  1. Well, he's ENGLISH, does that even count as 'white' any more?

  2. I'd argue that's backwards: JON SNOW is the Gary Stu here, the secret heir to the throne that just happens to be the best fighter we know from the start of the show, who never loses, even when he DIES. By contrast, Arya has zero skills starting out, loses everything, starts over deciding to get revenge, and gains the skills she has over years of work and even torment, such as being blinded and abandoned, stabbed near to death, and having to kill countless people on her path to getting back anything she's lost. I hate the SJW/Metoo/identity politics bullshit as well, but I think too much of that is being read into this episode.

  3. Our underestimation of them in this very conversation proves it. Remember that in many parts of the world, child soldiers are very effective.

  4.    To be fair, this was the first time EVER that the Dothraki have lost. They're entirely undefeated from when we met them in the pilot episode.

  5. NO ONE is going to mention the death of Ser Jorah Mormont? That he fought to the death to fulfill his oath to his queen? That as a Knight he deserves the ultimate honors for fending off an entire army singlehandedly and redeems himself for all the wrongs of his past? Why are we ignoring this, the manliest, most macho part of the episode?

  6. Arya is needed to kill The Zombie Mountain, so that Jamie is clear to kill Cersei. Prediction made.

  7. Now wait, he's British, does that count as white? I thought only us Americans were evil white people these days.
