Somebody rewatch the scene with Tyrion trying to feed Grey Worm and Girlfriend of Grey Worm wine, and tell me if I'm insane.

He has a cup of his own wine, walks away from the table, and pours fresh glasses from a seperate bottle for them to drink. He's aggressive and demanding about them drinking. Even though their pitcher isn't empty, he walks to the other side of the room, to a new new pitcher, and refills his glass. He stands here for a moment, and Grey Worm puts his glass on the table. The lighting is very odd here, with the glass of wine under a goddamn spotlight with the way the scene is framed. Tyrion looks at the glass, back at Worm, and appears almost nervous. Watch that scene and tell me we're not meant to wonder if he's trying to poison them.

Not suggesting he is, he appears to have zero motivation for that poo poo, but before you quote this post, just watch the scene for me and keep that in mind. It's weird.

You're insane.

From a few pages back

I thought it was pretty obvious, what with Arya having a sword pointed at his chest, that Jaqen was saying whatever he thought would get Arya to NOT STAB HIM at that moment and buy him some time. Pretty sure he would have murdered her on the spot if she had let her guard down and wanted to rejoin the FM.

I don't think Jaqen thought she would kill him outright or that he would be very bothered if she did. He is certainly far more skilled than she is, and has been been shown to be able to gently caress with her perception.

I think he said what he said because he interpreted her return to the temple to put the face on the wall as a completion of her trial, which she should only be able to do if she's no one. She had already safely drank the water, so he probably thought she was cool.

But really, the Many Faced God doesn't give a gently caress, and she gave him a death and face and I guess that's enough?

I can't believe they didn't show that minor character's futile last stand! I was so invested in what was sure to be a dramatic and uniquely choreographed fight scene! It would have been such a thematically appropriate way to punctuate that static character's arc!

Also, Arya's plotline was a pointless waste of time! She was supposed to use her never-before seen badass assassin moves to beat the waif in a way that pays off the conflict in a tidy satisfying way. Instead, she was forced to improvise some kind of trap in a scrappy underdog way that demonstrated her ability to learn new skills but reinforced her headstrong nature and commitment to her old identity. I also hated getting to know Lady Crane just a little better before she's killed

Somebody rewatch the scene with Tyrion

I didn't rewatch the scene but during it there was definitely some weird poo poo going on with where he was getting his wine and how insistent he was on getting them drunk. You aren't alone in getting that vibe, it just led to nothing so it's almost like they shot for 2 different scenes and made a decision later on with which plot they wanted to go with. Almost like they shot a double scene to either screen to a focus group or throw off some kind of spoiler. Eh.

God drat Tyrion has been trying like hell to ingratiate himself with the rest of the 'council' and the whole thing was a continuing awkward comedy bit. There was nothing underhanded about it. Tyrion ran out of wine, got some more.

Everyone's acting all weird all the time because Grey Worm and Missandrei are all used to the 'wisdom' of some chick who can't be burnt and rides on a motherfucking dragon, freeing slaves and poo poo. Now they got to get used to this guy who does things from a political angle, is more down to earth (heh), and isn't high strung all the loving time.

He just wants them to like him and they don't but they feel like they have to go along with all his poo poo because he's their boss. The Office: Essos. Like, it kind of even felt like there was some improv going on this week with that joke poo poo, like everybody went off book for 15 and then they cut the best bits together. Like, Missandei was acting a little drunk in her delivery for some of the joke but not others and Tyrion was mugging more than usual and poo poo. It seemed fun. I hope they do the commentary for that episode.

"Either way a face will be added to the wall."

I'm pretty sure Jaquen was just reading her and seeing if she was still lying to herself. He's satisfied because his target was killed, a face was added, and he didn't "have" to suffer the girl who saved his life dying.

He didn't order her killing out of malice, he did it out of obligation. Death God rules are pretty easy to figure out by his words. Death comes to everyone eventually; if you cheat death, the balance must be paid and there's only one thing we tell death

Like I'm pretty sure he was certain that she wasn't cut out for this, even when he was giving her the final test; when she asks for a face, he still says that a girl isn't ready, BECAUSE WEARING THEM COULD KILL YOU (", the faces are for no one.... for someone the faces are as good as poison.")

Basically Arya's arc dragged a bit and this episode was a mess, but it had a point and it's not too confusing. She literally took the Syrio stance while figuratively telling the main acolyte of death, "Not today. "

I guess they wanted to have yet another scene showing Tyrion struggling to connect with his new small council?

OAquinas: Jan 27, 2008; Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

So Varys is off to Dorne. Dorne had a pact with him and Illyrio before, so now he wants to see if they are still allies even after Bashir got knifed. Plus, Bad Pussah Resistance +2 (well, I guess it would be -2)

Arya has settled up her account with the MFG and is headed back to the grinder of Westeros. You'd think a perforated bowel would slow her down more, but eh. Also, she freaked at the milk of the poppy because of how it screwed up her dad--remember that Ned spent the last week or two of his life in a drug-induced haze.

Qyburn's rumors are definitely tied to Kings Landing. Cersei has just gotten the news that she's fuuuuucked, so some rumor about Tyrion a world away or Sansa almost as far will hardly help her out. It's either the WF caches, or something more pertinent to the Head Sparrow--consider that she's probably been seeking some dirt or leverage on him desperately since she walked back to the keep.

As for the fleet...well, floating wood boats probably suck against flying fire breathing things--we'll see that next week, probably. Boats apparently can't guard boats.

With endorsements like this it's clear that D&D can do no wrong regards contrivances and plot armour. The show is immune to criticism.

I find it pretty amusing how so many people convinced themselves there was ~real depth~ and cunning behind Arya's apparently brain-dead meandering through the town in broad daylight, talking about how she walked past herself and even how ol' Syrio was involved. In reality D&D took a big dump on everyone's theories and told us that yes - Arya was walking around without a care in the world, got shanked several times but fortunately not in a way that would immediately kill her (I guess she knew the waif wouldn't just slit her throat or something) only to be healed by someone she'd saved, got them killed and then for some reason the show turned into Assassin's Creed.

What has Arya learnt exactly from her time in Bravos? She has her old name, she isn't demonstrably better at anything (luring someone into a trap isn't some elite skill that the Faceless goons have). The entirety of her season 5 arc could've been skipped and her character - motivations, abilities, emotions - would be unchanged.

Maybe it's a narrative issue but I still have trouble believing that Arya is going to be able to accomplish poo poo in terms of assassinations unless she's taken secret Bravosi face magic with her to Westeros.

Besides Cersei, who is left on Arya's list that is still alive? I can't remember if people like Jaime or the Mountain made it on there, nor if Illyn Payne got killed at some point. Now she could certainly start adding names once she gets caught up on the bad things that have happened in Westeros while she was gone, but as far as I recall her only original targets are a woman who may be sentenced to death in the near future anyway and possibly a zombie.
