You should feel this way. They fucked it up.

Arya killing the night king made no fucking sense. They laid no groundwork for it. Why even have an azor ahai prophecy if this is where you're going to go?
Because prophecies are just prophecies

100% disagree.

Her entire arc lead to that moment and it was goddamn poetry in motion.
I'd agree with this statement if we were talking about her getting vengeance for the Red Wedding. Because that was a show decision that actually made sense.

I'm sure others will agree. But the was so far beyond redemption for me. There was no way he was coming back at all. For me, there was no redemption. He was a piece of shit and he didn't deserve to live as long as he did.
He’s done some bad stuff, but so has many others, like Dany and Jaime. He’s done a lot of good lately. You can’t really be redeemed without doing bad things. I’ll agree that someone like Kylo or Cersei is nearly impossible.

SO GOOD!

Arya's entire arc paid off. Every Arya scene mattered and reflected the journey.

I'll just say that Arya Stark is now my all time favorite character in literature. :heartbeat:

But did you spot the walking dead Maester Llewynn in the library?
I did not, no! Was he really there?

Yep. My other half spotted him and then I did later.
It’s blink and you miss it but he’s in there.


*while its still quiet and hasnt gone crazy yet and she’s sneaking
sorry, but pictures or it never happened. People sometimes see what they want to see in these cases.

I’m not watching again to find the time code but you can see him quite clearly.
Calibrate your enthusiasm

The only character you mentioned that is comparable, in my opinion, here is Jaime. I love the way they handled his character. I see a redemption for him.

Theon, absolutely not. In the books he still has a chance. But the way the show handled him, there's now way. He's a piece of shit and should have gone out ages ago.

Because Dondarrion sacrificed himself to save Arya so she could kill the NK? Does it actually matter that it didn’t not play out literally as the red witch (who was wrong about Stannis) thought?

Bran even said: «Thank you Theon. You are a good man.» Then he dies while trying to protect Bran. Can’t get much more redeemed than that.

“Melisandre had practiced her art for years beyond count, and she had paid the price. There was no one, even in her order, who had her skill at seeing the secrets half-revealed and half-concealed within the sacred flames. Yet now she could not even seem to find her king. “I pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai, and R' hllor shows me only snow.” “
