utter crap. The Braavos storyline took one of the coolest characters Jacquen and made him a mumbling mystic cult leader who had no idea what was going on under his own roof with the Waif and Arya. Arya's training was mainly just stick fighting and washing dead bodies. Where did she pick up the parkour and the ability to run around with a gut wound?
She made all this attempt to be a faceless one even refusing the offer to get her eyesight back then she throws it all away begging the question what was the point of any of this?
The Waif was such a painfully one dimensional character who hated Arya because of reasons. Her running around like a terminator was so laughable. And Arya defeated her because she learned how to fight blind after being blind for a week or two. That was so contrived! I'm just glad it's over as badly resolved as it was.

Arya Tyvin > Arya Braavos > Arya Hound

There has been no substantial growth in Arya as a character. Sansa on the other hand is one of the best written of the entire series. FACTUAL.

Although Arya is my favourite character, I still must admit that her arc over the past few seasons has been quite poorly handled.
However, her actions and growth as a character have been far more entertaining and worthwhile than Sansa's, a character who hasn't learned a damn thing since S01E01.

terrible

i don't mind it. i think its a well done identity arc and i love the cat warging. i also thought that the mercy chapter was the best released twow chapter so far.
i agree with you otherwise though. the essos storylines are pretty weak. i f-cking hate mereen.

It is by no means good in the books, dude. Nothing non-Westeros has ever been.

good in the books. inconsistent and mediocre on the show.

I`d rather watch her season 1 scene telling Nymeria to pick up her gloves than the entire faceless assassin "arc".

The unfolding of the arc has had its ups and downs, but that moment when Jaqen first offered to take her along after they made it out of Harrenhal was the most excited on-the-edge-of-my-seat I have been in the entire series.
I remember shoving my buddy into the wall and yelling "DO IT ARI DO IT!!!!"
If they would have just thrown in a couple more bada$$ faceless dude extras walking around and looking all mean and wise and deadly, it would have made a heck of a difference for me. That place being a morguey ghost town worked for an episode or two, but they needed to spice it up here n there to make it really suck us all in.

• "arc."

I enjoyed this arc. Yes, it could have been more creative and mind-bending but D&D are not that kind of writers.

Confess.

Have you ever heard the fable of The Scorpion and the Frog?

Why do you always have to seek to sew discord?
No wonder Jesus quit carpentry. It's so much harder than talking on a donkey.

In both the books and show, it could have been done better. Too much time is spent on pointless training scenes, and not enough on explaining why the Faceless Men are actually important.

Exactly!!! Imagine the amount of time we would have spent with Stannis, Cersei vs Margaery etc.
I'll say storyline because there was no arc. The storyline was utterly pathetic, devoid of any qualities apart from visually, and resulted in basically nothing.

Should have done it all in season 6 and cut her from season 5 like Bran.

I liked it for what it was but seemed like filler in the larger story. She is basically back in Westeros hunting the same targets as before she left. She really didn't seem to get that much training while she was there. She spent most of time defying their commands and murdering who she chose to (or chose not to). The only real skill she learned is the face mask trick which the already used in season 6 finale.
It will be interesting to see how they integrate her back into the Jon Snow / Cersei storylines if they ever do. She and the Hound are kind of just out there floundering with no purpose.
