Anyone else think Arya really bungled her 3 name choices with Jacque?
I get the intention of naming the torturer first so it’s a death she could confirm immediately and it’s a more recent person she’s seen doing horrific things but I still feel like it was a waste of a name. Then that second guard who was about to expose her to Tywin, but that was stupid cause she should’ve rattled off her 3 names right away before it got to that dire point. And then wasting her last name on simply getting help escaping Harrenhal was kinda selfish when she could’ve done some big things
I feel like she shoulda just gone Joffrey, Cersei, and then maybe Tywin cause of the Lannister influence he holds. Only reason I’m unsure on Tywin is his death leaves her fate in Harrenhal very uncertain and skews more towards the likelihood of her dying. So idk maybe knock out Theon if she knew about everything he was doing, I can’t remember if she heard he took Winterfell in Tywins meetings.
What are your guys thoughts? Cause if the answer is as simple as “cause it’d be too easy and ruin the story flow”, then that means it’s lazy writing to add the character who grants 3 free deaths in at all if the deaths chosen aren’t gonna make total sense

This show was 8 seasons - did they know it was going to be 8 seasons from the start?
Obviously, there are people that were in the very beginning of the show that lasted through to the very end. I'm just curious, for a show like this, how do they keep people on? I guess I could ask this about other sitcoms and such, but I've always wondered(obviously outside of money), what gave them the ability to keep talent on for as long as they do in shows like this? Do they sign a contract at the beginning that you will be on this show as long as we would like you to? Or how does that work exactly.
I ask this because I think of other shows, like Last Man Standing, where 2 of the girls in the beginning of the show were replaced over the course of the show.

The year is 283 AC and Robert's Rebellion is over. But instead of Robert, you have been named King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and the First Men. Name your small council.

If Joffrey didn’t dismiss Sir Barristan Selmy. Would Sir Barristan listen to joffrey, even if he commands him to do terrible things.
It’s one thing going into battle when men are trying to kill you, however what if Joffrey command Sir Barristan to beat Sansa or kill babies, would he do it? In my opinion I say no, yes he swore an oath however I don’t see Ser Barristan going that low.

The Three Eyed Raven and Disney’s that’s so Raven
In GOT and That’s So Raven, both Bran Stark and Raven Baxter are Three Eyed Ravens— except Raven Baxter wasn’t given the proper training because she is a product of the 90s.
Also, she also wargs… Raven might be a Temporal Warg. Raven doesn't just see the future — in the show, she inhabits the moment. When she gets a vision, her consciousness briefly jumps forward in time, experiencing the event as her future self would, before snapping back. This explains why Raven often reacts emotionally to visions (not just watching them, but feeling them). She's occasionally able to change the outcome — not because she saw it, but because her actions in the past disrupt her original timeline.
Also, Cory in the show is a Skinchanger. Raven’s younger brother Cory is often found sneaking around, spying, or playing pranks — what if he's unknowingly a skinchanger who can slip into animals (mainly his pet rat, Lionel)? His uncanny ability to be in the right (or wrong) place at the right time mirrors how wargs like Arya and Jon connect with direwolves.
Also, The Baxter Line Is of the Blood of the First Men. Their psychic abilities suggest ancestral roots connected to an ancient magical bloodline. San Francisco, in this theory, is a “forgotten outpost” of Old Valyria-level magic, where a family of seers has settled and hidden from those who would exploit them.

Man they absolutely nailed the casting with Young Ned Stark. Was so convincing and the voice was immaculate.
