So I read the final #Brienne chapter of #AFeastForCrows last night. It's a fine chapter, and I can see why the fandom has been tying itself into knots over it's ending for the last...19 years.
That said...I absolutely hate how it wraps up. I'm not an author, and I don't want to sound like I'm telling George how to write but 'a word' just doesn't feel right you know?
So we were (re)watching #GameOfThrones season 7 episode 4 last night, which is the one that has the marvelous sparring encounter between #Arya and #Brienne of Tarth. This morning I wanted to watch it in #slowmotion, but had to settle for this on YouTube, with the speed manually set to 50%. Watched it three times like that. Wow. What a masterpiece of #stagefight choreography.
The dagger move Arya uses here is the one she ends up using against the #NightKing.
