Thread: Is there not a Game of Thrones thread? *SPOILERS*

As far as Jaquen pretending to be Arya, I thought the faceless men could only take the face of someone they had killed? They remove the face of the dead and can use it as a mask....at least that is what I thought.

I know they are setting things up, but man am I getting impatient. I wanted more interaction between Jaime and the Blackfish...and I wanted to see a Frey wandering off by himself....

I thought the same thing at first (that they had to be dead to have their faces used), but then I remembered this weird ass scene: https://youtu.be/ljFljgf2USk?t=111

EDIT: It won't let me embed, but it should take you right to the part I was talking about. I don't think it's a literal mask, but rather some sort of dark magic. With the precedence of the old bait and switch and Arya's strange behavior the day she was stabbed I would be surprised if the payoff for this story wasn't some sort of double or triplecross.

well where would Arya have come up with all that money? It wasn't her.

Did she have money on her when she rolled up to the House of Black and White? I honestly don't recall. She was taught a lot of shit, so being a thief wouldn't be too surprising. I don't think it was her, either.

Alright, check this...


Anyone wonder who Sansa wrote that letter to? It may or may not be obvious.

And here is a theory on Arya's situation. What if this whole time, we viewers, have been shown an internal battle that Arya is having with her new intended persona? What if the Waif is the new Arya, trying to rid herself from the old Arya? For example, when Arya was blind and the waif was whopping her ass in public, nobody really reacted or responded to them fighting. When Arya was stabbed and wondering the market, bleeding all over herself, people only walked by and looked at her with disturbed looks as if she didn't belong and not as a child that needed medical attention.

I doubt anyone of us believe Arya can beat the Many Face Folk all on her own. But, if we've only been witnessing an internal battle between herself and her Many Face Self, well... this will allow for the old Arya to die like she's supposed to.

P.S. I cannot take credit for that theory. But its a good one if you ask me.

hmmm


We know who sansa wrote the letter. It is one of my favorite characters.

I used to like him, but man his brilliance has made me hate him.

Weekly rewatch: We have to put up with the High Sparrow and that shitty storyline for two and a half seasons and Ian McShane gets two scenes.

**** off George.

How do you not like that storyline?

It's awful. Nothing ever happens. It took two seasons for Lady Tyrell to walk across the castle and tell Cersei how stupid she is. And what's the end game? To show Tommen is weak? Well, we did that about 15 episodes ago. That the Lannisters are headless now that Tywin is dead? 17 episodes. It's a waste of time.

Unless they do something like have the High Sparrow win the throne in the end, I also hate the story line. Considering the Kings and great warriors that have been killed off in that show, they can't take that guy out? Come on.

It feels like a placeholder until other events unfold and other parties, namely Daenyrys, show up in King's Landing. Which also leads to a rather bland conquer by whoever shows up.

It's not about killing him. It's about how killing him will start a riot and through the kingdom into unrest, and how Cersei overplayed her hand and started the ultimate demise of the Lannister family. The storyline allows for a lot of things to set themselves up, such as giving others a shot at a weak king.
