Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
That episode was all about shit getting animated, running away, going to a weird carnival island, getting swallowed by a whale, escaping, saving a father-figure's life, and dying in the process.
Next week: shit gets real.
We only get Ian McShane for one episode?!

Considering how often the "dead" and the dead come back? I'm pretty sure he'll be around for a while.
Maybe Ian McShane is Lady Stoneheart.
I'm sure Arya will be okay but GODDAMN I was still not expecting her to take such a hit.
FUCK YEAH HOUND IS ALIVE
I have zero worries about Arya. Maybe Phryne Fisher will see her bleeding all over the street and take her in.
I loved the Blackfish. And the little Lyanna Mormont.
And the little Lyanna Mormont.
She OWNED.
Little Lyanna was incredible.
I'm sure Arya will be okay but GODDAMN I was still not expecting her to take such a hit.
How fucking stupid was it that she'd (a) be wandering around without a hood or disguise blabbing about going to Westeros and throwing money bags; and (b) Not be instantly on guard for anybody approaching her when she well knows that her assassin can change faces.

HUBRIS.
(I look forward to reading GRRM's version, depending on how similar his path is, but if it ends up here, I imagine Arya will be...less stupid or we'll understand her actions better.)
