Yeah.....they pretty much ****ed up the entire Arya storyline. Her entire time in Bravos was a ****ing waste of air time.

The only thing they did right on Arya was have her fight the Waif in total darkness. There was no other realistic way for her to defeat the Waif, but in darkness, Arya's recent blindness helps giver her the advantage, but more to the point, having the huge reach advantage of a sword over a knife when the Waif can't see the sword coming is game over for the Waif.
It was dumb that Arya let herself get stabbed in the first place by being so careless. The good thing is that we know it won't go down like this in the books, hopefully it will be handled better. Everything about her story in Bravos was better int he books, so I assume the ending will be as well. |

Exactly, they actually took a good story and ****ed it up in their version. How do you do that?

"No one speaks for the Many-Faced God.
The kindly man is someone. The waif is someone. No one is no one. A sweet girl has shown mercy. A debt must be paid. One life shall be taken. Which life matters not. A life is a life. It is all the same to the Many-Faced God. A smart girl knows she cannot beat the waif in simple combat. A clever girl must deceive the waif. A girl must play the game. A girl knows an actress. An actress knows the art of lying. A lost girl has trained in the art of lying for two years. An actress has given a sweet girl what she needs. A girl has all the rest. "You have very expressive eyes, wonderful eyebrows. Do you like pretending to be other people?" A hunted girl must attract the attention of someone. A hunted girl must stand openly where escape is easy. The waif is someone. The waif has desires. An experienced girl knows the waif will want her to suffer. A clever girl knows where the waif will stab her. A lying girl must become a wounded girl. A lying girl must act wounded when no one is watching. For no one is watching. A wounded girl must lead the waif into the darkness. A girl has trained in complete darkness before. The waif has not. The waif is unprepared. The waif has been tricked by a girl. The waif believes she is after a wounded girl. A girl is not a wounded girl. A girl will deliver a life to the Many-Faced God. A life is a life and the debt is paid. A girl is not no one. A girl will never be no one. A girl is Arya Stark and Arya Stark has many faces." I got this from a comment chain on Facebook. Take it for what it's worth. |

So much tortured nonsense to defend a simple display of bad storytelling from people who have not show themselves to be immune to same.

Why are we to believe that the waif hasn't trained in darkness before?

Arya's story had so, so much potential left on the table. I see this as nothing more than D&D wanting to stick to their original estimate of having only 13 episodes left to tell after this season, and they have to get shit moving to get shit wrapped up. And in doing so, they short changed the story and the fans.

The same reason they had Arya do it.

Like I said before... they are using large battles as their shiny object. Look over here so you don't see the shitty story telling we are doing.
