For a society that seems to pretend to place value on their oaths, they sure do seem to break them a lot.
He also stabbed him in the back which I think everyone knows. So I always kinda figured that was an extra added insult thrown in with it.
So that is the end of Arya's arc? To be a faceless assassin? How does that tie into the rest of the world? Arya spends the rest of the show doing missions and assassinating pivotal characters?
Its probably pretty badass unless the slayer is a member of the kingsguard at the time of the slaying, wearing the gold armor and all.
Well, Jamie was going to die, along with the King himself, anyhow if he DIDN'T do it, along with a #### ton of innocent people. The Mad King was going to blow up the entire city.
Sure, but I don't think any of that would matter to a kingsguard knight like Barristan Selmy or Arthur Dayne. I think that's the point of being a kingsguard. I agree its an easy decision though for the kind of knight who would shove a kid out a window without a moment's thought.
This has a chance of being dumb in a big hurry, but whatever was going on, at least Arya should be getting out of there soon.Scoresman said:
Not yet at least. Probably watch 8th episode thursday night since I'll be busy on Sunday. Then will try to stay good and not watch the last two until they actually air.
Do not try to kill the waif, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... there is no waif. Then you will see it is not the waif that kills, it is only yourself.
No I get that, I was asking, if that's the case, how does her story arc end then? They've spent a lot of screen time then on a character who would ultimately have no impact on the greater story. If she becomes a faceless assassin is she then going to end up being the person who is chosen to carry out an order and kill, say Cersei?
theres got to be a statute of limitations with this request. Twists like this are common knowledge in everyday life... Darth Vader is Luke's father, Keyser Soze, Fight Club, I see dead people... are we supposed to always use spoiler tags for old movies?
this is very strange to me. the old part, for sure... but not wanting to see Fight Club? I don't get it.
I know... I get that.... I'm asking, is that what you think Arya's story is going to end? She becomes a faceless assassin and then is hired to kill someone that is a major character? Just seems like a lot of screen time invested if that's the eventual outcome, I just don't see it.
kind of agree. but she'll end up impossibly killing somebody that needs to be killed- using her faceless/nameless powers.... and that could be good. still have hope they'll play it out well.
all of Arya's screen time has been her training to become a fighter. her story begins with Jon giving her Needle. she watches her only friend get killed. she trains with a master swordsman. then she watches him get killed. then she watches her father get killed. then she travels with an old-school man in black who teaches her about survival. then she travels with Hound, who teaches her about being ruthless. then she trains as an assassin. all of her screen time is invested in her development in that storyline. how should her story end? Gendry becomes king and marries her and she lives happily ever after?
