If you think TWD is one of the 2 best shows....... you gotta watch some more tv bro :).    Black Sails, Mr. Robot, The Americans, 12 Monkeys, Better Call Saul, Fargo, The Leftovers, Ray Donovan, Rectify, just to name a few that are better.

My only major GOT complaint now...

this was the story that wasn't afraid to kill Ned Stark and major characters....

but now...I think they are going the magic pixie dust route.  I mean Arya? After receiving a brutal gut job she then took a nap and went on a world championship  parkour run and then whipped a girl she never came close to out sparring.  Surprised at some point last episode she didn't slide underneath a dumpter 

But...but...she turned the lights out!!

Fargo is probably the most well-written show in a long time, even more so at points than GoT and absolutely better than TWD. Especially the first season of Fargo.

Breaking Bad is up there too.

But, as far as complete scope of work, etc. I think GoT deserves to be named the best show ever. One could also argue that the books are up there with the classics in the genre.

GoT will be one of the best for sure.  Along those lines are The Wire, Sopranos, The Shield, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc.  For dramas as least.

We don't know exactly how long she was with the actress.  It could have been days since they showed her getting stitched up and drinking the milk of the poppy.  So there could have been some time for minor healing and to regain some strength.  And Arya was leading the waif during the chase (wiping her blood on the walls was just not some accident because she was weak, it was intentional).  She knew she couldn't beat her in a straight fight, so she led her to where she would have the advantage.  Inside the chamber after turning out the candle is where all that time learning to fight blind proved useful.  Arya had mastered fighting without using her eyes, while the waif was literally blind as a bat and overmatched in that scenario.

For those complaining about Arya's arc, I agree that while it probably wasn't the most interesting recently, it was really just a big set up.  It was about showing her learning to do what they have planned for her the rest of the series.  How ridiculous would it be if they had Arya, after having been on the run for a long time, suddenly become a badass that can fight and beat experience and skilled fighters while somehow knowing how to sneak in and out of castles causing all kinds of havoc?  They needed the Braavos storyline to show how she became such a dangerous player, otherwise, it would have just come off as contrived and completely unrealistic.

We don't know she's a dangerous player though. Yes, she killed the waif, but we didn't see it. They need to show her being a badass before the season ends.

I think it's a pretty safe and logical assumption. She was already a badass for an untrained young girl before going to Braavos, but now that she has had training and learned the skills of an assassin, she's clearly going to someone to be reckoned with.

And while they might show something in the next two episodes, I think we'll see the real payoff for her training next season.
