I assume it was done so that he would look like he was doing something rather than just sitting on his ass, even though what he was doing was entirely pointless.
Melisandra, Theon and Jorah would have liked to have a word with you but they’re all dead.
Obviously I’m not seriously expecting that Arya is really the waif now, that would be ridiculous - hence the smiley face that I’m still waiting for the reveal. But for a reveal in series 7 I think it would have fit well with the original spirit of the series. As clairobscur said:
As for the reason? We’ve had no coherent account of what the Faceless Men are all about in the story as told, but as much as anything they appear to be a cult of death. As again alluded to in the rest of clairobscur’s comment, I think it makes perfect sense that after killing Arya they view it as a spiritual obligation to take on her “list”, to take the lives of those she wished dead.
Early in S7, after “Walter Frey” peeling off his face to reveal that he’s Arya, it would have been a superb mindfuck to have a subsequent reveal where “Arya” peels off her face to reveal the waif.
No, he agreed under duress to enter Riverrun and order his men to surrender it to the Lannisters/Freys. What happened to him after that we don’t know.
The Blackfish was killed, by “mere soldiers” as someone put it. We don’t see his death on screen, it’s just reported to Jaime and commented on later by lord Frey.
Your husband might be mixing up the books and the show.
Seems like she’s the only suicide in the show, and even so hers is maybe the only story that wrapped up nicely before it ended. She was so damn done, and it showed so much that all I could feel when she melted away was, “Yeah, it’s time for you to hang it up.”
I don’t get why people keep calling it a suicide. Also Tomnen was the first suicide.
Melisandre took action to end her own life. Not sure why it would be called anything else. But yeah, forgot about Tomnen, unsurprisingly.
So apparently Walder Frey mentions that Edmure is back in a cell after he surrendered Riverrun. Unclear what the Frey women did with him after Arya kills the men.
Summer pretty much was the full protector of Bran on his long long travels through Narnia.
They didn’t give much to Lady, died too early. Nymeria got chased off at that point (Aryas), and was met in the show leading a wolf pack of normal wolves.
The got wiki lists them as intelligent, and the size of a small horse.
Grey Wind fought battles alongside Robb Stark in the Riverlands.
Ghost has featured saving Sam, protecting and alerting Jon to danger in and around the wall.
So in effect a battle wolf·
Cue porno music.
By that reasoning everyone who fought was a suicide, she did her part in the battle and it cost her life.
I think the removal of her Fountain of Youth Charm was a clear indication that she was choosing to die before the dawn.
I wasn’t going to say it.
Edmure agreed to order the surrender of the Tully troops and Riverrun in return for Jaime promising to allow him and his son to live out the rest of their lives in comfortable captivity in Casterly Rock. As soon as Jaime left, Walder Frey ordered him thrown back in the dungeon but said he wouldn’t kill him because he was his son-in-law. We don’t know if Frey also slaughtered the surrendered Tully troops.
Edmure presumably would have still been in a cell at the Twins when Arya slaughtered the Freys, but there was no mention of him then. If Arya freed him, he’s been very quiet up until now.
Jaime allowed Brienne and Pod to escape from Riverrun by boat, but Edmure or the Blackfish wasn’t with them. That’s the source of your husband’s confusion. The Blackfish was said to have died refusing to surrender Riverrun, but it happened offscreen.
Stopped by a teenager with a pocket knife?
What action? She removed her collar, but we’ve seen that it’s not necessary for her to live, just to keep her youthful appearance.
She died either because she had exhausted her “magical energy” during the battle, which isn’t suicide anymore than sacrificing yourself in battle, or simply because she had served her purpose and her time was up as she alludes to wrt Beric.
I don’t think she could have lived longer even if she had wanted to.
And in fact I find surprising to forget about Tomnen’s death. I found it a poignant scene within one of the most unforgettable episode of the series, and there’s no way I could forget it.

The episode gets better with rewatching. I caught some things I missed before, and could appreciate some of the staging since I wasn’t so involved with what was about to happen. I also watched it in a completely blacked-out room.
For all of our complaints about the tactics of the Good Guys, they were kinda constrained in what they could do. The Dothraki charge was unbelievably stupid, but what else could they do? They couldn’t NOT be in the battle, and the enemy was something that cavalry wouldn’t work against in any fashion.
The rest of the GG tactics were just winging it, and it showed.
Ooh, I like that. Perhaps even better would be replacing his golden hand with Wolverine/Freddy Krueger dragonglass claws - it seems like a lot of his weapons training would translate to something like fairly well.
