Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

Also, while I concede that I liked book Arya more than show Arya for the past season or two, I still enjoy TV Arya. She was perfect in season 1, but her storyline has gotten a bit repetitive.

This much I can agree with. I'm guessing you know what is going to happen by the end of Season 4 and Season 5 will finally have her going in a new direction. I'm looking forward to that, actually.

The issue with Arya's storyline for me was that she's basically been mostly travelling since Season Two. Besides her stay at Harrenhal, I can't think of another time where she's stayed in one place.

The constant traveling never bothered me much, but that's mainly because I thought she had good company. I can see why others would grow tire of it, though.

Not to us, no, but to the others. Read the quote by Martin himself that I mentioned - Littlefinger is supposed to be everyone's friend in the book.

I think the key with Littlefinger is that he is everyone's friend - unless he stabs you in the back and you've outstayed your usefulness. You saw how he was with the Vale Lords after his 'trial': friendly and warm. He can be kind when he wants to.

I think I might have preferred it if they cast someone as he was intended in the book - a trustworthy, nice person (a la Varys perhaps?) who surprises people when we find out he's a power hungry bugger.

I'm not sure what book you read, but I would not have considered Littlefinger "trustworthy" at all, even at first. The moment he blames Tyrion for Bran's attempted murder, you know something's up.

I've not read all the books but I trust the author to give an accurate account when he says that Littlefinger is the most different character between series and books for these reasons.

Whether or not the author says that may not be how it is conveyed to fans as the beauty of books is up to each of our personal interpretations. I view Book Littlefinger and Show Littlefinger as the same entity, as I do with many of the characters despite their deviating storylines.

I actually still like Arya's character, I'm in the minority there. I also like her travelling this season with The Hound: besides the first season, I would say this is Ayra's best season in my opinion. She's really developed as a character, and she's done less of her psychopathic list reading which annoyed me in Season Two and Three. For me, Arya was weakest in Season Three. I can't actually remember much of what she did in that season, which isn't a good thing. I know she was with Gendry, met Melisandre and was present for The Hound's fire battle, but... that was about it, from my memory.

Speaking of Gendry, what the smurf happened to Gendry? Was him departing on that boat meant to be his last appearance?

For now, probably.

This is to those people that thought this particular scene was useless (and yes, I know there are several people that actually feel that way).

I thought the beetle scene was the best part of the episode, not counting the actual trial by combat.
If you are looking for a meaning in the story told, you are looking at it wrong. It affirms how in this world of "Might is Right" that Tyrion is a man of compassion and philosophy. Someone who found more value in understanding his cousin's need to kill beetles than the lessons on family legacy his father was teaching. I also like the idea of planting the idea that Tyrion knows the outcome of this battle has nothing to do with the Gods, that they might be killing people for the same pointless reason Orson was killing beetles. (SPOILER)The audience would understand why Jaime would save his brother without it, but I think it is a nice touch to show how tragic a loss it would be to lose someone like Tyrion over a crime he didn't commit. The main point of the scene was a connection between brothers to lay the foundation for Jaime finally risking his life to save Tyrion after he's refused to help so far.

If you thought the scene was distasteful, and that it was nothing more than a crass joke on mentally challenged people, I implore you to stop watching Game of Thrones because your mental capacity is just not equipped for this.

There are nowhere near enough awesome Greyjoy shirts out there.

But I just bought it for myself!

Not at that price though, I scoured the internet for a decent price.

You were going to stiff me? I see how it is.
