I usually go out of my way to excuse the show for things, but I gotta gree about the Arya plot. I don't actually mind that it ends in her learning that she cannot become a faceless man, it's just not her. But how stupid Arya was, there was no luring there. She had her back turned, and let someone come right up to her. The stab wounds were obviously bad, but they mostly heal up pretty goddamn fast, and then the terminator/waif chase scene was almost comical it was so terrible.
I understand that GRRM tries to upset expectations, which is why it's ok that she does not become a faceless man. It's not wasted time, it's time we all, audience and characters, spent learning about who Arya truly is. That's fine. IT was how they wrapped it up. All action, no sense, that is upsetting.
Anyway, most of the rest of the show is maintining a more thoughtful writing style, so I'm hoping that was a one off thing.
I'm excited to see the battle for Winterfell next week!
