And on that front, Game of Thrones was definitely lacking. LetвЂ™s start at the end, which some would argue is the single most important element of any story.

Gwendoline Christie rewrites history in the series finale of вЂGame of Thrones.вЂ™Д«ut was the show that so loved good stories a good story in and of itself?

Depending on whoвЂ™s telling the story, any man can be a hero, a villain or an utter non-factor. And Bronn (now Master of Coin), is amused to watch Tyrion (again the Hand of the King) discover that heвЂ™s been entirely omitted from a history of the events of the series that shares a title with MartinвЂ™s books.

With some careful wielding of her quill, she turns it into a long, loving tribute to the man she believed to be a hero despite his many detractors. (More on that in a bit.) Ser Brienne of Tarth, newly promoted to lead the Kingsguard, studies the book about her predecessors and finds that JaimeвЂ™s entry is both skimpy and derisive. The importance of stories to the show plays out in the finale beyond TyrionвЂ™s choosing the next leader of Westeros based on who has the best story. (Sam winds up with a cabinet position essentially because heвЂ™s the first man in generations who bothers using a library card.) Weaker fighters like Tyrion and Sam survived and even thrived at the end simply because they knew all the old stories. The kingdom was bound as much by memory as might. But there was always a sense of the tongue, or the quill, being somehow mightier than the many impressive swords we saw swung over the years. Some of this was a matter of a monologue being cheaper to film than a massacre. But so much of this global phenomenon consisted of two people in a room swapping tales of the good old days, or the bad old days, or how they couldnвЂ™t tell one from the other. ItвЂ™s easy now, particularly when we consider the later seasons, to focus mainly on the Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, Avatar of Unearned Character Shifts spectacle of it all. Martin, but the series itself had long been defined by its love of storytelling. Not only had Benioff and Weiss been handed one hell of a ripping yarn by George R.R. She has become No-One, thus she can become whomever she wants to be.Flashback: Tina Turner Covers Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson on Debut Solo Album 'By defeating Waif, a mirror image of her old spiteful self, Aria finally discards her old self. She have learned the value of life, the compassion, the mercy,' user TwiceBorn wrote.

'Unlike the Waif, Arya have learned from her lessons by suffering as her victims had suffered. They also suggest that the Waif was not a good model for what the Faceless Men were really about, despite her apparent prominence in the hierarchy. Redditor Sao-GageВ found a post on the Wiki of Ice and Fire that suggests that the reason why Jaqen said this was because Arya symbolically killed her old, vengeful self when she defeated the Waif, becoming No One. One of the most confusing parts of last week's episode was when Jaqen told Arya 'now a girl is truly nothing,' a statement that doesn't really line up with the rest of her training in any way. They mulled over theories like 'Arya and the Waif are the same person' and 'Jaquen H'ghar was really testing the Waif, not Arya,' but they all turned out to be wrong, based on last week's episode, when Arya killed the Waif and quit the Faceless Men with surprisingly little resistance from Jaqen H'ghar.ДЇansВ are trying to create theories to explain away these inconsistencies - even though the real answer is that it's probably just some bad writing on 'Game of Thrones'' part.
