Well, I think that was always the point of GoT... stuff happens. Some of it goes somewhere, most of it doesn't. Maybe GoT is trying to tell us that life doesn't have much point and stuff doesn't always work out as we think. It's like life, with the boring bits left in. 😉

HBO have always kind of operated like that IMO. Things would fizzle out without any real closure. Like the Russian guy in The Sopranos.
I may need to rewatch the episode but I don't remember Arya having Needle with her during the chase scene. Which means she left it in that room knowing she'd go back there. Which would suggest that she went back to the actresses house because she knew the Waif would turn up to finish the job and she'd have to lead her a merry chase across town, although why she'd do that as opposed to just keeping Needle with her IDK. I may just be imagining things though and Arya had her sword the whole time.

There were several pointless scenes in the lastest episode and I'm pissed that they killed Ian McShane in the first episode he appeared in. He was already more interesting than most of the characters on the show.The Hound tearing people to shreds, though... 👆 There needs to be much, much more of that.
McShane had said he was only appearing in one ep, but I can see where that was disappointing if you didn't know.
While I enjoy the Hound's badassery, he's so much more than just an action-piece. One the best characters and best acted in the show, imo. My personall favorite.
If a famous actor says they're only in an episode or two of GoT, you can guess how it'll end. As much as I liked McShane's briefly-existing character, the entire subplot just felt like an excuse to reintroduce the Hound and evidence the growth of his humanity. Like viewers needed to see him attached to someone, lose them, then avenge them in order for us to... "get it?" When you see the obvious emotional manipulation, it really starts to feel sloppy.
