If she wanted to find out what's to the West of Westeros couldn't she just ask Bran?

How is she the first person to think of exploring west

She's not. Just that no one ever returns. Elissa Farman from the books also went, but never returned.

i mean, maybe Dan and David aren't aware, but she's not

it's just that no one who has tried to make the journey has ever been seen or heard from again

but yeah, Arya can totally do it, even though she has absolutely no experience in sailing or navigating or anything related to being able to make such a journey yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

She sailed back from Braavos. That's not particularly far, but it's some experience, at least

She's going to end up in Mordor. Bran knows, but kept it to himself because he thinks it's funny. Same reason he's not telling anyone that he already knows Westeros is going to lose half its population to starvation in the next five years. Bran is a bad man now.

I'm pretty sure the three-eyed crow in the book tells Bran that he eventually won't be bound to weirwoods either, so I don't think the show made that one up.

But yeah, Arya's super dead. The Six Kingdoms will fall apart when Bran dies, if not long before due to the incompetence and inexperience of its Small Council. Sansa gets shit on, but she was the smartest one to bounce the fuck out.

I'm still scratching my head at how irrelevent her face swapping ability mattered to the plot.

I was legitimately expecting Arya to end up on the throne but masquerading as someone else.

Ask Walder Frey, House Frey and House Lannister how irrelevent her face swapping ability mattered when the entirety of House Frey got eliminated and House Lannister lost a major ally before the war.

i don't remember the particulars. are you saying she sailed herself? i thought she just booked passage on a ship. which isn't sailing experience.

Well, she's not really 'sailing' this one either. She's the captain, but the actual 'sailing' is being done by experienced hands.

Honestly, when they talked about having vacant seats at the Small Council, I was thinking Gendry had decided to say "Fuck this" and accompany Arya. He never really wanted to be a Lord Paramount, and like he told her, he had no idea how to act highborn. And since she never wanted to be a Lady, it would have been the perfect modification to their relationship. ^_^

she doesn't have any experience captaining a ship either though. it's not something that just anyone can up and decide to do.

As long as you have a competent Mate and Boatswain, and listen to them, and have authority over your crew, you'd do fine.

How much do you think the average joe on this ship is going to slack off when they know their captain cuts peoples faces off and wears them? ^_^

aight, you can try to rationalize it however you want, the fact is that Arya has absolutely no experience in anything related to sailing or navigating or captaining a ship or what the fuck ever, and the writers have her trying to make a voyage that absolutely no one in 8000 years of recorded history has been able to make successfully. it's fucking stupid, and it is not rational or logical in the least, no matter how you try to spin it.


It's a show with dragons and zombies, try not to put too much thought into it.

Imo, Bran is effectively the king forever. Not only will he live a long ass time, in the tune of centuries like the Three Eyed Raven, he would know exactly who his successor is and thus train him to maintain the Three Eyes Raven.

Remember, Bran is not Bran. He's the Three Eyed Raven.

A one-time incompetent ally was taken out. Hardly the critical driver of plot for something she spent a lot of time training for and which essentially promptly disappeared afterwards. It'd be like a lite version of the dragons showing up, torching one city or army, and then promptly disappearing for the rest of the show.

Ooo, she used her faces one time to drop a bridge ona plot thread and then never again. Soooo relevant.

The face-swapping thing was handled fine in the show, imo. They paid it off with the utter destruction of a major house, then gave the spotlight to Arya's other assassin skills. The face-swap magic-trick could easily have felt cheap if they had overused it. I think it would have been cool to see Arya use a face and play the Game of Faces with Littlefinger in Season 7 (that whole plot was underdeveloped, imo), but I didn't really need another major kill using face magic.

I do wonder how it will come into play in the books though, where it seems that a different character will be responsible for wiping out House Frey... the books may need to give Arya something else to do with that ability.
