Mhm. Biggest dissapointment of the season.

I don't even understand how she can switch faces now. That wasn't shown to her by the Faceless Men, right? They just gave them to her.

Arya's plot now officially sucks in the show. Not that it was ever very good. But nobody thought it would be about her killing the people on her list. At least I did not. I thought she might actually do something of importance and involve herself in politics one way or another. By getting an assignment to kill somebody.

Sure, she should eventually see her family again. But that is just crap.

Yep. I think Arya, Mel, and the BwoB will be meeting up shortly. 

And what's the point of that? To kill Melisandre when Davos could have done it already?

No, Mel will help arrange the alliance between Jon and Dany.

I bet you a similar thing will happen in the books

Arya stated that she was going home. I think she will find Nymeria (come on HBO, get your CGI budget together, it's worth it!), and meet Melisandre on the way back to Winterfell to reconnect with Jon and clash with Sansa. You know the sisters need to have it out about their dad. 

Arya could meet up with the Brotherhood, but I don't see her joining them. She doesn't want to be part of a group. She is a solo assassin. I think that even after she gets back to Winterfell, she won't stay there long. Too many more people to cross off her list.

I don't see her going to King's Landing yet.

Cersei has to be cast down by a younger more beautiful queen first. Then her younger brother kills her.

So there is still quite a lot of water to flow under the bridge still.

Like Margaery?  Cersei was locked up and then made to walk the streets naked when Margaery became queen.  I think that part could be considered to be fulfilled.

!!! If Mel meets with Arya I somewhat doubt it will be just so that Arya can cross her off the list.

I really doubt it. Catelyn will take care of the Freys. We know the Prologue will feature an attack on the Lannister men escorting Edmure and Jeyne, so we can reasonably assume that Tully restoration will begin very early in TWoW. Riverrun will fall at once due to infiltrating by the Brotherhood. If they have Riverrun then the Riverlords will unite, free the hostages Jaime foolishly commanded to be sent to KL, and attack the Twins.

Story done. Arya is not needed for any of that. Her wolves might feature in the story, helping her people (say, perhaps saving Edmure in the Prologue) but she doesn't have to be there in person. As things stand she would most likely come too late for the action, anyway.

In the books, Arya will have at least a couple of chapters continuing her training with the Faceless Men and unlike the show this will actually involve some revelations.

But in the End i think, she will end up in Westeros killing People from her List.

Unless they change something for the show, the books have hinted that Jaime will possibly be the one to kill Cersei (as Cersei is convinced its Tyrion, but in reality, Jaime is technically the little brother to Cersei).  

With that said, I don't see Arya being injected into the Jaime/Cersei storyline.  There really is no reason for it to happen, outside of Cersei being on her list.  She has other storylines that make more sense to fall into, such as running into The Hound, or Brienne, or just high-tailing it back to Winterfell.  All these make slightly more sense to me then her going to KL, where Jaime is the primary focus right now.

Surely they'll change something, and now that you said it, in the show no mention of that part of the prophecy was done so it might happen that neither Tyrion nor Jaime are killing Cersei.
Perhaps it'll be Arya and I insist with her because after yesterday's episode it was made clear that she seeks revenge (as they all do). Walder for killing mum and Cersei for killing dad. If she encounters the BwB (which is possible since they are near and it would be a Hound/Arya plot resolution) I perfectly see them, or just the Hound, joining her to the south... it might lead to that Cleganebowl many fans are expecting for... and we know how fan-servicing D&D were in this last episode.

I just don't care. That Arya stuff in the Twins was ridiculous. In the books Catelyn will put down the Freys. All of them. Not Arya.

But since there's no LSH, someone had to avenge them.

Yeah. Lady Stoneheart and Nymeria are only thinning the herd. Arya will be the one to end Lord Frey, and probably just like she did by feeding him the last of his line in Frey Pie.

 

Since its obvious the Lady Stoneheart ship has sailed, IE been a year since the Red Wedding, Arya will take on that role plus her own. Hopefully, in the show, she will reunite, next, with Nymeria and I expect her to run into the BWoB, the Hound, Gendry, Brianne etc.

Well, this was the crappiest way ever. Are now all the Freys dead or what? Are we supposed to believe Arya herself made herself some Frey pies? If so, why the hell did she do all that? How does she know these two played crucial roles in the Red Wedding? Why didn't she just kill the old man as anybody with half a brain would do?

Ha. Yes. You would think that at some point between killing Black Walder and the other one, grinding them up which must have really taken hours, and then making the pie....putting it in the oven to bake for, what, like 3-5 hours, then slicing and serving....not to mention killing some woman and cutting her face off so she could wear it (unless she brought a bag of faces from the HoBaW she would stop and say...ya know, I get why I killed them, but this seems like an awful lot of effort.

If she is to follow LSH steps then little does it matter if the Freys in the pie took roles in the Red Wedding. They are Freys.
And it would've been boring if she just killed him. I personally enjoyed a lot that scene, she is a faceless woman in Westeros ^_^

 

And there are many Freys to go yet. But it seems this season's plot was to show what happens when nearly all houses have no "leader". Few Lannister heirs, no Walder at the Twins, no weak dornish men to rule Dorne, no Tyrells...

So Dany will cast her down. She makes a last-ditch attempt to blow up the city. Tyrion comes at her with a sword but Jaime cuts across and cuts stabs her in the back as Cersei is screaming "Burn them all!".

I can see that actually.  It's complete role-reversal.

This time, it's a Targaryen that usurps the Lannisters from the throne, not the other way around.  The only common thread is that Jaime will wind up being the main "killer".
