Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 132

Yeah I don't think Arya killed the bartender after the scene with Jaime and Walder. Had to have had her face with her the entire time.

 

Arya's scene also felt like the culmination of her entire character arc since the start of the show. She became a badass and avenged her family... Now what?

 

Who's left on her list?

 

Cersei

 

I think they purposely played up Margaery's role to ultimately make the end result more shocking. The flower note was a red herring. Having it in your mind that she's up to something (which she still surely was, maybe you'll hear it in the books) makes you think that she couldn't possibly just go up in flames without it coming top fruition first.

Idk, it worked on me. I always thought Cersei was going to use the wildfire, but I though there was still one more chess move to be made by Margaery's before it went boom. So the timing still shocked me.

 

and The Mountain, and The Hound still technically if she ever finds out he's alive, and Ser Ilyn Payne too I think.

 

what if Arya is the one to take down The Mountain ha

 

Who's this guy again?

Don't forget Euron on his way to kill his nephew and niece and give Dany his.....you know.

The Red Priestesses. They introduced that random one in Mereen a while back and now that Mel is on the lam, who knows what they'll try. I'm still kinda thinking a team up with the Brotherhood.

The Night King gearing to eff shit up.

 

Ned Stark's BFF and the guy who killed the double sword guy aka Ser Arthur Dayne.

 

Meera and Jojen's dad, he was the one who stabbed ser Arthur Dayne in the back of the neck during Bran's Tower of Joy flashback, he's currently the only person alive(besides Bran) that knows the truth about Jon.

 

Thanks everyone!

Sidenote but The Leftovers use of the piano version of "Where is My Mind?" by The Pixies is amazing.

 

Mr Robot's use of the piano version of that song is better.

 

Ahh I need to still finish it.

[EDIT]: Is this not the same version?

 

False.

 

Hey! He's an inch taller than me!

Also Sophie Turner is 5'9, so..

 

Just remembered Arya and Nymeria are both in the riverlands now so they should be reunited next season. Yay.

 

The Incomparable Podcast on the episode brought up some interesting points on this. The scene before the Sept blows up, the High Sparrow says something along the lines of the Warrior dealing with transgressors violently whereas the mother has compassion. At this same moment we see Cersei, supposedly a mother, putting on her Queen outfit, which looks more like a Warrior's outfit than a Mother's. Now I don't know if she expected Tommen to kill himself or she had some other plan where she was just going to take over because she "won" the Throne, but it doesn't seem she had planned on Tommen sitting the Iron Throne anymore, whichever way it went.

 

Has anyone deciphered with Ned's sister said to him in the flashback?

 

It was something along the lines of, "Robert can't know. He'd kill him"

 

Its like they're just making rules up with Arya as they go and figuring people will explain it away with ridiculous fan theories.

The story for Arya should be so compelling and satisfying to execute but they've botched it for the past few seasons.

 

I think you're all missing the fact that the person doesn't have to be dead for their face to be used.

 

this is literally the exact opposite of what the show told us, so no one is missing a fact but you

 

Jaqen wears the Waifs face while she's still alive? And Arya's face while she's literally facing him?

 

Two seasons of training with the faceless men and we never even saw her learning the shapeshifting face magic stuff let alone using it

 

I thought he had special 'powers' and not all of their followers could do that. I remember Jaquen wearing Arya's face for a split second when she was going blind, but that's it. Don't recall him wearing the Waifs. Either way, I was under the impression they had to be dead considering we see them peeling faces off dead people.
