Second and third episode titles of Game of Thrones season 6 now official 

Here’s a morsel of news this Sunday afternoon: the

episode titles rumored for season 6 last week were confirmed today when they appeared on the official HBO schedule.

The title of April 24th’s season premiere was revealed by HBO itself in advance of the red carpet event, but the second and third episode titles were first posted by GeeklyInc last week.

With the updating of the network’s schedule, it’s now official that season 6, episode 2 will be titled “Home.” The episode, directed by Jeremy Podeswa, will air on May 1st and be 54 minutes long, according to the schedule.

‘ sixth season will be titled “Oathbreaker.” The episode is directed by Daniel Sackheim, and will air on May 8th, with a listed time of 53 minutes.

We’ve speculated before about what these titles could mean when they were rumored. A simple title like “Home” is a powerful theme that can include a great many characters in

who are searching for or looking to return to their homes. “Oathbreaker” is a harsh word, and a word that applies to many people in the novels- notably Jaime and men of the Night’s Watch like Jon Snow and Sam have been called one, or have broken their oaths. Brienne also has long-held oaths that she is still trying to fulfill, and the word ‘oathbreaker’ is the antithesis of her sword’s name ‘Oathkeeper.’  An episode named this may feature characters such as these ones, and the promises and vows they mean to keep.

So far, we have three simple and strong titles for season six!

Not digging these titles. Especially “Home”. It seems like a really lazy title to give to an episode of a show as mindboggling as GoT. Oathbreaker is the best of a bad lot I guess.

Glad to have some definite info. I think home is a little boring, but I agree it’s a powerful theme..

Anyway, they don’t have much ”power” alone, it’s the episode itself that gives it meaning.

As far as the episode titles go…I already discussed how I think “Oathbreaker” is geared towards Jaime (in that other thread), so there’s no need to rehash. I am confused, however, about this notion of “boring” episode titles. Episode titles don’t have to “entertain” you. Hardly anyone even remembers the episode titles (if they knew them to begin with), so the title isn’t actually indicative of the quality of an episode.

I would have liked ” house with the red door ” more than the home..

I wish it makes into an episode title in an later episode

“The Red Woman” refers to the new priestress in Meereen (and we are just meant to assume it’s about Melisandre and Jon).

“Home” refers to Sansa and the quest to regain Winterfell.

“Oathbreaker” refers to Jaime and we will see him killing the Mad King via Bran dream flashback.

Episode titles have multiple meanings, we all know, but I am hoping that 1 and 3 are predominantly about Melissandre and Brienne, respectively. Perhaps 2 is about Daenerys going to the home she is expected to be at. It would be cool to focus on the different women in terms of the titles this season.

dragonbringer: I would have liked ” house with the red door ” more than the home.

I have to wonder if the house with the “red door” is an imbedded false memory referring to the Red Keep in King’s Landing, in stories told to Daenerys by Viserys. Then it should come when she arrives at KL.

95% of the GoT audience couldn’t even tell you what the title of any episode is. People still think the episode is called “The Red Wedding”.

By the way for those who don’t know, they’ve also added the times for episodes 5-7. Episode 5 will be 57 minutes long, episode 6 52 minutes long and episode 7 51 minutes long.

Oathbreaker is the best of the three. I’m especially excited for that episode! Home is a really boring title, but seems like it could be a powerful episode… maybe not action packed but perhaps emotionally. The Red Woman is a bit enigmatic for me… we know Mel has big moments in episode one. I’m sure we’ll be introduced to another red priestess as well, but what they do to earn the title is an intriguing mystery!

And I agree that episode titles is not indicative of the quality of the episode and that we know nothing about what’s going to go down in these episodes. But still, we can estimate. The Red Woman and Oathbreaker are good titles. Home is certainly a good theme but come on… it’s far too general. Any episode of the show could’ve been called Home and you could have come up with a reason for them doing so.

I pretty much assumed no comment was affirmation. I mean, they would immediately deny if they could. But it is good to hear it officially.

I wonder if Oathbreaker is Jon Stark leaving the Nights Watch.

It’s just like names. A few are great and make you go, “Huh, cool name,” but most of the time you don’t really consider if a person is “appropriately named” because you’re too busy having a normal conversation.

Title complaints, if they ever were serious, will evaporate as soon as we’ve got content to care more about.

The Red Woman, Home, And Oath Breaker Hope the next one or two episode titles get leaked, I wonder which episode jon will come back in….

I’m sticking with my long-held belief that JS is resurrected at the end of ep 2. I think the title is boring for a reason 🙂

This time next week, we’ll all be eating lemon cakes and waiting… well that’s what I will be doing anyway!

95% of the GoT audience couldn’t even tell you what the title of any episode is. People still think the episode is called “The Red Wedding”.

Precisely. Although, I’d put your number around 98% of the audience. 😉 Usually, people just go by whatever “big” event happened in any particular episode (i.e. “That episode that White Walker dude made the baby a little White Walker…” “That episode where Ned got beheaded…” Etc). Episode names are important to us because we live and breath this show, but for the casual viewer, they don’t know and probably don’t care what the titles are.

Side note: what would be the significance of Bran going back and seeing Jaime kill the mad King? I mean, who is that for the benefit of? Bran? So he can see that Jaime isn’t all “bad”, or to set up something in Jaime’s immediate storyline? I guess what I’m trying to ask…what do you guys think is the significance of going back and showing that event (if there is one)?

I’ve largely given up on guessing what’s going to come this season, including deciphering episode titles. I’m just so damn happy it’s almost a week away.

I normally look down my regal nose at those that bitch about silly things like episode titles, and yet…”Home” irritates me. It’s too simple and generic, you can find countless other TV shows with that title. The show has done a great job of coming up with memorable titles, for the most part. Something I appreciate given that most other shows don’t particularly bother with.

Oathbreaker though, that’s my jam. More of that please.

Anyway, they don’t have much ”power”alone, it’s the episode itself that gives it meaning.

Well said. My daughter and I are rewatching Lost, and “The Constant” seems like a silly title until you see the episode, which is one of the best ones, IMO, but I may be biased toward this physics-rich episode. After viewing, “The Constant” is a perfect title.

If “Home” shows Snow hearing from Winterfell and Arya returning to Westeros and Theon returning to the Iron Isles, it will be an great title indeed. If “The Red Woman” features Melisandre’s epic twist and Kinvara taunting Tyrion and Varys, I would like that as well. That was Kinvara, right? The hot Israeli?

Oh boy I wish, but who knows. I’m doing some crazy shit if it happens that episode.

Side note: what would be the significance of Bran going back and seeing Jaime kill the mad King? I mean, who is that for the benefit of?

Maybe it would be just part of some glimpses into different times and places, before Bran learns to focus on one special event. Daenerys saw the wall in her vision in season 2 (?) and that also had no real significance for her.

I’m doing some crazy shit if it happens that episode.

By the looks of it, nobody has high expectations out of episode 2 based on the title. I will laugh my head off if Jon comes back then lol. Sansa could make it to CB in episode 2 as well, if that’s the case.

In episode 3 we could get an equivalent of The Pink Letter (“Winterfell is mine, come and see”) that prompts Jon and Sansa to start planning to take down the Boltons. Jon could convince the Wildlings to join them in either episode 3 or 4 and send a bunch of ravens to some houses. Then, everyone leaves CB in episode 5 to go somewhere else (maybe Bear Island).

It’s true it could be resonant, but they could have found a more creative phrasing it beyond just using the word Home!

Man, I’ve already used far more words on this than appropriate (that would have been 0).

All three we know so far can center around multiple story arcs: The Red Woman: I honestly think this is chosen to indeed make us believe it centers around Melisandre and her doings at Castle Black, but it will not only center around her but wil also heavily involve Sansa. The ‘Red Woman’ they actually mean is not the priestess we see in the trailer, but I think the words will be mentioned when Tyrion recalls seeing a red priestess in Volantis, which will ultimately lead to the introduction of the trailer priestess in a later episode.

Home: Could center around Sansa, but I actually think it could be one of the following:

ToJ scene where a certain L asks a certain N to take a certain character ‘Home’ with him or Dany being taken to her new ‘Home’ among the Dosh Khaleen. Or, the release of Rhaegal and Vyserion who will return ‘Home’, the Dothraki Sea where the were born.

Oathbreaker will either feature Brienne accepting she will never get Sansa or Arya to join her which will cause her to go to the Riverlands to break her oath to save the Stark girls OR Jaime breaking his oath in a flashback. Or both, ofcourse.

Ginevra: Well said.My daughter and I are rewatching Lost, and “The Constant” seems like a silly title until you see the episode, which is one of the best ones, IMO, but I may be biased toward this physics-rich episode.After viewing, “The Constant” is a perfect title.

Aryan won’t be anywhere near Westeros in Episode 2.

judging by the trailer. Jon, Davos and Mel will probably still be at castile black by episode 2.

I’ve largely given up on guessing what’s going to come this season, including deciphering episode titles. I’m just so damn happy it’s almost a week away.

“Home” is the title of one of the most disturbing episodes of “The X-Files.” A very simple “boring” name, and yet perfect for it.

I think titles are just interesting in that they can give us a glimpse of possible themes and plots for the episodes. I don’t see the point in really disliking them.

coronaprince: Maybe it would be just part of some glimpses into different times and places, before Bran learns to focus on one special event. Daenerys saw the wall in her vision in season 2 (?) and that also had no real significance for her.

Yet. Tell you the truth, I think the show told us her endgame in that vision at the House of the Undying. We just don’t know it yet.

And yes, you’re right. It could just be a random thing. But I insist on believing in the economy of time principle, and that the show (at this point…with so precious few hours left) wouldn’t include something unless it’s important. That’s why I ask.

Or it’s actually Jaime who’s remembering the event, not Bran. The “Kingslayer” is also an ‘Oathbreaker’.

Definitely. The fighting with the NW will take up episode 1 and I can see the aftermath of that taking place in the next episode.

I believe edd left castle black to get Tormund and the wildlings to help deal with the traitors. They get Jon snow out of castle black, by the end of episode 2 titled Home. that wouldn’t be so bad actually, Castle black was pretty much his home. Jon snow leaving castle black after giving everything for the watch would be a rather tragic end to his time at castle black.

Of course ‘oathbreaker’ is a title which can refer to multiple characters in the GoT-universe. On it’s own not a very special title. What makes it interesting is that season 4 episode which was called ‘oathkeeper.’

If u ask me this must refer most of all to Brienne. She came up with the name ‘oathkeeper’ for her sword and she broke her oath by letting Sansa down in the season 5 finale.

I don’t think it has anything to do with Jon. Jon is kinda released from his night’s watch oaths at this point right? 😛

I like Oathbreaker, especially since we had Oathkeeper before. Home I’m not so sure… I’ll have to see the episode to decide if it fits. But tbh, titles aren’t that important.

True. I just hope Sansa makes it there in time. I want my Stark reunion lol

Huh? Brienne isn’t trying to get them to “join her”, she’s out to serve them. If they ultimately reject her service, she’s basically released from that obligation, not an oathbreaker — you could argue, even, that as of 502 her oath really isn’t binding, and she’s pressing on more out of a desire to carry it out anyway.

As far as episode titles go, they’re interesting to speculate about, though I agree that some fans tend to get too worked up. Particularly since, given the nature of this show’s narrative structure, I tend to think more about individual storylines (whether within an episode or over a season or span of episodes) than whole episodes — other than ones set in a single area, obviously.

“Home” will probably see Theon decide to head back to the Iron Islands, whatever his motivation for doing so.

If u ask me this must refer most of all to Brienne. She came up with the name ‘oathkeeper’ for her sword and she broke her oath by letting Sansa down in the season 5 finale.

Actually, Brienne’s oath to Catelyn in the show had a Stannis-related exemption clause, so she’s in the clear there.

Yes, and in addition, there was that clip showing

the Dothraki saying “welcome home” to Dany as she enters Vaes Dothrak

so I think this would fit in to the ‘Home’ episode as well.

Re: Arya, maybe she tries to make the HOBAW her home? Or has a wolf dream of her real home? Not sure if she’s even in the ep.

hopefully she’s not meeting a corpse, and Davos decides to leave with her.

Very true. There is something to be said for titles just being cool in and themselves though. Star Trek was good for that. “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky”.

Agreed. Apart from content associations, “The Red Woman” is also a simple title and yet we should be so lucky

Guess Ania Bukstein / Melanie Liburd will do just fine

As others, I’m not so sure all of those titles can be traced to one specific person or event.

For instance, I think “The Red Woman” may refer both to Melisandre and to the new red priestess, and both will feature in the first episode.

Same could be true for “Home” and “Oathbreaker”: Home could refer to Theon going home to the Iron Islands, Euron going back there after a long absence, Dany arriving in Vaes Dothrak, Bran going to Winterfell in a Vision etc. (all at the same time), while Oathbreaker could refer to Brienne, Jaime AND Jon.

I’m not going to complain about these titles, but for serious/hardcore fans of GoT like most that spend a lot of time around here they do have significance and importance. That’s why we’ve always discussed the titles and meanings, how they tie to the story. I/we refer to past episodes, rate them, etc. by the titles. We don’t say “the one with…” like we’re talking about

episodes. Beyond that it doesn’t make a difference.

Most of the episode titles lock on to at least one thing in the books, many times creatively and semi-specifically, such as “The Rains of Castemere,” “The Pointy End,” and “The Dance of Dragons.” So yeah, “Home” is rather broad and doesn’t pull anything unique from the story.

Alright, this confirms how cringeworthy the TOJ dialogue will be on screen if not altered. Not even pro actors would do a good job with it. The lines are some premium cheese.

In episode 3 we could get a substitute for Lady Stoneheart making Brienne choose sword.

In the trailer Brienne is seen with Tully flags in the background so it’s safe to assume she is in Riverrun. So maybe she will be the one negotiate with (or more just try to reason with) Brynden Tully before Jaime arrives to Riverrun. Brienne tells him how they are out nubered and suggest him to give up and so Brynden will assume she has switched sides and accuse her of breaking her oath to Catelyn. Brienne will try to explain herself but Brynden won’t believe her and order her to kill Jaime to prove loyalty.

Exactly. I have rarely found the titles of episodes to be indicative of the episode’s quality. “Hardhome” is a prime example.

I’m sticking with my long-held belief that JS is resurrected at the end of ep 2. I think the title is boring for a reason

This time next week, we’ll all be eating lemon cakes and waiting… well that’s what I will be doing anyway!

would be nice if it happens then but I still think its going to happen in episode 3-6, its really hard to predict.

for a fan made film, it was well done. not including the dialogue.

I’ve always been indifferent to episode titles, as it doesn’t add or subtract anything from the show imo… but I do like the sounds of “Oathbreaker”. Maybe we’ll see Walder Frey in that episode, among other things of course…?

I believe that’s the one event people can’t really predict when it will happen. But I can’t be to late, since he is involved in a certain event.

Jon wakes in episode 1 or 2 and leaves the nights watch in episode 3 making him an “Oathbreaker” ….I don’t think Sansa will go to Castle Black, I think she will go somewhere else and will only meet Jon at Bastardbowl. Jon will send Davos to convince other Northern houses to join the battle and that is when he will meet Sansa and convince her to come along for the battle. Maybe she will be at the Vale or at some other stark friendly destination before meeting up with jon on the battle field.

What sounds good on paper can sound beyond stupid on TV.

Alas, some hardcore ”fans” will never understand this.

Like Wimsey put it it. They are fanatics, they know every single word but fail to understand the meaning behind them.

“Home” is the title of one of the most disturbing episodes of “The X-Files.” A very simple “boring” name, and yet perfect for it.

I think titles are just interesting in that they can give us a glimpse of possible themes and plots for the episodes. I don’t see the point in really disliking them.

That’s the one with the Peacock family right? I remember watching that for the first time on Netflix and it was really disturbing but also really great. One of my favourite episodes of the X-Files. Also my last name is Peacock too so that’s pretty funny lol.

I’m in agreement with a lot of others who fails to understand all the moaning about episode titles. They’re nice, but it’s what happens in the episode that decides whether I think an episode is great or not. A fantastic title means nothing if the episode is crap. Having said that I do like “Oathbreaker” as a title”, as it parallels well with “Oathkeeper”, but the important thing is that the episodes themselves are good.

I don’t mind the episode titles as long as they’re good episodes, that’s all I care about.

The dialogue as written in the book would be so out of place on GOT. It’s even out of place in the book. But I chalk that up to it being Ned’s feverish dream so it’s likely not how the convo went down. ‘Woe to the usurper if we had been’ and all the rest are some high fantasy cheese. I don’t understand how there are so many book readers loving the lines.

Jon Definitely won’t be back in episode 1, Episode two I also highly doubt. 3 ? could be, maybe.

but who knows how long they will keep jon down for, to bad we didn’t get spoilers on his resurrection episode XD

People like them precisely because they’re elevated. It’s a fever dream meant to be poetic, like the old chivalric tales.

Ep.2: Jon Snow lives and says: “screw you guys, I’m going home” in Cartman’s voice.

Since noone knows why Jaime really killed the Mad King, does that mean that the wildfire bombs are still there rigged to blow everything up? Or did the pyromancers secretly defuse them all?

*crawls into fetal position and sucks thumb*

Book readers have been obsessed with the tower of joy dream for a long time, re reading the event, imaging how everything went down, picturing the words martin wrote down himself. Fans can sometimes be to attached to things they’ve spent to much time theorizing about, they get a certain picture in their heads and sometimes can’t imagine it going any other way. well that’s how I see it.

I doubt they’ll keep him a corpse for half a season.
