You're not suggesting the white walker is Arya are you?
I’m suggesting she’s the faceless man and she’s taken the face of that white walker.

I'm going to put on the nerd glasses and say that wow the show has completely ruined how the house of black and white works. Arya does not have magical powers. She can't just shapeshift into other people's faces.I’m suggesting she’s the faceless man and she’s taken the face of that white walker.
If it's not magical powers then what is it? Seemed pretty magical when she looked like Walder Frey that one time.I'm going to put on the nerd glasses and say that wow the show has completely ruined how the house of black and white works.

Thus why I absolutely despised that Frey plot line. It just seemed way beyond what is discribed in the books of how it works.If it's not magical powers then what is it? Seemed pretty magical when she looked like Walder Frey that one time.
Come to think of it, they have not explained how Arya's faceless powers work in a clear way at all. At least on the show. And it's kind of become a forgotten part of the story. I'll bet it shows up in a big way at some point in these last three episodes.
I don't think that was her as a White Walker in the last episode, btw.
You don't care that the Night King was killed in seconds with hardly any suspense, foreshadowing or struggle? Arya killing him isn't an issue at all, it's obviously badass as fuck, but definitely anticlimactic in the way the sequence was shot.

There is some magic involved, but she can't just take on any face in a moment.
This article is REALLY good at summerizing what happened, plus they called Arya killing the NK: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywoo...on-7-episode-6-bag-of-faces-faceless-man-arya

Fwiw, this is also why I don't care for where Arya's plot went in the books or in the show. This whole taking on faces thing introduced way too many issues, and room for all sorts of deus ex machinas as well.
Lol, I did not.So I take it you didn't like Terminator Waif?
But do recall they're actual physical faces, she had them in a bag last season. So if nothing else, she can't just snap her fingers and take on a face, even on the show.
If you read the article, I think it kind of explains how she's able to do those things. I still think her being Walder Frey was far beyond the abilities laid out in the book, but that's life, it's not perfect.I do recall they’re actual faces, to ehh h I was displeased, but said to myself “it’s part of the magic” that she takes the physical face of her victim. At no point in time is there any suggestion she has meticulously skinned a victims body, nor sat at a crafting table being an artist from another world.
And I won’t buy that if it’s supposed to be the case. She uses their voice.
I think I get the luxury of not having the book to compare to here.
I'm of the opinion, and hope, that the plot with the NK is NOT over. I'm probably in denial, but I can live with it.
This was probably not the show's first shark jump, but it was the point where I realized it probably wasn't being guided by the source material as much anymore. So damn goofy.So I take it you didn't like Terminator Waif?
Dany going Mad Queen on us and proving to be the big bad instead of Cersei would be a nice if not unpredictable twist.I’m not sure either. Someone is gonna turn evil. Bran. Arya. Dany. Got options...

Haha you son of a bitch. How's life? Let's hijack the Game of Thrones thread and turn it into a chat thread. It'll be the new Superthread. You, me, LeMel, Ashley. We can get Axver and Bonnie and all those people over here too.
Life is good. Just smoked a bowl, gonna go meet some friends for drinks. For some reason getting involved in the discussion on this thread got me feeling super nostalgic and I had flashbacks to when this forum was so much fun and so so active. I had a similar feeling when I went back and looked at the old LOST thread. And then I kinda tried to resurrect some talk about Community (the greatest show ever) but it didn't work.Hehe. Life is swell; I showed Em my trolling in this thread and she said Danny Boy's response to one of my posts was exceptional. How's life for you?
I never really take part in TV threads because I'm almost always behind
