Robert and Rhaeger met her etc. and that eventually Howland will appear before Jon explaining his legacy at the same time Brandon finds it out through his powers.

It's kind an unusual situation as in reality she might be the most important character in the entire series, but we don't know much about her. I'm especially curious to see which actress is going to play her as an adult, if we're going to see her as an adult that is.

 

[Stark]

it was a pretty awesome episode. made me mis geoferry tho. he wouldn't have stood for the high sparrows crap. there would have been a bloodbath in that chamber

Yeah he would have gotten himself and his kingsguard killed long ago by now.

Rickon ;( and shaggydog ;(

I know, hopefully that the Umbers are deceiving the Boltons and that's some random wolfs head.

A girl got that vision back tho

A girl was most impressive.

Spoiler

Omg they killed Shaggy Dog I hope Rickon and Osha aren't the ones flayed and burning from the trailers. I don't think I could take it

but without Rickon and Bran still missing, that really does make Sansa queen in the north tho :Sparks:

The Tower of Joy fight was choreographed great imo. yeah it was different from the books (Arthur Dayne not having his house sword, only 2 kingsguard there) but I loved the dialouge in it. it was a good nod to the books with the whole "I looked for you....." talk and "now it begins" "no, now it ends".

however, I am beyond pissed we didn't get Lyanna. idk why I was dumb enough to expect it[

Jon.....his watch has ended. Olly face was the greatest part of the ep

Arya....meh idc for her storyline

edit: I completely forgot about Kings Landing lmfao nothing interesting there so far

Sansa is the eldest living heir at the moment even if Jon was legitimized by Robb in the books a true born still has the strongest claim, but Rickon is clearly living and Bran is as well. As of right now she is the symbol of House Stark and the North.

Bran is going through what the entire fan base experiences on a weekly basis. When Ned started climbing the stairs and then the scene changed, i was like

OLLY IS FINALLY DEAD, YES. Although I would have preferred a more brutal way, but I'll take it.

Tormund killed me with the pecker line

Sansa and Brienne will arrive just in time Jon leaves I feel like. No Stark reunion yet again

This season is probably going to be my favourite from the looks of it, only 3 episodes and it's amazing already.

I hope Jon and Sansa don't miss each other, that would be such a great scene. Also to Valyrian steel blade wielders together, God knows how many centuries it's been.

Rickon and Osha look awfully calm, suspicious.

Umbers are possibly deceiving the Boltons, pretty bold to risk Rickon though so I'm not sure.

Meh episode.
Useless see sea convo.


Rickon's gonno get skinned soon.

If he does I don't know if I could take anymore Stark deaths, especially the torture of Rickon.

Those backstabbing Umbers :devil: In the books they are portrayed as one of the most loyal and awesome houses in the North and that the only reason they obeyed the Boltons, was because Walder Frey still held their clan head hostage since the Red Wedding. We haven't seen Rickon for quite a while now and now suddenly he ends up into the hands of Ramsey and Shaggydog is dead =/

Then again this all might be a complete rouse. In the books house Manderly openly shows loyalty towards the Boltons, but is in secret conspiring against them in favor of the Starks. One of their plans was even to get Rickon who was on Skagos. I always liked that plotline as Skagos is some kind of a dark, remote corner of the North and Westeros, but they replaced that with the Umbers, which makes it indeed possible that this is all a trap and that wolf's head can be from any wolf. Either way I figured that it wouldn't be as easy that the Umbers would go against Ramsey as in the season's trailers you could clearly see Bolton men fighting.

The fight at the Tower of Joy was amazing! One of the best fighting choreographs in the series. It kinda blows though that they stopped right before the moment we have all been eagerly waiting for.

I love these Small Council scenes because their body language is amazing. In one of the previous seasons there was a similar meeting. When Littlefinger, Pycelle and Varys walked in, they silently fought for the seat closest to Tywin. After that Cersei walked in and just simply took a chair and placed it on the other side of the table close to her father. Tyrion then also took a chair, but placed at the spot the furthest away from his father: the other head of the table. All if this was done non-verbally, which is why I liked that scene so much as it clearly showed the power struggle and tension between characters, but without saying a word.

I'm still wondering about Olly though. Many people wanted to see him die, but I was more curious about what his purpose now was in the story. He doesn't appear in the books and the only thing he now did was betraying Jon and then being hanged for it alongside the other conspirators.



I don't think you need to ponder too much about the Bran thing as he did exactly what he did in the books and in the books it was clearly stated that you can't influence the past and that your words at best sound like the wind howling or something similar. This is also what the Three-Eyed Raven said in this episode. The difference is that in the books Bran tried that when he was watching his father sitting under the weirwood tree in Winterfell, not at the Tower of Joy. You can expect a lot of things in this series, but messing with the flow of time ain't one of them.

The books and the show have massive and minuscule differences so who knows what that meant, but those Umbers really pissed me off if they turned to the Boltons. A lot are saying that it could be deception but I think it's rather bold risking Rickon like they are doing, plus I believe the Umber banners were next to the Boltons for the battle of Winterfell against Jon and the wildings so unless they pull some double turncoat and send a raven to castle black and inform them of their intentions to betray them it would be pretty wild. The Umbers suddenly turning their backs to the wildlings and ridding down the Boltons, I'd enjoy that very much.

Awesome episode. Why they ruin that battle it was 7 against 3 not 6 against 2 I dont understand why they change that small fact.. I doubt Ser Arthur Dayne is that good,him fighting with 2 swords is debetable also. But fight was great actually.

I love hove Ser Kevan Lannister sh1t on Cersei.

Lol imagine Joffrey instead of Tommen he woulod be screaming " Kill them all ".

Arya would become serious killer.

I think Jon Snow would lead wildlings against Boltons.Too bad he is done with night watch I hope they will still show us what is happening there.

The book and the show have many differences, apparently they replaced a kingsguard with a sword but they made Ser Arthur Dayne duel wield only to show his skill. Plus one couldn't possibly repel so many blades with one sword, it's impossible. & yeah Kevan doing what he did was rather entertaining, almost as much as Pycelle noticing Clegane heard what he said.

This show really is amazing. In one minute I felt sadness and anger (DON"T YOU DARE TOUCH RICKON) and the next I feel happiness and joy with Jon's badass exit and Olly's death stare.

Best show on television.

Now that i think about it again, the umbers is really siding with the Boltons
this is the casting call for SmallJon Umber

Lord of Noble Northern House: (Casting age anywhere between 25-50) The lord is a savage warrior, and he rules a distinguished house in the very far North, and the role is said to be an impactful one. He’s described as a massive bear of a man with a beard and temper to match, and hatred that run deep, and he can be violent. The show’s looking for someone with a powerful physique who can tower over other cast members, a Northern English Accent and specifies he has to be at least 180 cm tall. The role will be on 2 episodes.

And there is also the spoiler for episode 9

Well as I said it's possible that the Umber's have taken on the role of the Manderly's in the book. They fought alongside the Boltons because they didn't have much choice, but Martin clearly described that they were conspiring against them. The reason why I think that, outside that it's a rather common occurrence in the series that such switches happen, is that in the books Davos is trying to get Manderly support Stannis. Manderly's demand was that Davos then should get their lord, Rickon Stark, from Skagos.

Jon needs all the support he can get after all as how is he supposed to beat Bolton's army with his wildlings? The latter are really no match for a well trained army, that became painfully obvious when Stannis decimated Mance Rayder's army despite the fact that the Wildlings had far superior numbers.
