The lengths people will go to defend shitty writing astounds me.
With modern medicine maybe. If the painkillers were doing their job she would be too groggy. I dont think she was under the influence at that point.
In a life-and-death situation? Certainly not unthinkable.
This pisses me off to no end. When even your long-term, 6-seasoned actors are telling the production and writing crew that this feels off, you should probably give it a second thought.
Posting what happens in the show instead of willfully ignoring it to make snarky internet posts. It's a mad world.
If you want to bitch about Arya wandering around without a care in the world last week after defying a secret assassin's guild I'm right there with you. If you want to pretend that the actress wrapped her in a dirty bath towel and Arya's all better so you can have another "20 good men" meme then I will have to disagree.

Unthinkable is exactly what that is. I think you are severely underestimating how much would get fucked up if you were stabbed in the stomach multiple times. You're going to be bleeding everywhere internally and several vital of your organs are now permanently damaged. With modern medicine you might survive, but running and jumping when stitches are holding your insides together is going to be extraordinarily painful. Arya didn't get the benefit of modern medicine, we don't even know if she got stitches. It is ridiculous that she's alive, but to be running and jumping? lol

Not buying it. It was a league of assassins she walked out on. You really think she wouldn't have thought maybe there was some danger associated with that decision?
Yeah, that's awful, especially since the stunts were second-rate.
I didn't like the Waif, but I don't think it's the actress's fault, necessarily. She was written like shit when she was maybe supposed to be the jealous ex-favorite student or something like that.
Tell that to this guy.
Life-and-death and a huge adrenaline rush can make a human do impossible things.
Will it hurt like a motherfucker once your adrenaline levels go down? Sure. But is it unthinkable for a wounded person to do extraordinary things they couldn't normally manage? Not a single doubt in my mind.

With all respect to that man, it's a lot easier to stop your arm from bleeding out than it is to live without your vital organs working/bleeding. Yes, there are situations where adrenaline can help you when facing severe injuries, this was not one of those situations.

Not in medieval times. If she was healed by magic fine, it's happened before. But that looked like non-magic to me.

Guys, don't forget Arya wasn't only stabbed in the stomach a few times and had her vital organs injured, she also dove into the canals of Braavos for an unspecified amount of time - at least enough for the Waif to think she's dead and to swim to a different place.
The canals of Braavos, where people toss their piss and shit and filth into.

In the books, that would likely be the death of the character, or at least crippling illness.
In the show? Eh. She's motherfucking Arya Stark, dawg, and she's got
I have gotten better about separating the book logic from the show logic...but I really miss the grounded and dangerous feel of the first few seasons. It felt, tonally and logically, not far removed from the books.
Show logic says that stabbing someone repeatedly in the stomach means they die. They're just shitty writers.

Plenty of time for her health regen to kick in, for sure.

A part of me is starting to believe in the tower of joy Lyanna gives birth to twins....Jon and Daenaerys.
I don't know how it would explain Viserys memories or if there's an age gap I am missing but I just feel there's more to Jons birth than we think.

- 8 photos from Sunday's episode via Watchers (please spoiler tag any discussion)
Why did she even go back there? Seems like an extremely stupid idea.
"Great, I managed to kill my would-be assassin. Since Jaqen doesn't know she's dead, I have ample time to escape the city without anyone coming after me. Or... I could go back to the House of Black and White, and brag about killing her to Jaqen's face! That'll show him!"

Chances Tormund will bite the bullet? I could see him going out in a blaze of glory.
She knows she has to pay the debt, if the faceless men don't know what happened to Arya and the Waif they will send someone else to kill her.

Onion A|V Club's weekly Polite Fight video feature:
- Arya turns classic chase-scene pacing into a trap on Game Of Thrones
- Arya turns classic chase-scene pacing into a trap on Game Of Thrones
Arya knows the faceless men better than they ever could.
Because if she didn't go get some sort of resolution she would never know that she was free from being killed.
She already tried just leaving by booking the first ship to Westeros and in that brief period of time between the going to the docks and returning to her hide out she was tracked down and stabbed.

Did they really kill off Lem Lemoncloak within two episodes? I just don't see the point of him in the show.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I still don't get why the Faceless Men appear to have 2 total employees and one of them is never actually doing anything but standing around in this cool-looking crypt thing.
Times are tough. The Faceless Men had to let the seasonal assassins go in the downturn.
They had to construct a way to free the Hound from his peaceful retirement. I loved how people theorized all week why the BwB had gone bad only to find out it was just three bad seeds. Clever storytelling, guys.

That synopsis is some next level stuff, Matthew Weiner would be jealous.
My guess is that
Dany surrenders Meereen to the slavers before her army kills them all, and Jon will not surrender to the Boltons.

Just watched the last episode, I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking the whole Arya arc was fucking amateur hour in both writing and directing.
After all, it has been years since she had a good sword fight.
'My name is grey worm, because my cock was chopped off and it shriveled up like little grey worm!'
Cuts to tyrion laughing and drinking wine for the remaining 40 mins of the episode.
Wun Wun's inevitable death here is going to make me sad.
Really?
