Downs...

2. Cryptic Jaqen And Blind Arya

I'll preface this by saying that I'm glad things are looking up for Arya, and that the future might offer something different in her Faceless Man training. However, for this episode it was just more of the same, and while the glimpse we had of Arya last week was exciting, it quickly dulled this week when it was more or less repeated.

This wasn't helped by Jaqen being his usually cryptic self, asking the same questions of Arya and getting the same answers. We've been here before, and it still hasn't gone anywhere. As I said, I'm hopeful that from next week (or whenever we next see Arya) things might start moving a little differently, but at the moment it's feeling a bit stale.
