If you kill them do you get to go free? I am stuck with the impression that the writers are just using the mystery of the Faceless Men as a convenient cover for narrative convenience.

I think it all played out exactly like Jaqen expected/hoped.

The Waif was a total bitch. Maybe he was happy to be rid of her?

The waif did seem to enjoy killing a bit too much. She's a little banana split.

In the book - Jaquen bangs Arya then kills her.

I hope that's a joke. I have to agree with the sentiment about the faceless man/god story arc with arya, it's just been pretty boring, that said I did enjoy the last episode even though it was a tad over the top with the whole terminator vibe What was the point of her training to become no one? is she now a true stealth killer assassin. Did Jaquen just let arya leave because she managed to kill terminator. Were they (terminator girl) even real, was it all a test?

To get out of a dungeon, avoid the walk of shame, avoid a trial and so she can fight the faith without them suspecting/investigating her?

She had a chance to have soldiers kill them all though. When they were at the steps.

She didn't really though did she? The King was on the side of the High Sparrow, do you think the enormous crowd of people would standby when some soldiers attacked the Faith and disobeyed the King in front of them?

There's got to be more to Jaquen. I thought he was also going to turn out to be her original sword instructor (puss in boots guy) and had been training her and following her journey ever since

I liked Jaquen when he was puss in boots guy a lot more, then he became humourless monk man. Probably has the best hair though, it's like out of some loreal advert.

Because no one is worth it.

This is how it should have gone.

Before they got to the steps the knights should have killed a few random city people and placed their heads on pikes which would obviously have scared any other people away thus negating the obvious disadvantage. They then just have to mop up the faith guys, kidnap the wimpy king and force him to declare Cersie Queen and bingo the jobs a good'un.

Always start with heads on pikes though, that's the key.

I would be surprised if Tommen lives much longer.

Well so far he's a pretty decent guy, and has given no reason for us to suspect otherwise.

I know religion is kinda shady in IRL but in the world of the show a change such as no more trial by combat is actually quite progressive and fairer to the working classes.

I imagine he'll end up dying, but what if he becomes a major player over the next two books seasons and ushers in a quasi-utopian rule of Westeros that pleases the Gods so much they descend from heaven and bring everyone back to life who has ever died and then everyone takes a massive bow together and Ned Stark winks at the camera?

"For Westeros James?"

Who is next inline to the Iron throne?

Theres that bastard in a row boat.

Apparently its actually Cersei, through some convoluted, line of succession and backtracking stuff.

I forgot about Gendry. But then it's pretty easy to do so.

I just hope they don't have Arya become his queen if he does somehow get the iron throne.

Bastards can't inherit. They would need to be legitimized by a king.

I know the quality has declined in the past two seasons but people seem to be just analysing this now after every episode instead of just watching it.
