IMO, Gregor Clegane is the Luca Brasi of Westeros, a murderous brute that is totally dedicated to his master, in this case, either Qyburn or Cersei.

Arya Stark, on the other hand, seems to be channeling Hannibal Lector, but without the questionable dining habits.
Arya will figure it out, and she and Sansa will run a con on Little Finger, and finish him, just as he begins to think he has it all going his way.

Of course he knew how to use those long spears. Arya would have to get much closer, and that is very dangerous.
The Mountain wouldn't even use a sword. He'd walk up to Arya and pull her apart by her limbs.

He'd have to catch her, first.

He looked formidable as ever last season when those sparrow monks tried to take Cersei to answer a summons from the High Sparrow.

Arya hadn't been through training at that time. She would have had a hard time with an escape without having a face (Tywin's?) to wear.

Eating no, but cooking? Yes.

Tough but no display of speed yet.

When Thoros of Myr got mauled by the bear, that was another name removed from Arya's list. The Hound was on it, but I am assuming he has been removed since she had the chance to kill him and walked away.

So that leaves Cersei, Mellisandre, Beric Dondarrion, Ilyn Payne and Gregor Clegane.

A totally wow scene for me too. I felt so sorry for the dragon (Dani's WMD)


So far with this season, most of my favorite scenes have involved the dragons. I've watched those parts repeatedly with awe.

I mean, she's hot like a young Catlyn, but malleable and easy to make into one's pawn.

At least at this point, she is aware of the danger of others taking advantage of her, is skeptical of their motives, and she is trying to be wise. She's doing her best, but she's bound to have a lot of self-doubt.

Girl needs some therapy.
She's also very young (even in the show, where she's older than the books). She was what, fifteen or so at the start of the series? And it's been a few years, so maybe 17 or 18? Girl doesn't even have a fully grown frontal lobe of her brain yet. I'm willing to cut her some slack as long as she's making progress.
