Maybe the most poo poo episode of the season. Arya's interminable training montage is resolved in the most boring way possible, blackfish dies offscreen, cleganebowl is literally outlawed. At least there's class warfare and terrible jokes in Mereen to save us.

Also Varys just got written out of the show, as the plotline that is his entire reason for existence never made the cut.

They need to be more subtle with their 'hints', no one's going to be surprised when Lady Stoneheart shows up but for real this time.

I liked how both the waif and the blackfish died of screen, while we got another Tyrion talks and drinks with two boring characters - that's what this episode really needed.

:wtf: at that last scene. The ninja assassin went completely berserker Terminator.

Arya killing the Waif is the most satisfying thing in awhile though. Too bad D&D won't let her sister kill her stalker.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

This might be one of the lowest lows of the series.

Everything about the Arya plotline, Riverrun resolution, and Dany waltzing into the room from a cheap rear end door is like just Dorne level bullshit

Why is the Waif a Terminator now? Like the mannerisms are completely off-tone.

"You treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
How loving hard could it have been to have Arya snarl, "NOT TODAY" to the servant of the god of death while cutting the candle

I mean that wasn't a great episode, but that one line would have boosted it from a D to a C-

I feel like that line was supposed to be badass but like you literally just negated the last two seasons of your plot why.

This whole episode is a whole lot of "why u do dis."

Oh yeah, and Jaime doubled and tripled down on his adolescent character regression. The only cool thing that happened is that loving finally the mountain killed one of the blackrobes.

Jon: "Beyond the wall I've fought worse"
Sansa: "You don't know Ramsey!"

I'm pretty sure the loving immortal god king of the loving apocalypse is worse than Ramsey loving Bolton you moron but I guess with this show who knows right?

Is it 'Stannis is alive', fake direwolf head and Arya Durden level delusion to think Blackfish might have faked his death? It just seems so anticlimactic, not even showing him walking into certain death.

The show probably would've been much better if they did GRRM's original time hop.

They're desperate to condense the plot and clean up side stories and the execution has been miserable.

We just saw where theories get you with Arya. He's dead, the show isn't clever enough to fake anything anymore.

You maniacs! You blew it up! God damn you! God damn you all to hell!!
I hated aryas storyline since she left the Hound but cutting the candle was a clever move and they didn't beat the audience over the head to explain it. The being fine after stab wounds is still dumb but that part was good so it was only a 99% dumb plot.
