Appreciated as always :bravo:

Alright, there's something that always struck me as odd about the Arya, Jaquen, and the Waif.

If you remember the season 5 finale, Arya steals a face she wasn't supposed to. jaquen and the Waif appear. Jaquen says only death can pay for life. Arya looks like she's going to be forced to drink poison but Jaquen drinks it. Arya looks distraught; however, the Waif is actually Jaquen. Dead "Jaquen" is no one, as Arya pulls mask after mask off until the last mask is her face. Then Arya goes blind... Etc.

I still don't get WTF happened, and how that even ties into the Waif stabbing Arya this season. How does the face of Arya get put on the dead "Jaquen" body if she's not dead? Who stabbed who this season? OK, I'm done confusing myself.
The Faceless Men are NOBODY.
Therefore, they can be male, or female. Doesn't matter. :smh:
Just depends on whichever ‘face’ they are currently using. :dunno:

There is no Jaquen.
There is no Waif.
They’re all the same.

If one dies… another just replaces the fallen.

Now Arya ‘cheated’ when she used that face to kill Meryn Trant at the brothel.

Faceless men use multiple faces… but it’s like peeling an onion with many layers.
You just keep peeling away layer after layer… until there is nothing left.

But Arya took a face and wore it like a mask OVER her own face… so she was still ‘Arya’ (running out on her own ‘revenge mission’) underneath all the layers. :yes:

On the tv show… the way it works is really all just ‘fantasy’ with some ‘magic’ to it… so there’s no ‘realistic’ (real world) explanation to compare it to. :smh: (So I just used the onion example as a metaphor, because its the easiest way to 'envision' it in the 'real world'.)

Technically, Jaquen and the Waif are the SAME person.
They are completely interchangeable.

And when Jaquen/Waif tells Arya the faces ‘are like poison’ to someone who is not truly’faceless’…. and her face is revealed on the dead Jaquen’s body.. its pretty much a ‘dire warning’ to show Arya that she is fucking around with some LETHAL ’black magic shit’ that she does not yet understand… AND COULD TRULY KILL HER ASS. :yes:

That’s why Jaquen told her: “A girl has been given a 2nd chance… There will not be a 3rd.” :hmm:

Translation = You only ‘went blind’ the first time, kid… Next time you pull some ol’ disobedient shit on US… there IS a ‘grave site’ with your name on it… just waiting for you. :yes: You been warned. :hmm: Act like you know. :yes:
 
true. he was a hostage. he was just in a swiss jail as opposed to the russian jail ramsay had him in

Game of Thrones seasons go by so fast, we've already reached episode 7 of Season 6. This episode sets up a lot of future conflicts and the overall theme is about regaining something lost. Within the first 3 minutes Soul II Soul plays and a popular character comes Back 2 Life...back to reality. With that said here are my stretched out observations from "A Broken Man"



  • No opening credits? What are we building Noah's Ark
  • The Hound lives? KFC, Popeyes, Bojangles, Zarby's, Raising Canes, El Polo Loco and Chick-fil-A are all on high alert
Hound.gif

  • Brienne's beatdown made the Hound join Habitat for Humanity... Ray laughs
  • Riverrun on the map in the opening map
  • The Hound has become Hacksaw Jim Dugan, chopping wood like it owes him money
  • Margarey can play any hand she's given and win, has Bernie Sparrow wrapped
  • Saddest thing Tommen has done is tell the Sparrow he can't smell the Queen's flower anymore
  • Queen of Thorns isn't safe anymore in KL... because no one could afford to witness her walk of atonement
  • Margarey passing notes like a 3rd grader, lets Grandma know she hasn't forgotten where she's from
Tyrell-Rose.gif

  • You may be the worst person I've ever met in my life - Lady Olenna with the verbal swords on Cersei
  • Cersei is erriely calm this season, has Qyburn been puting adderal in her wine?
  • Bron is back without the castle or the Highborn wife he was promised
  • Jamie and the Lannister army looks like they're supposed to be in "The Last Samurai"
  • Damn the Red Wedding Hillbillies are attacking Riverrun with less effort than the Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Bron offered to introduce the Frey's to the teachings of ZOD prison style
  • Jamie says I have a solid gold hand, and you're free to catch it
  • Edmure Tully gets his Rickon Stark contract back, offered fewer lines than a brotha on Seinfeld
  • BlackFish Da God with the ice grill from atop the castle
  • Blackfish meets with Jamie because the Riverrun WiFi is down and he's bored with the seige...leaves disappointed
  • Ironborn will pay the "gold price" if the ass and titties are right !!

  • Theon acting like women on the 6 train when it's packed, anxious and scared
  • Yara said "DRINK" so much I started hearing the beat of Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools
  • Yara hit Theon with the full Joe Clark on the roof with Sams... DO IT EXPEDITIOUSLY
  • Wun Wun says one word and wildlings fall in line. Sansa doesn't seem phased seeing her first giant
  • Wun Wun looks like he's related to Liam Neeson
  • Northerners shouldn't look down on Wildlings, they all appear to have the same bath frequency
  • Jorah's cousin Lady Baby Bear is hard as hell/ all about Bear Island/ I don't care who you tell
  • Kill the small talk, my mom was no great beauty...what do you want? - Lady Baby Bear for the win!

  • Sansa aka the Elizabeth Taylor of the north ? are you a Bolton or a Lannister this week
  • Ser Davos the little girl whisperer, and the top Westerosi gymnastic olympic coach
  • Robb Stark, the King of the North married a girl from Essos (thats like marrying a white woman at the Esscence music festival) to Northeners
  • Sansa overestimated the Houses of the north, time to run to Littlefinger for help (sends a raven)
  • Arya is walking around on the crip side of Braavos with a red doorag on?
  • Arya got shanked like she's in the emerald city oswald correctional facility
Arya-Waif-1.gif

  • I think that was Jaquen not the waif who stabbed Arya ...as a warning
  • Arya walking through Braavos singing ...who can I run to... bleeding
  • Al Sweargen hasn't cursed once and is being very kind and inspirational (D.B. isn't fooled)
  • Violence is a disease, you don't stop disease by spreading it to others... yet pacifism doesn't work
  • Just when you think you're out Hound they pull you back in... his commune is murdered. He picks up his axe to become Jon Wick of the Riverlands
  • The Mormonts have more men than the minutes of this episode.

*dead*
 
She's right isn't she? They need more men, right now the Lannister army is about four times as large as Snow's.
Brother they ain't fighting the Lannisters. Ramsay has about 20K with the Boltons, Umbers, and Karstarks alone. And still no word from House Manderly
 
Yeah they are too "good and honorable". The only High family to be so. By sticking to the rules they are like lambs to the slaughter. I like the Starks, but they are (were, after all this betrayal I think they are getting better) dumb as fuck. For all that has happened, Ned should have just stayed his ass home and went to war with the crown, but then I would have had to watch the Cavs get slapped around like Sansa on her wedding night.

I disagree. He was Jon Arryn's squire and King Robert was his boy from way back. Theses dudes fought wars together and won. This wasn't some nominal lord asking him to go Kings Landing. It was his boy who was the king. On a basic level, when your homie comes calling you go help him out. He didn't know that Lilltefinger put this whole thing into motion. He came down to help. I will say that Ned was stupid when he confronted Cersei about her bastards. He should of played things closer to the vest and he might still have his head. But I don't fault him for wanting to help his boy.

Robb on the other hand was stupid because he was inexperienced and refused to listen, even to his mom who knew the game. I went back and watched season 2 before this season started and you could see him slowly losing grips because he refused to listen. Lord Glover said it right, Robb jeapordized the North because he married a low born from Volantis and got his ass killed for it.

i was hearing this in my head when she was walking all calm through the streets
:roflmao2:
 
Having less men doesn't automatically means you lose a battle.Does having more men help,I agree,but it doesn't mean you loss the battle


Sansa should just keep her mouth shut and let the people,who fought before do all the talking,because she's acting like a bitch
The only objection Snow seems to have about trying to get more men is that they don't have enough time. What harm is there in Sansa sending a raven to request help?
 
I think there will be a twist in Arya's story,because she have shown to be very careful and all of a sudden she get careless in this episode.Especially,when she know the Faceless Men are after her,I don't buy it....



I wouldn't say the North keeps their kids in check,but they understand they can't afford to have weak leaders,especially when they're the least populous in the Seven Kingdom.

This show has fooled me once or twice already. When John Snow died I didn't buy it and then all the later hype and the Red wedding Bullshit convinced me otherwise. At least where Starks are concerned you think once fucked they stay fucked. Arya might be different I think Arya is expecting this. So here is my convoluted Theory on Arya...

  • Arya is wearing some type of light Armour.
  • She also has some type of fake blood bag
  • She is selling her injury to the crowd.
  • She will kill the Waif probably in a duel in the dark or against a blind Waif. A long shot is she might poison her.
I think Arya gets help from the theater company. She may use old school type of disguises instead of magic. The other scenario is that she lets them think she is dead but that would be to easy. The Waif should have slit the throat. She had her shot she's done.

thats because Bolton is coming for them now, it's not like he is going to wait for John to build his army before attacking

I like this theory :yes::yes: If its true it would be clever. She should know that she cant just run to Westeros. Jaquen is too OG for that -- She would be looking over her shoulder the rest of her life. Help from the theater folks would be cool, except that it would be risky even going back there to get the assist. Maybe she will get help from them if she is really stabbed.

I find it weird that Jaquen keeps giving her poison jobs tho, when they know she can do a bit more. Dont know if thats training wheels or if that means something else. Another thing is that I never believed that she totally fooled him with the "now I'm really noone for real". He got a soft spot for her and gives her passes. Hell, he told the waif no suffering. Also weird. This much is clear though, if Arya gets through this, that Waif bout to get needled up like a seamstress. Belee dat!

I don't think poison is unusual for an assassin. Your first job is to kill and then disappear. Poison with the faceless disguises is a potent combination. Think about the Purple Wedding vs the Red Wedding. If you want to off somebody without drawing attention then Poison is the way to go. If you want to send a message then you go the Red Wedding route.
 
For those who are dissing the Starks for being weak. Keep in mind, they are not running nearly at full strength they should be at.

20 years earlier the OG Lord Stark and First born son are burned by the Mad King. And this is after OG Sister Lyanna died in childbirth (or whatever). So now they got young Ned and Benjen who was already sent to the wall. I got to think the Starks play it a lot tougher if top 2/3 of the family hasn't already been wiped out.

Prior to the Rebellion the Starks been either Kings of the North or Warderns of the North for 1000's of years. That means the been beating back Wildlings, upstart Boltons and Karstarks for a long ass time. They not naturally weak, they just had a catastrophically bad 20 years.

The Starks are not weak per se, they are a great bunch of people good fighters in general and trustworthy. But in the Game Of Thrones, they are not built for that particular game, the high game of POWER and POLITICS demands cunning, manipulation, intelligence gathering, bending some principles to make strategic allies and playing hardcore chess while not revealing that there is a poker game being played at the same time.
They are being tested and failing but the ones who survive will be formidable that's for sure!

If they aren't built for the game they are weak, while everyone else is playing the game and doing what must be done the Starks are playing dumb. They aren't qualified to rule the North.

They are qualified for that though, all the mastery of politics in the world will not help you against the White Walkers. The northern tribes/houses are living in harsher conditions, they have better and stronger fighters, they are faithful to their allegiances too for the most part. Everything went south when Ned HAD to move south and enter into politics which he tried to handle as a soldier.
If he hadn't, Sansa would be Queen and their life would go on until Daenerys invaded or the Night King.

The North done play politics - at least prior to the events in the series. Its all hard living and word is bond up there. When somebody step outta line you sort them out harsh. Thats how Starks, Boltons, Karstarks and all dem dudes live. Zero Bullshit. Thats why they fail spectacularly in "the game" - which is a whole other skill set. I doubt Littlefinger even own a sword. Varys dont. Hell, Tywin never used his since the series started. You can be a first time chess player and demolish these notherners.

I think Sansa's time in the capital will help her in the future. She starting to play a bit but stumbling/fucking up cuz she green. But best believe she bout that Winterfell takeover. Davos is the only politician in the north right now, and he aint even from there.

I like Davos because he has no pretense and he is like someone from the hood who starts off by saying I grew up in the hood and I wanna keep it real...then he lays out the situation - fuck your petty wars, the real war is from the north and if you want to win the Game of Thrones then you better deal with the Night King because he is coming.

On a sidenote, Sansa is one of the least fucked women in Westeros and her reputation is that of a bed hopping whore who marries every one. Lannister, Bolton ..as Stretch said the Elizabeth Taylor of the North

Bitch is now legal and we have yet to see her titties, the feminist agenda will probably prevent us from seeing her in another fuck scene
 
From REDDIT - props to CreepyPancakes and other redditors:

So, apparently, Sansa's time with Baelish rubbed off on her, at least a little, and she's writing letters to friends (or foes) unknown behind her brother's back. Let's have a closer look, shall we?

Bah, DoF!

No, no, no. This won't do at all. Too much depth of field. We can make out a few words, though. "to fufill", "for Winterfell" and "rewarded"...

Ah, much better!

Let's see, here's something we can work with.

Flip-flop!

Gotta get it right-side up so we can read it, at least to some extent.

Zoom in.

Now we're talking, but we're not quite there... Hold on...

ENHANCE!!! [Updated]

There we go.I've traced the legible words in black, and the barely legible (plus educated guesses on the missing ones, based on surrounding words) in red. "north" and "rewarded" are legible in other shots of the letter, such as when she stamps it. Question marks indicate a dubious word, but the most likely. The legible parts read: “[...] to protect me. Now you have a chance to fulfill your promise. [...] Knights of the Vale are under your command. Ride north for Winterfell. Lend us your aid and I shall see to it that you are [well/properly] rewarded." So, the sneaky Stark girl is indeed summoning a man she claimed to want no more contact with: Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish.

Ninjas went like Tom Cruise on Minority Report.

What can she offer for reward? Maybe she offering to marry Robin. Sounds like a Littlefinger's wet dream.

The only reward she's really got left is between her legs and even by her own words the value of that particular flower has already been Ramsified (no pun intended). She may even be barren.

Littlefinger didn't play all these games just to get some more Stark punani. He might accept a marriage between Lil Robyn ass and Sansa tho. That would really give him more power
