If we see Hodor again, I think he'll be all wight-y.

Uh-oh, seems Cercei is causing more trouble for herself.

RIP CleganeBowl, Welcome LannisterBowl.
What do you think that little speech to Edmure foreshadows?
Jamie shall become the Kingslayer, once again.

Wow. The resolution of Arya's Bravos plot was such crap...  Shouldn't be surprised - clever writing went out of the window on the show a couple of seasons ago, but still... How did all this running, tumbling, hacking and slashing in public was supposed to make Arya "no one" all of a sudden? Oh, well - f*ck it, whatever. At least it's over and I won't have to look at Jaqen's idiotic smirk anymore.

I think they probably have to condense so much into small clips, there's no way that they can tell the story the way it's supposed to be told.
I, for one, am kind of glad. I am looking forward to GRRM's unfurling Arya's story, and it being very different and not very spoiled by the shows, at all.

Also, after thinking about it a bit, it seems this outcome is perfectly on par with one of the overarching theme of the show/books, namely that there is nothing that is pure, nothing is untainted by greed or power.
Even this supposed paragon of neutrality, the conglomeration of all of the gods, the House of Black and White, the Many Faced God---even this is self serving. Jaqen saying that "now a girl is finally no one," that was bullshit, it was clearly bullshit, and both Jaqen and Arya knew it. Nothing about what transpired would lead anyone to that conclusion. The Waif was never "no one," and neither was Jaqen. His smirk when she finally told him that she is Arya of Winterfell, and she is going home---that was acquiescence, not approval.
The whole point of Arya going to Braavos was to learn who she is. To water dance once more. To trust in the only trustworthy thing in the whole fucking world---that everyone is out for themselves.
