I was mentally yelling at her, "IN HIS PRETTY FACE DAMMIT, IT'LL STICK THAT WAY."
i find it hard to celebrate her education.
I was actually bored by the stabby, it was a lot more invigorating in the books. Also, as this is fiction, I'm less inclined to be moralistic here.
oh god Rob's body/head thing might have been more traumatising than the damn red wedding.
OTM, but IMO this was a LOT more disturbing in the book, at least how I pictured it.

agree

am i taking a tone? fwiw i certainly don't see this as a question of right or wrong, just its sad bc if things had been different she might have been a girl.

I'm trying to avoid getting too much farther into the books, but there's a thread in teh fandoms about how Arya's storyline isn't COOL BUTTKICKING GIRL GETTING HER BUTTKICKING ON, no, she's the child soldier whose psyche has been horribly distorted by the violence she inhabits, that your aside references, but I want to revel in the former without complications! And my out is that it's a story, and I can happily wallow in my shallowness.
― Ou sont les Sonneywolferines d'antan? (Leee), Tuesday, 11 June 2013 05:38 (eleven years ago) link
I would say Arya's arc is going to be a tragedy but if the alternative is her following Sansa's route then idk. Westeros just seems a shitter for all involved.

Eh don't mind me, I'm just airing some percolating stuff to avoid finishing a review for something else right now.

roose bolton is gleefully evil, i loved his little scene w/walder. barely concealed contempt, humoring the old psycho, pretty pleased with himself overall.
glad the direwolf head/stark body thing was in the show.

this was a satisfactory closer/prelude but i did miss a bit of littlefinger craftiness somewhat
as epically cringe as the daenerys scene was this show knows damn well they can get away with anything if it ends with a dragon flying @ u face screeching
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 14:21 (eleven years ago) link
In that case I am glad they didn't try to get away with a whole penis chopping off scene because that technique would have made the experience even more horrifying and also confusing.

Got to have the dungeons, if you want the dragons. GRRM, he doesn't make the rules.

The rise and rise of Daenerys has been a bit too much of a walkover for me
Weird how no one has bothered to even be particular suspicious of that grey haired dude who just turned up and started hanging out with them and has so far played no discernable plot function.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 15:12 (eleven years ago) link
Barristan Selmy? That's probably got something to do with his being pitched as a legendary ideal of nobility and heroism unfairly cast aside by King Cnut.
― Windsor Davies, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 15:53 (eleven years ago) link
There was a fear from Jorah that he knew that he was spying on Dany for a time.

He's so dumpy I still have trouble buying that he is some legendary warrior. Blackfish is much more believable as a badass old guy warrior.

There was too many boring little 1 on 1s in a row
boring little 1 on 1s are also a finale tradition and they're always my favorite, esp when they're reflecting/navel-gazey/not directly talking about the big storylines/sort of how real people talk
― ty based gay dead computer god (zachlyon), Wednesday, 12 June 2013 07:30 (eleven years ago) link
and god, the robb/head scene is a million times worse when i remember he's only like 14 in the books. the red wedding too, but especially that, barf
there was that point in the red wedding where he's standing in the middle and just looking at walder frey and basically going "UH. UH." like tina from bob's burgers with that look in his eyes and i couldn't stop thinking FOURTEEN YEARS OOOOOLD
― ty based gay dead computer god (zachlyon), Wednesday, 12 June 2013 07:32 (eleven years ago) link
No worries, he's like 15 or 16

Yeah but with them all one after another it deflated the (potential) momentum I'd been hoping for in the finale. Though I'm aware we all needed a rest after the red wedding arguably... except I was looking for a little more resulting chaos.
― Evan, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 13:43 (eleven years ago) link
tbh i'm cool with the second to last episode containing the climax and the last episode acting as an actual come-down conclusion, everyone's just used to the jj abrams "finale has to be super exciting and end on a major cliffhanger" method
