I feel like killing the Night King qualifies as this. Her convo with The Hound has shifted her focus to looking forward and discovery as opposed to living in the past and stewing.

Thats fair but back to why is she the one to kill the night king. was never on her path.

Strange choices.

Night King represented death, which she trained to be in service of and rejected. “Not today.” Fits her path

He once walked into Mance Rayder’s tent to kill him, knowing he would be killed immediately for it, because it would scatter the free folk. He’s always done this

obvi

The very end with Jon looking back was the perfect way to end it

Just finished a rewatch.
They’ve literally set the table to come back to all of it in a few years. After an arya spin off series


Just heard there’s a GRRM short story about a girl travelling in strange lands. It’s heavily implied it’s Arya

Hbo have the right to do whatever they want

Arya basically stole Elissa Farman’s story from Fire and Blood

Because no fairy tale endings, that’s why.

Life is what happens while you’re making other plans.

The person pushing hardest for this will be Kit Harrington, when he's hard-up and destitute and can't land any other good roles.

He'll be the latest victim to the "career defining" character that no one can get past, much like his predecessors Mark Hammill, Elijah Wood, Daniel Radcliffe, Mark Paul Gosselaar, and Jaleel White.

Do we need to do that thing again where we dunk on you for supporting something shady, like when you said Varys had done nothing wrong?

There may never be another show like it where every one watches it in the same 12-24 hours period.

That's silly. People said the same in 91 with Twin Peaks. And again in 06 with LOST.

We're fine.

We’ll easily be on PJ album #11 by the time the next great show comes along by these standards.

Spoiler: show

Or will we?

Her act is perfection. If we take out S8E5, which is nonsense. And clearly D&D are okay with us doing that as it regards Arya because they completely ignored it themselves in S8E6. Take out that one ep and her arc is sublime.

Arya is everything.

This.

Except, again, take away that convo and we still have the same story.

It's a completely different TV landscape now with all of the streaming options and number of scripted series.

I've been kinda sad all day cause this dumb show is over.

I couldn’t imagine watching this show in a bar with a bunch of people
