It really is so strange how they've sidelined the direwolves. I wonder if they just want to leave all of that to the books, which I'm assuming will be the mechanism for Jon's POV until he is brought back if GRRM ever finishes. Plus, is Ghost jealous that Jon has a dragon now too?
Heard a great comparison on a podcast about The Simpsons' McBain factor a lot of these character's have, essentially that when you start to plan your happily ever after, you're as good as dead. Or when you've reached an endpoint to your arc. Fits so many characters: Theon, Tormund, Brienne, Pod, Grey Worm, Gendry, Jorah, Beric, Edd, Sam, Bran, even Jaime, Tyrion and Sansa. Man, this week is going to be a bloodbath.
Really, who still has unfinished business on the show? Jon and Dany obviously. The Hound. Maybe Davos and Melisandre? Arya and Cersei? Tyrion, Jaime and Cersei? I guess Yara and Euron?
Speaking of, what did we make of that little kid with greyscale who wants to defend the Crypt? Could THAT be Melisandre in disguise?
I'm starting to wonder now, will we see any of our heroes die and come back as wights? That might make for a REALLY interesting last few episodes and could also help them finish out their contracts.
Take care all.
That's the point, though. She failed in her training as a Faceless Man because she couldn't become no one. She couldn't let go of her family, or Needle, or her list.
Though it probably just came across that the Waif wanted to kill her because she's a psycho rather than her failure to let go. Braavos was the worst written part of the show. Maybe excluding Dorne.
Yeah, I just don't get how she can fail to become no one and fail her training when in reality she's seemingly got all the perks with none of the drawbacks. Doesn't sound like failure. But I get what you mean.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Perhaps it's like saying you have all the martial arts skills of a Shaolin monk and can easily destroy someone in a fistfight, but you don't buy into the important concept of buddhism itself. Instead of believing in peace and only using these skills for self-defence, you wander around wrecking everyone on your hitlist.
Admittedly the Faceless Men do not believe in inner peace but the analogy is that it is a deeply religious organisation. Arya isn't part of their order nor does she subscribe to their beliefs, even if she has their skills.
Yeah, all the pros and none of the cons. Well, for Arya, at least.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
The soundtrack with all the random artists is out. Here's The weeknd, Tavis Scott, and SZA's song Power is Power
Here's the whole playlist on spotify. Artist's like Florence's rendition of Jenny of Oldstone, Ellie Goulding, X Ambassadors, Lumineers, and Maren Morris (I'm keen on her song Kingdom of One)
