Does Arya’s stabbing make any sense? What kind of person is the returned Hound? What up between Varys and Tyrion? What’s up between Jaime and Brienne? What’s Cersei plotting? And what’ll happen in Meereen?

  1. Arya will live or die as a warrior no matter what happens. She won't marry some fancy Lord but she could hook up with someone who gets power. Remember after the great war there's a chance the whole world hits the reset button and people's birth rights mean nothing. The great houses may be led by bastards who fought in the war. After the great war the story might go in a direction where everyone position in life is what they've earned not who they were born to. That would be a great ending making sure people like Joffrey never exist again. Birth right killed the Starks so this would be the ultimate victory.

  2. You seem to complain alot about the series. How about you write your own books, adapt it into a wildly popular series and see if you don't make any mistakes

  3. So are you saying that if you make a mistake and get stabbed there's no way you can survive? It's more realistic to be able to make mistakes and escape serious consequences once in a while. Plenty of times in my life I've screwed up and faced consequences that are much lighter than they could've been. Dude, I love your vids, but sometimes you're overly critical of the creators.

    They way I see it, Arya was wondering if abandoning her training was a huge mistake when The Waif, being sadistic, wasn't trying to kill Arya right away; The Waif had no reason to suspect Arya was a threat, and why wouldn't she prolong the fun? She underestimated Arya, so The Waif made a huge mistake, too. Also, Arya might have believed Jaqen incapable of giving the order to kill her.

  4. well Jaquen's exact words were "finally a girl is no one", who's to say that he didn't mean the dead Waif? You already mentioned that the Waif is way more excited about killing Arya than a Faceless Man is supposed to be; Isn't it possible that Jaquen trained an outsider in their methods precisely to get rid of a fellow Faceless Man who diverted from the "true path" of his order?

  5. 14:05 The waif gives a speech saying Arya can't change the marked name, she can't change the marked name no one can. So this probably meant that only a true no one can challenge death which is why Jaqen smiles. I mean Jaqen uses his own name too and he calls himself no one. When Arya saved Jaqen and the two other caged people, Jaqen knew that she had the potential of challenging death. Idk how to put this in proper words but this makes so much sense.

  6. You called Arya Stark “some kid”? LOL!! She’s a Stark of Winterfell. She can birth Kings. She herself can be a queen. Her name alone has more influence than any faceless man regardless of whoever face they stole. Arya’s bloodline is the strongest bloodline that ever stepped foot into the House of Black and White and the Many Faced God knows this. Arya is more than just no one. I doubt that there are any other high-born faceless assassins.

  7. Just a quick point about the final scene between Jaquen and Arya… as a death cult fanatic, surely her returning to Westeros to kill a load of people would please him? And his telling her that she is now no-one could be taken to mean that she is now strong enough to go out and murder fools

  8. I guess Arya is no longer frightend ( most of all in the dark ) that´s why she is no one … she took a choice to serve the many faced god, or not.(like jaqen said … one way or another a face will be added ..the many faced god don´t cares ) … one of them had to die …and only death can pay for life… to live – the other one must die.
    Varys and Baelish "play their roles" … A Gameplay to make all the others kill themselves … like Lenn the clever … I think…
    Tyrion seems to be the next big player … … it´s a trick a shadow on the wall … and a very small man can cast a very large shadow … sounds like a very big trick.

  9. I guess I just have a different idea behind Jaqen being ok with Arya leaving. In my mind, the Many-Faced god made Jaqen understand that Arya needed to be trained. Jaqen would of course assume that involved typical training. As Jaqen clearly already had a fondness for Arya, he was happy enough to comply. As Arya's training progressed, however, it became clear that something else was going on. She took to her training well, and was even able to safely drink their special water without being harmed…yet she clearly held on to the core of her own identity. That shouldn't have been able to happen, unless the Many-Faced god had a different plan in mind for Arya. Perhaps there were people who needed to die that they weren't going to be hired to kill? Training Arya and releasing her back out into the wild so to speak would be a great way of dealing with this situation. Anyway, Arya defeating the Waif (who had more training than she did) seemingly is the last piece of evidence that Jaqen needs to fully accept that everything is happening according to the Many-Faced god's plan.

  10. I have a theory which explains why Jaqen called Arya no one and let her go while smirking. What if the waif killed Arya in the darkness and wore her face and totally tricked Jaqen into thinking that Arya killed the waif when actually the waif killed Arya. Jaqen would finally accept the waif as no one because for a few moments the waif tricked him and kept her identity secret from even him. The waif would then be a valuable asset as Arya in winterfell for the faceless men and could get a ton of killing done there as a true faceless man.

  11. I think Beric Dondarrion( in the show) has to be important in the future because why would the lord of Light bring him back this often for nothing. In the books i think Lady Stoneheart is up to something important(the Lord of Light only brougth Beric back so he can bring back Catelyn)
