Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 3, “Oathbreaker”: GIF Recap

It’s that time of the week again, folks. The WiCnet GIF Recap is fired up and ready to go. We’ve had some fun with the folks at COUB, who’ve been providing us with top-notch GIFs. This week, we’re taking on Episode 603, “Oathbreaker.” Let’s get on with it, shall we?

First up, as Ani mentioned earlier in the week, Jon literally brought sexy back. I hate myself now.

After some stumbling around, Ser Davos wrapped Jon in a warm cloak, and asked him what he remembered. Of course it was Olly.

Then Ser Davos gave Jon tips on housecleaning.

Outside at Castle Black’s yard, the wildlings and remaining Night’s Watchmen seem to have put aside their hatred for each other. It’s amazing what can happen when one hateful man is removed from the equation…and when one other guy who was probably just doing his job gets his brains dashed against a wall by a giant.

Tormand wouldn’t be Tormand if he wasn’t making dick jokes! HAR!

I think I was waiting on this moment more than I was waiting on Jon rising from the dead. Jon and Edd: #Bros4Life

On the stormy seas, Gilly was being a ride-or-die girlfriend. No seriously, Gilly is the best, and Sam is telling her she can’t even chill in a low-rent apartment in Oldtown because blah blah blah…then she does something super sweet and calls Sam the father of her child, even though she was raped by her A-hole of a father. How does Sam respond?

And now we start in on our Tower of Joy GIFs. Usually, I pick and choose the best to throw in here, but this time you will get them all. So sit back and enjoy.

See, here is why I thought this guy was Ser Oswell Whent. In the books, he’s the one sharpening his sword. But, books are books and show is show…I get it, no need to yell at me.

So who talks first? Do I talk first? You talk first.

“And now it begins.” “No, now it ends.”

The actor playing the Whent/Hightower hybrid got a good stab in before going down.

And then it was all about Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, and boy did he live up to the hype.

It came down to young Lord Eddard and Ser Arthur Dayne, a legendary knight of the Kingsguard.

Of course, if it hadn’t been for the intervention of Howland Reed, Ned Stark would have been a goner, and then Bran wouldn’t even be here to complain about how he’d heard the story differently. Think about THAT, Bran.

In Vaes Dothrak, Dany was brought lower than she thought she could get…and yet she still thought her litany of titles would mean something to the crones…they didn’t.

In Meereen, Varys got to work and found the whore who was helping the Sons of the Harpy kill the Unsullied and Second Sons back in Season 5. After some passive-aggressive threats toward her son, the Spider offered her a rather heavy bag of silver and passage on a ship, if she divulged who was pulling the strings behind Meereenese rebellion.

Meanwhile, Tyrion was still delivering amazing one-liners, as is his wont.

Back in King’s Landing, Cersei told Qyburn it was time to put his #Qybirds™ to good use, because she got her groove back, and it’s time for some old fashion Lannister revenge, y’all.

Then Cersei and Jaime, with Frankenmountin in tow, crashed a Small Council meeting, and it sounds like Maester Pycelle shat himself a little.

Let’s check in on Tommen: yep, still a spineless wussy.

In Braavos, Arya fought for her sight.

Who are you?

And now Arya sees with her eyes wide open.

Back in the North, the new Lord Umber had a lot to say to Ramsay, but none of it involved swearing fealty…but I digress.

And then, just when I was beginning to like the new Umber, he brings out Osha and Rickon, and throws a suspiciously small black wolf head on the table to prove that Rickon is in fact a Stark. Yeah, yeah, Art Parkinson said that Shaggydog really was dead, but it’s not like Kit Harington and the cast and crew of Game of Thrones didn’t spend an entire offseason lying to us about Jon Snow’s resurrection.

Finally, Jon faced his murderers, and Ser Alliser Thorne gave a great speech.

And then Jon, who passed the sentence, swung the sword.

After that, there wasn’t much left for Jon to do at the Wall. He handed Edd his cloak, gave him charge of Castle Black, and declared his watch ended.

That’s it for this week’s GIF recap! Tune in next week when we tackle Episode 604, “Book of the Stranger.”
