Jun 8, 2016 It's magic :P Also came across this article which really has me convinced. "Firstly, Arya looked different. Up until now, her hair was rather shoulder length, but in "The Broken Man", her hair looked a lot longer. It could be argued that it was now similar in style to H'ghar's. Furthermore, Arya acted different - she was more confident than usual when chatting with the merchants. She was quick witted and cocky, tactics also used by H'ghar. Also notice the expression on her face - it's that look of sly confidence - almost arrogance - that H'ghar often uses. Looking at the above image, is it just me or can you not see H'ghar in Arya? The expression is identical! Moreover, look at the stance - confident with the arms behind her back. When did Arya ever stand like that? The little Stark warrior was often quick paced and not really what one would describe as poised in her mannerisms. She approaches the merchants with confidence, in a H'ghar like manner. She speaks to the merchants in a tone of voice that I wouldn't imagine Arya using, saying to man, "You're Westerosi". 'Westerosi' is also word or term that I wouldn't have imagined coming out of Arya's mouth - perhaps something more along the lines of, "are you from Westeros?". Moreover, she has more than enough money to get the merchant's attention, and when questioned as to where she got it from, she does not answer. I thought such an important scene like Arya stealing or earning money would've been shown on screen. Perhaps the money was one of the props that H'ghar needed when portraying Arya - we've seen in the past, H'ghar is capable of getting the extras that he needs (remember the cockles and the outfit that Arya used to blend in?) when completing a mission. Also, did anybody else notice her expression as she leaves the table? She does that cocky, pursed lips expression moments after leaving the merchants, something that H'ghar has also done in the past. The outfit is also an unusual style for Arya, something that I never would've imagined her wearing. If Arya is aware that she's going to be hunted, why would she get a decent outfit? Or perhaps more of an appropriate question -where would she get a decent outfit? One thing Arya was never really concerned about was her appearance, so the outfit does seem a little out of character. It's almost rich looking and robe-like, something that H'ghar would most certainly wear. When the little old lady appeared on screen, did anybody else immediately know or predict that it was the Waif? I can't see that Arya would've knowingly went out in public and let her guard down that easily. This is Arya Stark - the warrior that we know would've never been that stupid. Moreover, where's Needle? Arya did reunite with her small sword last week as she knew that she would become a target - so why did she step out in public without her most trusted ally? If my theory is correct, then I believe that H'ghar was pretending to be Arya to catch The Waif in the murder attempt. If we remember back to last week, H'ghar made the Waif promise that she wouldn't make Arya suffer, yet she brutally stabs her. Perhaps this was his way of catching her in the act. Also, notice the look on Arya's face when she realises that it was The Waif in disguise. She's suddenly more annoyed at her attacker's identity than she is at the fact she's just been stabbed. Suddenly she has what it takes to retaliate and get away. Perhaps the Waif was being tested? If you think about it - We've seen H'ghar die before and live to tell the story. He cannot die - he is no one. Moreover, next week's episode is called "No One"
Jun 8, 2016 best spisode of the season so far. that would be crazy if that was jaqen with aryas face. aryas stabbing was great it was like something out of the movie it follows. was a shame that septon that healed the hound died he was a good actor
Jun 8, 2016 Was confused then too. I remember that but also remember somewhere JH saying that they have to be dead to wear their face
Jun 8, 2016 Also Arya didn't have her sword. The names of the last 3 episodes have been released: 8 No one 9 Battle of the b------s 10 Winds of Winter It's coming!
Jun 9, 2016 are we going to k--- off all the starks??? f--- this episode arya didnt even get to see them
Jun 10, 2016 I remember watching that episode, if I didn't know what was going to happen I definitely wouldn't raged quit.
Jun 11, 2016 Spoiler I hope they bring out Lady Stoneheart. They're teasing a lot with the Brotherhood hanging the septon, Lemoncloak, Brienne and Pod in the Riverlands, Freys/Tullys being back in the mix and the overall resurrection theme of this season. To not bring out Stoneheart before the season is over would be the ultimate f--- You to fans.
Jun 11, 2016 Spoiler: Spoiler Should of happened in Season 4. What she been doing for the past couple of months/years. Her entire agenda is to get revenge on everyone who did the Stark family wrong. She 90% coming back even the leader of the banners said she may be back tomorrow. I just feel its abit late
Jun 11, 2016 Spoiler Yeah, they should have ended S4 with her appearance. That would have been an amazing cliffhanger. But I guess they didn't want to do it nor did they see the possibilities. But already we're seeing them sort of giving the fans what they want or expect. Dorne was heavily criticized last season, so there's been considerably less Dorne scenes. Obviously most people expected Jon to come back and he did. A lot of people wanted to know what happened to Benjen, and he's back despite GRRM saying that Benjen and Coldhands weren't the same person. We're also finally getting into the origins of Jon Snow's parentage through flashback scenes. Technically, that should have been in S1 via Ned Stark's dreams. I think now that we're getting these flashbacks from Bran, we could potentially get a flashback of Beric sacrificing himself to revive Stoneheart. That would be the easiest way to explain that situation. My guess is that perhaps Septon Ray was a former Frey soldier, which would explain why they hung him. I can't explain why they slaughtered the rest of the people. Even though the Brotherhood goes on a darker path, they're not that sadistic.
Jun 11, 2016 Spoiler Im just wondering how they gonna explain the Brotherhoods lack of involvement since the revival of Cait. The seeds are now in place tho with Jamie, Brieanne, Freys ect all being in one place. Bringing back too many dead characters this season, Hound & Jon already back. S4 would of been perfect but it was never set up smh
Jun 11, 2016 If in the previously on Game of Thrones opening they show that scene from S01E02 with Ned telling Jon the next time they see each other they'll talk about his mother...s--- is about to get real.
