Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[FatAndFaithless]

Really though,  Arya's plot this season was fucking terrible   just bad writing

Meh, I don't think so.  Everyone knew that she was always Arya Stark and was never going to become 'No one.'  Now she's got the skills of a real deadly assassin, has her sword, and is rededicated to the Stark name.  

There was one or two things that irked me though, and I suspect it's just a case of the show being so much more crunched for time than the books.  1) When the waif ambushed her, she didn't have Needle.  I'm not even that upset that she seemed a little careless; she had just booked passage home and took literally 5 seconds to look at the sunset.  But she wouldn't go anywhere without Needle, it's a part of her, and it's her protection.  
2) This is the biggest one.  She magically heals two stab wounds to the stomach in what seems like a few days, and is then parkouring away from the T1000 waif-inator.  Again, this is much harder to do in the show than the books, because in the books you can just say like "weeks passed..."  but in the show we have to see everything.  it was a little jarring, certainly.


But "fucking terrible" and "bad writing"?  I disagree strongly.  The theater troupe was great, especially as it rekindled her Stark-ness when she saw her family in the play.  Also, Lady Crane and the dwarf in the troupe were really funny. There were those two hangups that I mentioned (one larger than the other), but calling it "fucking terrible" is a bit of an overreaction.
