yep, she going home to kill ....

She's a Stark, she was never ever in a million years going to become no one. Like mentioned, the faceless men was a way for her to get the training she needed to finish her list.

Her being a Stark was 85% my main motivator for wanting her to become a villain tbh. Would have been pretty great to see a Stark as a bad guy, at least for a while.

It's not the lack of significance of the ark I question, it's the way they concluded it. It stunk of writing from a lesser series.

In ep6 she makes the decision not to kill the actress, the last you see of her she retrieves needle and sits in a dark corner with her sword. She knows the faceless men will come for her.

Next episode, she inexplicably parades around in public throwing money around, leaning over a bridge, naive as she was in season 1. What the hell? This episode I was just more annoyed that there wasn't any sort of trickery on her part and she was just being an idiot. The whole point of the braavos arc was to progress her character and the last two episodes took a big fat shit on that.

That and the wasted shit with Tyrion having glasses of wine and what not.

Whole season has reeked of lacking decent source material from the novels.

I mean I guess the swanning around and getting stabbed and spending the night with the actress (at the cost of her life) was just Arya's plan to lure the Waif to that dark room where she kept needle?

Worst arc in the series, glad it's over.

Am I the only one who reckons that Tyrion's accent has become more annoyingly British this season?

Nothing even comes close to Jaime and Bronn in Dorne for worst arc of the series imo

Got no problem with disappointment in the actual story telling, was more in reference to a few posts claiming the faceless men arc was pointless. Whether it was badly executed or not, it did have an important point.

Yeah we all seem to forget that haha.

"You want a taste of this pussy?" etc lol.

Arya's time at the faceless men is not a waste let me assure you.

At least something happened in that.

lol at people assuming Arya's arc is over.

You think she's not really leaving, or what?

Of course she is, but you're assuming the faceless men will be done with her?

All that happened in Dorne was the complete destruction of what could have been a great story and some of, if not the, worst writing in the series. I mean seriously 'You want a good girl, but you need bad pussy'.

Sure, but I'd consider it the end of the arc if she ends her training and goes back to Westeros. She'll have different motives etc when we next see her.

:lol: So bad.

Lease Jamie leaving the Red Keep to go to Riverun meant that we got to see Bronn again :lol:

I think PB summed it up. The show has become a series of key points and scenes from GRRM's notes and the writers are lost.

You mean the pussy or the fighting? :lol:

Even he's starting to look like a stake bottle of piss...which is saying where the show is at atm

"You're shit at dying, do you know that?" So good. :lol:

I'm sure even in seasons past other areas of the show's development such as set designers, costumes/makeup and even the actors themselves profited greatly from GRRM's descriptive writing in the novels to help really flesh out and bring out some of those very qualities in a real life stage or set.

I've said before, I wouldn't be surprised if/when TWoW finally comes out that there are a lot of things done differently to the show.

Do we know how much input GRRM has had directly into these episodes on a ep by ep basis?

-PB

lol roddit;

Jaqen: Congratulations, you got the job.
Arya: I quit.

-PB

reports suggest this is the least involvement he's had in the series...

Prolly too busy writing Dunk and Egg to give a fuck anymore:lol:

I can't wait for the next two episodes to air so everyone can go back to saying that this is one of the best seasons in the show.

Imo it has been one of the best, very strong start and continued for most of the eps until recently but will finish strong again. If you look back on past seasons there is always a dull point where there is filler and some poor writing. For me the biggest let down has been Tyrion and the awkward talks, after he freed the dragons he went down hill due to poor writing.

I reckon this has been one of the best seasons.
