Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Everything that is Arya was in the plot line with the troupe. That's her core ~ didn't find that shitty writing at all.
What did you want, Rocky montages of her training in the street as a cat?

Yes. That's what I wanted. Anyone who read my first two posts on the subject would know that montages were what I was asking for.
Fuck's sake.
My buddy was pissed because the closed captions "spoiled" that it was Jorah.
They had two seasons to do anything, anything at all. At tne end of Season 5, she had learned to face change and killed Meryn Trant. So what was even the point of last season? She grew neither as a person nor as an assassin.
After what they saw in Hardhome it's really no surprise they would distrust anything or anyone arriving to the wall.

Haven't seen that one. Can you lay it on me? I loves me some tinfoil...
Jaqen H'gar asks Arya if she is no one and she says a girl is Arya Stark.
The Waif killed Arya.
It's the only way any of the House of Black and White stuff makes sense.

No way in hell they do that on the tv show.
The entire Black and White storyline is about Arya learning how to be no one, to win the game of faces, to convince people that she has completely lost her identity.
"Arya" puts the sword to Jaqen's chest. At first he is threatened, but then smiles as if to say "You are ready."
Otherwise, what is the point? That the two are friends and Jaqen is happy to see Arya go home? What does he care? Kill him.

I like it. I don't buy it, but I like it!
Oh, I agree and would absolutely love it. But D&D don't have the gumption to attempt such a thing, IMO.
Probably hold the door.

The waifs face was hanging in the hall. I dont think you can fake the faces
The waif would have no reason to pick up arya revenge.
That's why it's a tinfoil. Of course it didn't happen. But wouldn't you rather imagine that than to imagine that Arya Stark escaped Braavos, murdered the entire Frey family, and is now just going to disguise-murder people until someone murders her?
People on a bent of cold-blooded revenge are usually doomed in most fiction.
I like where Jon vs Sansa tension is going in the north.
The whole fake-Arya thing in the books is dumb anyway.

I remember something else that I was looking forward to but never came, instead we got a dumb, petty story D&D wrote just to mock some critic.
Maise is like 5'1" and Sophie is 5'9" not that it matters seeing as I'm sure Walder was taller too..
David Bradley is 5'11
I didn't realize that
"My lord, you're almost a foot smaller this evening.
"Not where it counts, huh?"
*grab ass*
I don't think size and height matters. That changes with the glamor, like we saw with Walder Frey - that is, she appears the appropriate size to whoever is looking at her.
I'm thinking she gets Ilyn Payne next in order to get close to Cersei. Or Qyburn, so she can order Robert Strong to choke a bitch (I wonder if that would even work).

Looking at that scene again, it looks like she stepped down a step after removing the face? Maybe I'm just crazy.
I mean, the face-stealing is magic, right? Yeah, you need their actual face, but it's not just wearing a mask. I'd attribute voice changery to it, and some height readjustment isn't too far-fetched.
I think that was just the podium. For example, I would have to rewatch the scene, but I'm pretty sure the serving maid's face she wore when she slew Walder was taller than Arya. She looked taller in the scene where Bronn and Jaime were considering her.

So uh... isn't there a contingency for the Wall meeting the sea? That seems like a massive oversight, Bran the Builder.
I enjoyed the ep. Slow burn, but enjoyable. Caked with dread.

She discovered for herself what she felt was worth fighting for. Everything else for her we're just tools. There was never any depth or purpose to Jaquen's role other than that: he's a tool. His leaning, his gods meaning, was just the flavor added to allow arya an interesting mosaic to play it, but to not worth looking into any more meaning than allowing her to develop the skills she needs. The waif was an obstacle and the troupe was her morality play. It was tight focused and interesting because of the broader lore we got to witness, but I wouldn't ask for anything more from her schooling
i mean the whole wall thing is moot if you can sail around. I assumed white walkers have some weakness or aversion to large water bodies.
Technically it didn't, but it still came directly from GRRM.
Is it clever to have tension between Jon and Sansa?
All library's used to have books chained to the walls like that to stop people stealing them back in the day. For example
The loose ones made no sense atall, but hey plots got to move on somehow.
Yeah I guess that makes sense back in the day when you couldn't mass-produce extra copies of books. If I spent a month hand-writing a copy of the first Harry Potter book I'd chain it to the shelf, too.

is there a termination fee though? i could just sign up for it, wait for Thrones to be over, and then cancel it?
I only want it to watch this show lol HBO does have great stuff but Thrones is my favorite TV show now so I'd only subscribe to watch that. I'm also really broke so it's not worth it to me to have it year round.
Yeah I'm not down for pirating the show. Although I heard a couple of years ago that this is the most pirated show of all time. So it's just $15/month? Simple as that?
Oh wait, there are free trials? So is it possible I could go this year without paying at all?
I don't think I've used it though. What can I do?

The preview seems to make it clear it's high octane from here on out. I enjoyed the slow burn episode, lots of tangible dread.

The white walkers are a creation of the Children of the Forest.
Jon's going to make more white walkers with Dragonstone's cache of dragon glass!

There's no termination fee. If you cancel it lasts until the end of the last monthly period you paid for and then your access ends.
Don't feel bad for just paying for a month or two, you don't owe corporations shit. Pay for it until you're done watching and then cancel it.
And yeah if you have the free trial available to you then do it.
