Game Of Thrones Season 6 Episode 7 Review
The Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 7 had been released and it has created quite a stir among the viewers. After six episodes of some slow-moving scenes, this episode is fast-paced and intense. The episode titled "The Broken Man" has lived up to the expectations and more. Let's start with the review of the episode.
The Return of Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
The episode starts with a scene where a group of men is being slaughtered by a group of men led by the Hound (Sandor Clegane). The Hound was believed to be dead as his fate was left unknown in the previous season. However, he is seen as a changed man, living a life of a commoner in a small community. His violent past has caught up with him and he is trying to live a life of peace. The community leader, played by Ian McShane, is trying to help him find peace.
The scene is beautifully shot with great attention to detail. Rory McCann, who played the Hound, has done a great job portraying the change his character has gone through. The scene, however, ends with the Hound's idyllic life being destroyed, leaving the viewers with a cliffhanger.
The Rise of the Faith Militant
The Faith Militant has gained a large following, thanks to the High Sparrow's manipulation of the people's faith. This episode shows how powerful they have become. They demand the Crown to surrender their members who have sinned, including Queen Margaery and her brother Loras Tyrell. Cersei Lannister, who has been trying to regain her power, is left with no option but to seek help from her uncle, Kevan Lannister.
The scene shows how much the Faith Militant has grown in strength and it is thrilling to watch. Jonathan Pryce, who played the High Sparrow, has done a fantastic job in portraying the character's manipulative nature.
Arya's Fate
The viewers were left with a cliffhanger in the previous episode where Arya was left bleeding after being attacked by the Waif. This episode shows how Arya has managed to survive and is determined to leave Braavos. However, she is still being hunted by the Waif who is determined to kill her. Arya has no one to turn to and is left with no option but to fight for her life.
The scenes involving Arya are intense and Maisie Williams has done a great job in portraying her character's desperation.
The Siege of Riverrun
Jaime Lannister and the Freys are shown to be laying siege to Riverrun, the stronghold of the Tullys. The Blackfish, who is leading the defense, is determined to hold on to the stronghold. The scene is tense as both sides are trying to outsmart each other. Jaime is forced to make a decision that goes against his principles, which creates an interesting character development.
