Also - it would seem quite idiotic to try to assassinate Cersei, while wearing a disguise of the person Cersei hates more than anyone else in the world, who has a hefty bounty on his head, and who's known and instantly recognizable by virtually everyone in King's Landing...
The alternative is to take over Jamie's face... and body size. Same problem.
Anyway, she's going North, so she won't be taking out Cersei anytime soon.
Well she did it with Walder Frey. I think we can suspend the disbelief about body size just as we do when she just 'puts on a face' lol.
If she's going North, it's to kill Baelish, who's going to get outed by Bran for betraying Ned soon. If Littlefinger gets word that Bran is the Three Eyed Raven, he better skedaddle back to the Eyrie with the quickness. Otherwise, he gon get got. One conversation with Bran, and Baelish will be on Arya's list.
But she's going south. She's the Lone Wolf.

Huh? She decided to go to Winterfell. The show made it clear that a group of men in Hot Pie's Signature Bakery & Brewery were going to King's Landing too, and they went in the opposite direction that she did.

Doesn't the promo for the next episode show Arya looking at Winterfell from a hill? Would be weird if she spends 3 episodes traveling just to turn around and spend another 3-4 going back to KL.

I can't wait for Littlefinger to die. In the books he's one of my favorite characters. He's smarter and much more subtle about his conniving personality. In the show, literally EVERYBODY knows he's a twisty-mustached full of shit schemer. In the books nobody realizes this and everybody underestimates him, thus making his rise to power much more believable. In the show he just sucks.
I thought it was funny how he told Sansa to "expect everything." Can't expect a presumed dead Stark kid to come back with magical powers and reveal you I guess.

Until I saw the latest promo, I was sure her encounter with Nymeria ("That's not you") was a clear sign that Arya realized that going to Winterfell was not her.
But it seems to be her in the promo (00:23) below, as FnF pointed out.

It sure does seem like we're supposed to assume 'valonqar' describes a biological relationship.

I mean, I'm sure it's going to mean something, but a few things here. 1. He could die at 200 in a strange country and she'd still look like she was telling the truth. 2. She doesn't have a super track record with reading the future.

True. Melisandre seems to think Arya will be the one to kill her. She said, (or hinted) as much in their meeting where she took Gendry. I was thinking it had something to do with the last meeting between Varys and Melisandre, where she revealed that she knows what the voice in the flame told him after his castration as a boy, and whose voice it was.
She has a bad track record of choosing who Azor Ahai is, but she's been good at the details.
