No I didn't say that, it just took too long to get there and the payoff was weak with Waif getting it off-screen (yes, it was dark, we could have at least had sound) and then Jaquen's
reaction to it all lol

I don't see any of this having to do with budget though. They could have done a battle at Riverrun but it would have kinda taken away from b*stard Bowl. Blackfish off-screen and Waif off-screen deaths were done by choice.. I can see the dragon shyt being cut down maybe those are expensive.

Jaquen's reaction wasn't
, it was 
I'm amazed at how many people missed that. He's no one and not supposed to have any real attachments, yet he was rooting for Arya and never really expected her to become no one. He was proud of her in that moment.

exactly , he said the faceless gd requires a face and it cares not who. Arya provided him with a face
i think its implied time has passed just by them doing all this shyt. we havent seen little finger in like 3 weeks so maybe 2 months has gone by in the show
Absolut
Legal Bookie
the high sparrow and arya arcs are terrible and have taken up way too much time, khaleesi been doing the same shyt for like 4 seasons and its beyond old, tyrion doint absolutely nothing, pretty much everything going on with kings landing i couldnt care less about etc. a few funny death scenes and quips here and there, and a great final 10/15 minutes with the hodor and white walker sequence is all this season has been really. its not bad enough, like the walking dead became, where i bailed after several seasons, but this tread water for 7/8 episodes then have 1 or 2 good eps at the end of the season stuff the last couple seasons is quickly becoming stale

the main plot hasn't really moved much but i still enjoy the smaller, more character driven episodes just the same.
the first few seasons are more plot heavy and serve the world building while the later seasons further flesh out the characters. the same thing happened with sopranos.
eventually shyt will hit the fan, but until then i'm perfectly fine just further exploring this world and engaging in the lives of the characters. last night's episode was piff for me. really enjoyed it.

Someone wanna explain the punchline of Tyrion's joke?

Overall, I loved the episode and am loving this season.
A couple legit gripes, but a lot of the complaints I see are just silly.
Blackfish dying off screen is a legit gripe. They brought him back after 2 seasons. Reminded usv how G'd up he was. They def should've showed us how he died. That was an error.
The Waif/Arya ending is a legit gripe, tho not an error imo. From a fan perspective, they've been building up this confrontation for two seasons, we wanted to see an epic 1-on-1 fight sequence. However, I don't think it was an error because the Waif was genuinely a better fighter. In a fair one, she's gonna beat even a healthy Arya. A wounded Arya stands no chance. It made much more sense for Arya to lure her into darkness where she holds the upper hand. It was a great illustration of how her training paid off.
Most of the other complaints I'm reading are shyt. People wondering what was the point of Arya in Bravos
Clearly she just morphed into a master killer. Sure, the Waif was giving her that work, but most other foes don't stand a chance. She went from a weak little girl who only knew how to "stick 'em with the pointy end" to Arya Bourne! And now she's headed home!
People complaining that there was no point to Riverrun
That was big for the storyline. It got Jamie out of King's Landing, and resolved a major L for Sansa: they're not getting any help from the Tully forces. People seem disappointed there was no battle, well there was never going to be a battle of Riverrun, that was a siege. One that would've lasted 2 years if they went that route.
People complaining that King's Landing storyline doesn't matter
The very first scene of the series showed us that shyt was getting crazy beyond the wall, yet King's Landing has been a major outline and shyt that happens there has affected things at Castle Black. Just cuz you can't see how it will unfold, doesn't mean it doesn't matter, just sit back and enjoy the show. I get that people hate the High Sparrow, his soliloquies were getting dreadful, but hasn't had one in a minute. And it's undeniable he's playing the game with the skill of prime Bobby Fisher. Cersei showed her cards, and he pulled trump like a boss
When did Arya morph into this killer? Her scenes in Braavos showed her sweeping, rinsing dead bodies, going to poison the thin man--which she never did, brutally killing Meryn Trant a knight of the King's Guard BEFORE she had any fight training from the Faceless Men--leaving her blind which only served to give her the skills to kill The Waif a character she never would've encountered and had to kill had she never gone to the FM and that resulted in her ultimately leaving the FM--and then this season she just continuously got her ass beat by The Waif.
She was shown training with Syrio and learning from The Hound..she wasn't a weak girl who only knew how to stick em with the pointy end, she hasn't been that since literally the very moment that Jon said that to her and even then she already showed she was a skilled archer in the scene when she shoots over Bran's shoulder.
She was shown killing the Frey man that was talking about killing her family. She was already a very capable killer just from her limited training and the fact that she's a little girl extremely willing to kill giving her an advantage due to the element of suprise, and she has still done her most impressive and brutal killings prior to receiving her Faceless Man fight training--also the most relevant killings in regards to her story and character development. They didn't show anything that would indicate she's learned anything about being stealth. Sure she learned to fight blind/in the dark but that doesn't mean she knows how to magically sneak up on people now and pull off shyt like Jaqen did at Harrenhall to pay back Arya for saving him.
Everyone knows we're supposed to assume she's a better killer now, but they just spent two seasons accomplishing nothing that would indicate what invaluable skills she picked up from the FM, which should've been easy to do and extremely interesting to watch given it was one of the best characters in the show learning to become a shapeshifting assassin meanwhile she spent multiple episodes literally sweeping the floor and washing dead bodies. They took a potentially great storyline and made it two seasons of filler just to keep a fan favorite in the show and move her along towards the end game.
Littlefinger and The Knights of the Vale have been camped out at Moat Caitlin since episode 4.
Another time-related question: It feels like we’re jumping between storylines that have very vastly different lengths of time passing between each scene?
The timelines between the various storylines don’t necessarily line up within a given episode. For instance, the “Northern Tour” Jon and Sansa embark on would probably take a couple weeks, but Arya’s storyline over the past few episodes only spans a few days. We realized a while ago that if we tied ourselves in knots trying to make all the “story days” line up between all the characters the momentum would suffer.
