I understand that the seeming lack of continuity in he timelines is jarring (Varys hopping from Dorne to Mereen in one episode was pretty ridiculous), but we really don’t know when any of Arya’s story this past season was happening in relation to the other storylines since she’s had no Westerosi characters to gauge by…

Politics had everything to do with it. He made a powerful enemy in Alliser Thorne early on and later made choices that he felt were right but multiplied his enemies. He tried, and he failed, he said so himself.

I can’t imagine the constant existential horror of being the last of your species. And when he did die, he did so with his leader and the Lord of Winterfell (possibly the Prince Who Was…

I think I finally understand why this show and ASOIAF in general has been so brutal to women: so that when they inevitably take over the world, it will be the most satisfying conclusion ever.
