This is dumb.

This has bugged me ever since she ran off. The Faceless Men should be smarter than that. But Arya killing ‘death’ does fit nicely and if she gets a knock on her door with an offer she can’t refuse, much will be forgiven.

Shudder.

Well, on the upside, if they do make a series, at I’ll never find myself wishing for the show to be even half as good as the books.

Paramount exec: “Wow, that Quickshivers guy was the best part of those X-Men movies. What can we get the rights to, while this is still hot?”

It’s funny. All the gripes I had with this episode, the choice of who killed the NK wasn’t really an issue for me. I mean, Arya is basically murder-Batman at this point, so it makes sense.

I am really glad for the previews — I read about this possibility last week and was ready for it. After a few minutes I paused it, went “yep, this sucks,” cranked up the brightness on my TV, and was good to go.

It was OK. It had some great moments. The visuals were phenomenal, like usual. The mid-air battle between dragons was everything I was hoping for. Arya sneaking through the library was tense. The screams of the soldiers at the doors to the crypt, begging to be let in, was terrifying, and IMO, the best part of the…

Everybody: “The Night King has us surrounded, what’re we supposed to do, just fly away??”

I totally read that in his voice. Well done.

Plot twist: NOBODY DIES. Because everyone who can possibly hurt the undead are holed up in Winterfell, leaving the rest of Westeros completely undefended. The Night King leaves a token force to keep the good guys locked down and goes gallivanting across the rest of the countryside adding more and more to his undead…

We’re told over and over that the whole “faceless men” thing can’t be used for personal vendetta, i.e., one must have no name and no allegiance to one’s family or friends or whatever in order to attain “faceless man” status. Yet here’s Arya bragging about being a “faceless man” to anyone who’ll listen, after…
