Terry is an insane death motivated freak!

The kindly therapist even said that it was the worst house she'd ever been in after the show was produced.

Complete and total horror show, so funny and interesting.

While many reviews I see on IMDb talk about the show being inconsistent ("I liked this episode much more than the last 4! Show was getting boring") I generally love almost every episode. I enjoy slower scenes as long as they further character arcs and their plots against each other, which they almost always do. This is one of the 3 or 4 episodes I would rate below an 8/10. And since this is the very worst episode of the series I think a 5 is justified.

"No One" focuses heavily on the culmination of Arya's Braavos adventure, the worst plot line of the entire series besides the horribly implemented Sand Snake garbage. I enjoy the city and culture of Braavos, but 80% of the time we have been stuck in the Faceless god's shoddy cathedral, and for these last two seasons it has been apparent that none of these events are going to have any impact on the metaplot. None of these characters are going to come with Arya back to Westeros, unlike with Danyeris where at times the plot seems completely separate from Starks/Kings Landing/The North, at least you know with Dany she is going to cross and bring many of her plot threads with her.

These two seasons of Arya have basically just been about building her character up into a more ruthless killer, but all you have to do is go back to season 4 and see that she is quite a capable killer already on the road with the Hound. Her character doesn't develop emotionally, she resolutely is still the same vengeance driven victim she was from season 2 on. So basically I am saying Arya's two seasons in Braavos are filler, and this poorly directed, convenience driven action finale does nothing to redeem the arc.

Edmure Tully has been characterized as a incompetent weakling but no precedent has been made that his character would willingly betray his families honor and sacrifice his Uncles life for the life of a baby that he has never seen and was conceived though an enemy trap. The siege on Riverrun is never shown, we get one shot of the Blackfish unsheathing his sword in a stairwell, and he is killed off screen. Arya's final duel with the Nameless Girl occurs, OFFSCREEN! We have to suffer through another "Tyrion doesn't know how to relate to his former- slave advisors!" filler scene. One was enough. The fact that we haven't seen Tyrion in 2 episodes, and then this one has two quick scenes (one being filler) before the city is being sieged just emphasizes how little material they had for Tyrion this season.

I like Tyrions line about being the "Most famous Dwarf in the World," I like that Jaime gets to embrace his dark side which we haven't seen since season 2. I also enjoyed Pof and Bronn's reunion. The scenes of Cersei being further diminished are adequate. And also there has been a pattern set for the 8th episode being monumental (Hard Home, Viper v Mt), this one was a huge letdown.
