I​@@aureum7479 I agree the other narrative dragged on too long

[@Zei33]

I think this was probably one of the series’ best interactions. Tywin, who has respect for no man. Arya who sees him as a mortal enemy. The irony that having Arya as a daughter would’ve made him happier than his own children did. The irony of what his parenting style produced versus Ned Stark’s. There’s such an incredible dynamic in the narrative. It subtly, masterfully paints Tywin and the Lannisters as the bad guys without even alluding to it directly. Truly George has written a modern classic.

[@CleverName1]

You nailed it. Could not agree more.

[@michaelrunk5930]

​@johnflaherty810 Yea but the bulk of what was written came from GRRM. It was easy to make tweaks here and there and still make the show good. All though I had no problem with the last few season. We're they as good as the first 4 not really there still great moments. The final season felt a bit rushed and a little watered down. Yet it wasn't nearly as bad as every one made it out to be. Fans should be glade they got anything because they could have maintained the writing and then after season 8 just out right canceled the show and left fans hanging. At least in this way we got an ending. Also I'll be blunt they should have never made Game of Thrones with out the booms being completed first.

[@davidfawcett3144]

Charles Dance said in an interview that he really enjoyed acting in the same scenes as Maisie Williams. I can see the twinkle in his eyes during that conversation. It really makes me smile. 😁

A predator recognizing his kin. Arya was Ned Stark's daughter and loved him, but she was way smarter than he was. She knows honor was important, but that dead honourable men are... well, dead. She learnt a lot from her father and brother's demise. Learn, wait, strike. What she said to Tywin can be interpreted both as a veiled threat and a realistic statement. No matter who you are, your mortal.

Probably but he also saw her intelligence so if he did that’s why he let it slide. He gives her little tests too like eating food she’s got for him etc. I like to think he saw Arya as the daughter he wished Cersei was and I would’ve loved to see his reaction to finding out she was Arya stark since he actually liked her about as much as Tywin’s liked anyone

[@Eva-ed4ed]

@@joshuarobinson6011I disagree, because he is not a sentimental man, he is ultimately pragmatic. He sees people as the value they can give them, and what Arya can do is offer him some entertainment in that shithole. He likes Arya because she is intelligent and pragmatic and he respects that, but nothing more. If she was his daughter he would have married her off anyways. If he had known she was Arya he would have used her to win the war. Nothing more.

[@casdpasd3032]

I thought the same till i read the booka. House dustin of barrowtown were loyal northmen. But the lord, lady dustins husband died fighting arthur dayne and hightower.

Yes, he did have the suspicion with how a stonemason and his daughter could've had the luxuries of literacy, geography, and how Arya had the manners of a nobleman's kid. If Tywin had just a little more time with Arya, he probably could've uncovered her identity. She was very lucky, lol.
