If Arya's scene involving The Waif is to be taken at face value, then it is an incredible waste of story-line and character arc. All that surviving, before even making it to train with The Faceless Men… and her guard is completely down when a random stranger appears out of the darkness, when Jaqen had flat-out told…

Yeah, I hear ya… meant to add a rant about the shitty Star Wars blu ray, but had to cut it short.

Lets just hope we get a director's cut option on blu-ray, then we can see what the differences are.

But… aren't all remakes derided pre-release by commenters at film sites? I mean, how many times have I read "Another fucking remake???" or "Has Hollywood so completely run out of ideas that they have to remake x???" or "Stop the fucking remakes already!!!"?

Finding herself? She's always been a vengeful yet moraled character, no? Wasn't she even reigning in the Hound a bit before he 'died'?

I really hope these theories become reality… cause Jaqen and the assassin storyline would be a bit of a waste if not.

Plenty of time with her doing next to nothing, though.

Is there history with The Mountain? Or just that he's the biggest/baddest dude to go after (like they say to do when you go to prison, haha).

But does his hatred of his brother outweigh the fact of who he'd be 'fighting for'?

I see your point, and agree… but this is GoT, my friend! All men must die (horrible, painful, disgusting deaths)!!!

What did she learn, exactly? I was hoping she'd get the face-swapping power to really go to town on her enemies.

I tried to headcannon it that way, and I get he even said it himself afterwords… but the actor played 'wimpy, sniveling, timid' instead of 'confident, angry, but holding back his emotions to save his family'

Probably because he wasn't a highborn 'lord', had a shitty childhood suffering at the hands of his giant, demented brother, and managed to carve out a halfway decent life for himself while showing compassion to both Sansa and Arya.

Another great episode… this season is so much better than the last!

I appreciate the reasoned response. I just can't get beyond Clinton's scandals and this one simple issue:

"Some Hipster Bandwagon"

I think you got it. From what I recall, people said that Cohle's monologues on existential issues were almost copy-pasted from Ligotti and maybe one other similar writer.

Because voting for Hillary shows what a paradigm of intelligence you are? Seeing as she's done such an exemplary job in her previous political posts? Because she's never (constantly) lied to our faces to save her own ass?

You've clearly never walked past a fence with a Chihuahua behind it. THOSE little fucks are 15lbs of shit in a 10lb sack.

So many Trump jokes… still waiting for the horde of Hillary/Cercei comparisons.
