I vaguely remember hearing that Tracy Morgan made a commentary track for season 2 and sold it for some charity thing. I don't know if he actually did and if it is possible to find it anywhere, but maybe you could google that poo poo if you want to.

What happens if the big fight ends in a tie (which I guess could only happen if they both die)? Is Tyrion still guilty? Innocent? Mistrial? I'm hoping one of the Stark daughters will get going on something. Arya's list is shrinking a lot while all she does is recite it. Also, I just remembered, she has the Hound on it because he was on the dais when Ned got chopped, right? But so was Sansa. Not that I think Arya would kill her, but that leaves room for Arya to forgive the Hound. Which would probably be good, because he and Tyrion are the only people who have shown a noncreepy interest in keeping those two alive (and maybe Varys, though who knows what that dude is up to).

The Hound killed her innocent friend because of Joffrey. Pretty sure he's on it for that reason. Edit: then they killed Sansa's direwolf because they couldn't locate the one who bit Joffrey.

Lady Olenna who tried to get Sansa out of King's Landing via another wedding (even if it was inconsistent story-wise since Kingsguard can't marry)? Jaqen H'ghar? Beric & Co?

Or she owed the Red God a debt. Something like that. 4) She was Beric & Co's prisoner. Yoren owned. "You're not a very smart boy now are you?" Really though aside from Yoren I don't think anybody there was helping Arya simply for the sake of helping Arya. Sansa...well...poor Sansa

Yeah I don't think she knew about that either, which kinda of shows that earlier she actually did try to help Sansa by marrying her to Ser Loras and getting her out of King's Landing to avoid that whole poo poo show. But when that plan fell through she just said welp, and continued on at the expense of Sansa.

I just think that thinking of someone as your benefactor is complicated when they save you one day, then do something that could've got you killed the next. Not to mention, which part of the original marriage plan was really what was important to Olenna: Sansa's safety or giving the Tyrell family control of the North? Her willingness to sacrifice Sansa makes me think it's the latter.

I was pretty sure the original list was created from the people who were up there when her dad was killed, because it doesn't include a bunch of people that it otherwise might (Jaime Lannister being the obvious choice, for killing a bunch of Stark guards she certainly knew for years and crippling her dad). Mostly , I don't Arya killing the Hound, because he's the more interesting one of the two "path of redemption" characters. I forgot she killed Polliver, making it so she has officially contributed to removing list members. I'm a little bummed. bUm posted:No love for Yoren who stopped Arya from getting herself killed at the beheading and tried to return her safely to Winterfell? Nevermind that he taught her the whole pretend to be a boy that kept her alive well after he no longer was. Yoren is dead (otherwise I'd also count Ned and Cat Stark). Syrio was both being paid, and also is probably dead. Lady Olenna straight up set her up to take a regicide rap (or at least didn't give a poo poo if she did or not). Jagen was a weirdo assassin who owed her a debt and was perfectly willing to leave her to rot/die as freeing her did not fit within the scope of repaying that debt. Beric & co have proven themselves to be assholes just like everyone else, seeing as they literally sold Arya's friend to a blood-sacrificing witch, and would have done the same to her if Melisandre asked. Tywin? Are you kidding? He maybe was amused by Arya, but the minute he figured out who she was, he would've put her in a dark place and figured out how to best use her in his hilarious "I've actually planned and schemed so much it has started to backfire" plot. Same deal with Sansa, he kept Joffrey from hurting her too much because he wanted to use Sansa (like for example, by forcing her to marry his son he hates for political gain). Nothing creepy about that? Bobo the Red fucked around with this message at 22:10 on May 29, 2014 |

Santheb posted:1) Syrio was getting paid pretty handsomely I imagine. Just a dumb aside: Syrio could not have possibly gotten paid for saving Arya. He knew nobody would dare attack her unless Ned was somehow indisposed, and Ned was the one paying him. He saved her entirely on his own, which is why he was so heroic.

He's still pretty likely dead, and certainly removed enough from the story to not count towards the people out there who are protecting the Stark girls.

Well, he knew Ned was the Hand of the King and that the Kingsguard and Lannister men wouldn't be able to do something as bold as accost Arya Stark within the Stark compound in KL unless he was disempowered. Even though he tells her (at least in the show) to go and find her father, I highly doubt he thought he was in a position for her to get to at that point. And if any of those things were true, he wasn't getting paid any longer. All he had left was to protect his ward and not die that day.

Drifter posted:Last remaining seconds in that episode, you mean. Season 5: Arya goes to Braavos, is reunited with Syrio and Jaqen (maybe they are the same guy), and trains to be a sword-dancing faceless lady. Her scenes are all training montages, and becomes even more boring than Dany and Sansa's stories have ever been. Jon Snow has somehow stopped the wildling attack (or maybe the whitewalkers did), and is working on how the gently caress he's gonna hold this drat wall while also helping Sam be a dad, and dealing with his mean boss and angry girlfriend(sitcom style). Bran and friends continue going north, except that one kid definitely dies because look at how sickly he is (it's cold!), Sansa is essentially Lady of the Vale, having gotten married to Robin and/or Littlefinger, or she joins the Hound, Brienne, and Pod on a merry quest to... I guess Castle Black? They have sorta burned through all of the places where it is cool to be a Stark. Is Riverrun still standing? Stannis and co actually become a credible threat ($$$), Davos is either dead, or we are all wondering why the gently caress he is still on team blood crazy. Maybe they take out the Reach, since the Tyrells just broke guest right, and have it coming. The Lannisters are hosed because it turns out that being horrible to everyone is an awful long term plan; Tyrion fucks off (or escapes, depending on how the trial goes) to Dorne or Essos, because why the gently caress would he be anywhere near this poo poo, his scenes become him just chilling with naked ladies and smoking cigars. Varys spends all day just rubbing his temples from the endless headaches. Theon still sucks, and the war in the North between two sides who ideally all just die continues. Dany is still on the other side of the world, loving the inferior Daario and being mostly pointless. Edit: in case it is not abundantly clear, this is all speculation because I'm bored; I've never read any of the books. Don't read the custom title of this dude below me (or do the smart thing like the OP says and turn them all off), since that may be a spoiler; I have no idea if any of it is right.

Arya makes it to Braavos at the end of the season and is greeted by Syrio aka Jaquen. She will train and become a super killer assassin over the time jump between seasons and we will see her during the aftermath of all her training at the start of the new season.

Apparently people didn't read what I quoted very closely. Keeping them alive for ransom or for titles is not creepy: it's logical, intelligent, and makes absolute sense in the Game of Thrones universe (you win or you die; if you're upset by characters making selfish/logical choices over "happy ending" ones, you've come to the wrong place). Also alive or dead is of little relevance whether or not they helped keep them alive (in a non-creepy manner) whilst they were able.marktheando posted:Loras wasn't a Kingsguard since Renly was dead and no longer recognised by anyone as a king.
