Game Of Thrones: Season 6 - 6 Clues From "The Door" Trailer
5. Arya's Training Continues... Yawn
Look, it's all great that she got her sight back, and that she's back in Jaqen's good books, but can this all just get out of the way soon?
While the rest of the show (aside from Dany's endlessly repeating storyline) hurtles forward at an absolutely break-neck speed, where plodding along ridiculously slow with Arya looking to become a Faceless Man, with Yoda H'ghar in his big palace of mysteries.
This week, Jaqen has more poetry to spout, talking about the fallacy of Death coming for the wicked and leaving the decent behind. Which in all honesty Arya should already realise is an absolute load of manure since an entire arm of her family of decent people have been murdered horribly.
And he's also got a present for Arya...
Is it poison? Is he sending her on a mission to kill someone as the next step on her journey to becoming an assassin? It certainly looks like he's handing over a little bottle.
I'm still completely baffled as to how Arya becoming a Faceless Man fits with her desire for revenge and her family's desire to reunite with her. As an assassin, she might be equipped with the skills to do the former, but she won't be allowed to do either thanks to all of Jaqen's rules.
So what even is the point of all of this?!
