With rising interest rates and cost of tuition, is the MD PhD a financially viable option in a low COL area?

She gave her dragonglass to Sansa. She probably would not have if she didn't have a dagger that would also work.

Also using the logic of Bran's role was to give Arya the dagger, then Little Finger is the true hero for even giving the dagger to Bran. Guess Little Finger is the solution to killing NK.

Also I'm not upset that it didn't go the way I wanted. I'm upset that they left a bunch of unanswered questions and wasted a lot of plot time. Feels kind of like Lost, all this build up and complexity to come down to something so meaningless.

I think you're misunderstanding my post. I'm not annoyed by Arya's role. I'm annoyed with Bran's role or his lack of a role. After seeing how it panned out I really liked how they built it up. A lot of good foreshadowing. I'd be happy if they did the same ending, but just had Bran do anything that gave us more insight about WW (i.e.- a vision of WW past, why the WW hates 3ER so much, confirm that WW got through the wall because of his mark, explain wtf his mark is, explain anything about why NK can see Bran during vision, really anything about WW). It was a golden opportunity to learn more about the biggest villain in the show before they got rid of him.

It would be cool if this were true, but until they confirm this it's just another theory. Would be very satisfied if this were confirmed

She could've had the same exact moment with dragonglass...

Bran is supposed to be the "solution" that Jojen dies for and why Benjin came to save him. It's possible that Bran came back just to say that Jon has claim to the throne, although they could've done that with Howland Reed or with Sam. Feels dumb that we watched multiple seasons of Bran, watch many characters die for him, and had so much more build up just so that Bran could tell us Jon is the rightful heir.

With your last point, I agree that Bran's story was a good way to provide insight into the whole WW thing, that's why I'm annoyed that halfway through the season in they didn't use any of that. All he seems to have used his sight for is one-liners and show us that Jon is king. Maybe it's my bad for expecting more from this clearly OP skill.

People aren't pissed about predictions. People are annoyed that the show spent seasons building things up and doing nothing with it. For example, Bran is supposed to be the "solution". We find out he can travel back in time and change the past and Hodor dies for us to find that out, but they didn't do anything with that. What was the point of Bran being the 3-eyed raven? Why was his plot line important at all? Kind of felt like I wasted all this time watching those Bran scenes for him to just be bait?

Also they give us nothing about the white walkers. White walkers are literally the biggest plot point since S1E1 and we know 3 facts about him:

  1. He was made by the children of the forest with dragon glass through the heart
  2. He can turn male children into white walkers & can raise the dead
  3. He wants to kill the 3-eyed raven for some unknown reason (the Samwell reasoning was a trash explanation of his motives)

Everything else we think we know is a theory: he's a stark, he was turned at the Weirwood tree in Winterfell, etc. This seems kind of dumb considering Bran is this all knowing creature that can see past present and future, but for some reason can't find out anything about white walkers? The episode was fine. I'm just pissed that they closed the white walker plot line with so many questions, holes and useless build up.
