First off, Littlefinger seemed to super easily drive a wedge between Sansa and Arya. I get that they were not close as kids, but come on; it can't be THAT easy can it? Also, their brother can LITERALLY SEE EVERYTHING, so why don't they, I don't know, ask him what the hell is going on? I find Arya to be very arrogant and irritating this season. I kind of want Jaqen to kill her because "a girl has given the gift too many times, for reasons that are unjust," or something like that. She has really missed the point that killing for revenge/fun has to have some sort of consequence (besides camping with Ed Sheeran).

I agree about Arya being painted as arrogant this season. Unless it's a ruse to draw out Littlefinger but she's almost like a villain in a bad episode of Scooby Doo that tells the gang how she did it before getting caught. Maybe the intent is to show how much her character has grown and transformed into a soldier like Ned as she wanted to be as a child and how she has achieved her goals unlike Sansa who wanted a comfortable life as a queen to a king. Now she is in the position as the leader instead of playing with pretty dresses and needles. Then the pissing contest of who had it worse out there with Sansa suffering at the hands of many men and Arya and her journey being sent off and trained and almost killed by the Waif.

I'm still bothered by the cameo by Ed Sheeran too.
