Only bad thing about Littlefinger is the accent

Little finger is a great character but I can't stand the guy's delivery. Takes me out of the scene every time.

That isn't how they did it though. When it was 4v1, they all attacked at the same time and from all sides. Thought it was a good fight scene especially compared to others on the show

Was a good fight scene.

I don't quite get what the girl's deal is who beats up on Arya with the stick. Is she a full-on assassin like Jaqen? She seems shaken when Arya finally blocks her blows, and that's when Arya's still blind. Is she worried Arya can whip her ass now? Is she in still in training and a couple steps ahead of Arya? I don't know her deal.

I think they sorta revealed she is actually Jaqen earlier or might not be completely real. It's really weird.

A girl has no deal

I've always taken her as some manifestation of Jaquen as well.

i thought she was a lower part of the order trying to become like jaquen but not there yet

and she is jealous of arya

This, but I'm also not sure if it isn't 2 people and he can move into either or something and she is less powerful.

If the "Jaquen IS the chick maaaann" theory ends up being correct - and I know this has been proffered before but seriously - how in the **** did he get captured in Westeros again?

This

to be clear, if its anything BUT my explanation i will be very dissatisfied with got

Wasn't there some scene where the weird girl and Arya are playing some grabass/slapwrist game in a room and Jaqen shows up and gets them to stop? This was before Arya was blind, so she's seen them together as two people. I guess Jaqen could have her on some serious psychedelics to get her to hallucinate the shrew, pissy C, but I doubt it. I like how they clearly try to get the viewer to feel Arya's resentment and anger toward the weird girl and, at least in my case, it works. I kept hoping Arya was going to whip out a toothbrush shiv at the end of their sparring and rapid-fire stabbity her in the chest. Wet splat, wet splat, bleeeeed out.

Not this. Seems the best/logical play but that's a weird line to draw in a scifi show, can think of a few ways to satisfyingly play out and I'm not a super talented writer/runner

I assume on purpose. Not sure if it was explained in books or TV.

Should use fewer characters -- 3 against 1 at the outset.

I think this is right. The Faceless Men specialize in killing people who are hard to kill and often go under deep cover to get their targets

Arya is definitely now firmly in the Dany tier of "Couldn't care less how that resolves"

Depends on which way they go with her. If she's just gonna chill in Braavos and kill rando merchants we've never heard of then yeah idc what happens with her arc. I have a feeling she's gonna wind up getting shipped to Westeros to kill someone important though, maybe even a family member.

GoT is still the fastest hour of tv for me. It's trashier than it used to be but it's always been trash, it's like a bunch of fellow throne bros itt are waiting around for episodes directed by chekhov when its best scenes have always been "holy **** you speak ****ing valyerian?!?" As show decays into to pure plot I agree there are fewer good quiet scenes like Arya vs Tywin in Harrenhal, but that stuff was never GoT's wheelhouse.

Thought the Tower of Joy fight was fine, better than average, a zillion times better than shameful sand snake foxtrot. Don't know where in the world you guys got that Arya's rival acolyte might be some mitochlorian yog-sothoth expression of Jaqen but I guess I missed something. To me she's always just seemed like some rival acolyte? Half jealous and half tough love? Looks like dungeon wench version of Lena Dunham? Girls was better last season, I was just about to drop it.

Imo the Stannis = dead side is looking awfully strong. It always made sense: Brienne of Tarth, professional honor fetishest, swung a sword callled oathkeeper and it made a Gallagher melon sound, killing a dude who btw wanted to be killed because he has the same fetish, it was the best sex either of them ever had, way better than guilty sex with vulva mummy. Similar deal with Jojen, sure he's a warg and I guess he could have warged into an ant or an eagle or the ****ing moon, but the dude made his sacrifice and seemed legit dead--bringing those guys back would be dirty pool. As opposed The Hound and Sirio and obv Benjen where it's left intentionally unclear. And ok add Xaro Xothan Xoxooxocatsgame to that but jesus who ****ing cares. For me the worst death was the one-episode life and times of hot wildling wight chick, I misssss her

shameful sand snake foxtrot had me lolling

I'm 99% sure there was a scene where the rival girl turns away or something and it is Jaqen's face.

after she killed that dude and went back to the temple place jaqen and the stick beating girl were there, then jaqen drank a poison to die and the girl turned into jaqen and dead jaqen turned into a bunch of people

I like this theory, and think it is a very logical ending point for arya's storyline.
