She realised being a tamed beast wasn't the wolf anymore, and heading north wasn't for her anymore. She needs to live a different life This makes sense, I was struggling to see the point of that scene but this fits. I was semi-hoping she'd become some Mowgliesque character and command a pack of Direwolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted July 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2017 If we are getting Clegane Bowl then we may have to wait. The Hound is going north to fight the Night's King and there is no way The Mountain is leaving Kings Landing at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hound is going north to fight the Night's King and there is no way The Mountain is leaving Kings Landing at the minute. Oh yeah I'm well aware that it could be a case of waiting until the final couple of episodes. I was just meaning that if Arya was the one to take out The Mountain it would be a major letdown. Mountain & Hound haven't had any interaction since they had that sword fight at the Hand of the King Tournament in Series 1. Since then Mountain has died and been brought back as an unstoppable killing machine, and having he and The Hound fight it out to the death this time with Hound going over is the only way to go. I'm picturing Hound returning to King's Landing declaring "fuck the queen", calling back to him leaving the King's Guard in the first place, to which The Mountsin gets sent in to take him out. I know that had a couple of interactions in Series 3, but not enough to warrant Arya being the one to end him,  I know he made the list but still. It would be like if the Night King was taken out by Jorah, to not pay off that fight and Mountain burning his brother from when they were kids would be a massive "fuck you" to the audience. You could go with Mountain about to kill Arya and have Hound make the save, having him come full circle to pay off his relationship (not that kind) with Arya. Obviously this is all just fantasy booking on my part, but Mountain falling to the hands of 15 year old Arya (or however old she's meant to be), whether she's wearing someone else's face or not, I just can't see as being anything other than a disappointment Edited July 27, 2017 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted July 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 The "Peel Face Reveal" took so long for Arya to learn @WyattSheepMask but has to be booked sparingly I agree. There are certain things that have to be paid off properly. Clegane Bowl is one for sure. For me Jamie killing Cersei is another. Also at some point Littlefinger has to go, not in a straight out murdered way, but in a finally politically out maneuvered way where he doesn't see it coming because he thinks he is ahead of the game but he really isn't.

Recognising her but not serving her to reinforce the line that she's not turned into a completely 'faceless person' (like when she didn't straight up execute Ed Sheeran & his mates) but has still changed enough. I think she's still heading north though, she'll either meet Jon Snow on the road as he travels south or get to the wall & unexpectedly link up with Bran.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I think with the pace everyone gets around now and the fact everyone seems to have realised boats are quicker than walking, there are no interactions off the table. That Hound fantasy booking is quality though. I reckon there's definitely a traitor in the midst with Daeny. That pointless delayed grilling of Varys and Diana Rigg planting the seeds for her to tell Tyrrion to shut up along with the boat ambush looks like it's leading to something. I reckon when we finally get the lovely incestuously charged show down  between Jon and Daeny, Jon will somehow get thrown to/faced with the dragons and come out of it unscathed leading to his big reveal.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) The Nymeria/Arya scene is storytelling at its most basic. And not in a bad way, but it's weirding me out seeing stacks of different interpretations to something which seemed really on the nose. Nymeria was forced out into the world on her own, and though she survived, she's harder now, through the things she's had to do, and can't go back to being a pet; to how she was. You know, like Arya. She's not magically going to be Ned Stark's little girl again just by going to Winterfell. She's a killer now. You can never go back home, and all of that.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't think that's in doubt is it? It's more the question over whether that realisation will make Arya abandon her decision to head back north or whatever else it will mean to her and how it will affect her motivations.
