711403, Not really feeling that Arya training in last night's episode

Didn't like the way Jaqen tested Arya. I get that he's trying to get her to lose her identity, but if he wants to assess her progress, he went about it in the worst way possible. When she hears the voice of her hero and is asked questions she knows the answers to, of course she's going to tell him what he wants to hear. That shouldn't have been enough to get her to the next level.

Jaqen, or the nameless or whatever, should have taken on the voice/appearance of an unknown stranger offering to help Arya by giving her food and shelter, and then subtly asking her name. That would have been a much better test and a better scene.

Oh, and that older girl is having too much fun beating up on a blind beggar. She's got to go.
