I don't think you are correct.  We have seen them change faces, but has he been able to change size yet?  I don't remember that happening.  It would be an extremely interesting plot twist though. 

 

I think the Waif might have failed her test, but only because Arya survived.  Or maybe the assassins creed guys think she is dead, and that is how she is able to get away from them. 

Jaqen was wearing the Waif's face once, and her and Arya are about the same size.

and I have always felt Arya simply realizing she was a Stark and leaving.....wasn't enough to justify the time they took with this plot line.  She has to get more out of this experience to make it worthwhile

Arya appeared smaller, not as tall as the waif last night. 

 

But the more I think about, the more I realize you could be correct.  The money is certainly a question mark.  I am not sure where she might have gotten the money. 

[Bronn]

She could have easily got it via cutpurse method... I suppose...

But, it just didn't seem like Arya to me. She was overly arrogant with the Westerosi captain, and came of as a little egotistical.

When we last saw Arya, she was turning out the lights and appearing to hide out. I think she either knows more about the situation than she is letting on, or she is really afraid of the Faceless Men and hiding out.

If she is hiding out, I seriously doubt she just casually strolls down to the docks with two coin purses filled to the brim, with no defensive means, completely out in the open knowing that someone is going to be looking for her.

It is just out of character for her.

Yeah, there is a lot more to the Arya stuff that her being so dumb!  I like the idea that is was Jaquin paying her final debt so she could be free.  After all, he owed her the third name.  If it was Jaquin, this won't kill him either.  Unless the Bravoos line is completely sewn up.

I appreciated the Jon and Sansa scenes.  I think it was funny seeing how Jon is recieved, considering who he is and what he did with the Wildlings.  Jon truly has his heart in the right place, and I look forward to seeing how his parentage is revealed and his role at the resolution of the show.  The problem is Jon is not mean enough, just like Ned.  He is Ned's proper protege.  Except he came back!

I wonder if there is going to be some way that the Blackfish is able to trick Jaime and his army, and bug out of Riverrun.  I don't see a siege happening. I mean, the whole Lannister army is on one side of the river, but who is on the other?  I can totally see them slipping out, leaving Riverrun for them, heading to the Twins and taking that one.   And serving up some good ole' fashioned vengeance!

I will say I'm a little sad that show is in it's twilight.  All good things must come to an end.  I'm also looking forward to seeing what Martin is able to do with the books (if they are ever finished).

Oh, it's good the see the Hound PISSED!!!  This should be good and bloody!  Clegeane Bowl is coming!!!

EDIT:  Oh, check out the gizmodo summary comments.  There is some good stuff in the comments below the review!

Gizmodo always does a great review and has very knowledgeable commenters.

I'm pretty sure that there won't be much left of the Brotherhood Without Banners once a certain log splitter gets hold of them.

GET HYPE! The hound is back!

Arya tho?!??! I'm guessing that wasn't really Arya, as she was totally unprepared for that attack, I didn't see Needle, and where did she get all that money?

I'm guessing it was actually Jaqen, and the Waif failed her own test.
 

That's what I was thinking, too. It didn't walk like Arya or talk like Arya. But it did prove that the Waif was emotional, vindictive, and sloppy.

The Waif always seemed to walk with her arms behind her much like Arya did walking through the market.

His wounded trek (as Arya) probably takes him to the real Arya in hiding.  Letting her know she passed his tests and gives her some secrets or passes the torch. Maybe the potential he saw was for her to be him

Interesting.  I'm curious how that would work out.  Did she fail at becoming faceless?  Or did she pass (surpass) because she used mercy on the actress?  And the Waif is really the one who is supposed to lose?  The rabbit hole is very deep as far as the Faceless Men...

Whatever the reasons and reactions to this moment, I wonder if Arya is going to be the one to kill Tommen?  To finish Cersi's prophecy?  Wouldn't that be terrible because Tommen is actually decent and nice like Myrcella?

Change of thought! Uproxx just posted an article This Theory on Arya and the Waif May Be the Best GOT Theory Ever.  I'm all in on that.  I'd post a link but the link gives away the theory and people might not want to read it.  Go to Uproxx and read it.

Yeah I read that and another and they are both outstanding. But sometimes fans have better imaginations than the show creators. I'd be pleased with either.

It's just EXACTLY like Martin to do something like that... great theory, hope it's true.

That's interesting...major rabbit hole...

Honestly, with people who can change faces and identities at will, who really knows what's up.  Maybe Arya was really killed off and Jaquin has taken her body?  Or maybe all the Starks are really OK, and will coming riding to save the world from Winter...

(OK, that was bad, really bad!)
