I agree.
The point is he has to be dead first and his face has to removed by one of the Faceless Men.
If Arya doesn't kill him what other Faceless Man will?

Does the deed have to be carried out by a Faceless Man in order to complete the illusion,
or will any fresh corpse that they had no hand in killing do?

When she killed Walder Frey, she wore the face of some servant girl.
How/where did she acquire that?
Arya might be an assassin, stone cold killer, but so far she's only killed people whom
have in someway caused her or her family harm.

She also had the bag of faces. She didn't leave Bravos with them, and unless she killed a person or two
off screen, where/how did she get them (Walder Freys sons, posssibly)?

I was just thinking a couple weeks back about how Jaime is supposed to be an elite fighter and how them chopping off his hand ruined any good fight scenes involving him. I think leaving him whole to kick some ass later on would have been better for the story than whatever making him handicapped added, especially where we’re at in the story now. Jaime riding north with both his hands and his valyrian steel sword to help kick some white walker ass would be much more appealing than left handed Jaime.

On a side note, who is going to end up swinging Sam’s family sword? They had him take it for a reason and It sure as hell wont be him.

That video yesterday got me thinking.
Arya and the Hound will charge the Mountain and Cersei.
Arya will slide under the Mountains legs and stab Cersei in the eye with Brans dagger.
When the Mountain turns around to kill Arya, the Hound will collect his fucking head.
Bank on it.

Jaime losing his hand was the catalyst for his change as a character.

If he never lost his hand he'd probably still be more or less the same guy we saw in S1.

I'm thinking just the opposite, like there's a bit of foreshadowing when Bronn asks him how he'd like to go,

and Jamie responds "dying in the arms of the woman I love".

That could be taken to mean Cersi, but I think Brienne is more likely.
Cersei is still on Arya's list and what better way to get to her than wearing her brother's face.
damn that would be badass.

The Hound is also on the list. Who else from the list is still extant?
The Hound is no longer on the list.
When and how does he drop off? I don't remember that.
At some point, she realizes the Hound has dropped off her list and she muses about it.

1. I don’t think that’s an accident
2. Arguably she (symbolically) killed him already. He just happened to be rescued and “reborn”.

His “rebirth” (going from bad to not-so-bad) mirrors the “rebirth” of Gregor as Strong (bad to really-fucking-bad). One is reborn in light (by the monks), while the other is reborn in darkness. Martin loves this kind of symmetry. There is a good chance they kill each other.  The idea of Arya giving the Gift to a fully redeemed Sandor isn’t bad either. Valar fucking morghulis.

Similarly, the kingsguard who is also a kingslayer will die protecting a regent (which one remains to be seen).  That’s my prediction and I’m sticking with it.

Arya had the chance to kill the hound once, but instead left him to suffer and die (or so she thought) slowly. I think she WILL HAVE to kill him in season 8; not out of spite, but out of mercy.

I have a theory that The Hound will go through fire to save Arya from The Mountain in some way...and then Arya will have to put the dog down to ease his suffering.

That would be a cunt of a thing. I could see it though, the hound emerges victorious but mortally wounded from Cleganebowl, she reluctantly finishes him off.

Yeah maybe, but other than being all mopy and getting really sick right after how else did not having a hand change him? I think the rest of the story could have played out the same had he kept his hand. Maybe have them beat him half to death or something.

His whole identity was the Alpha-Warrior who could do what he wanted without consequences.  Losing his hand would be like Tom Brady being forced to retire after his first Superbowl.  His whole identity was built into the godlike swordsman.  After he is crippled, he finally realizes he is merely human and starts to empathize with others around him, such as Brienne, which causes him to develop actual humanity and begin to question the stupid shit his sister has been doing.  Without losing the hand, Jamie never abandons Cersei.

There is a still from the trailer that shows Jorah Mormont with Heartsbane, the sword from house Tarly. This makes sense has they already have a friendship and Jorah is one of the best fighters left.

If Jamie had really applied himself he could have been a world class fighter still. Qhorin Halfhand lost most of his fingers on his right hand in combat. He trained with his left and was just as good. He was the Ranger that allowed Jon Snow to beat him so that Jon could infiltrate Mance Rayder's camp.

More or less correct. The only things two-handed Jaime gave a fuck about were (1) Jaime and (2) fucking his sister. I still say that (historically) Barristan Selmy and Arthur Dayne were most likely superior swordsmen, but Jaime was certainly a prodigious talent.

There is a still from the trailer that shows Jorah Mormont with Heartsbane, the sword from house Tarly. This makes sense has they already have a friendship and Jorah is one of the best fighters left.

If Jamie had really applied himself he could have been a world class fighter still. Qhorin Halfhand lost most of his fingers on his right hand in combat. He trained with his left and was just as good. He was the Ranger that allowed Jon Snow to beat him so that Jon could infiltrate Mance Rayder's camp.
I wouldn't go that far.  I think it's like baseball.  Some players can switch hit.  Many others cannot despite being great talents.
Just build a sword-length katar into a socket, he can still use his right.  Won't have all the angles but still be faster than most.

Full armor with spikes of dragon glass all over it. Just throw the dude over the wall into the horde and let him thrash around.

I had thought of that too... a solid gold hand is not as useful as a dagger hand.

The trouble is attaching the “hand-sword” in a way it wouldn’t fly off the second some big dude crashed his own blade or shield into it...

Attach a big, rigid, undroppable lever to his dominant arm? What could go wrong (especially considering that the noble class mostly fights on horseback but must be able to dismount as well)?

that's not how it works.  speed and agility in swordplay comes primarily from wrist and hand action.  the larger muscle groups give you power.  there are functionally 4 joints in a sword system: shoulder, elbow, wrist, grip.  removing the last two would be catastrophic--worse than losing a foot.

learning to fight with his left would be far superior to a katar/pata-type weapon.

Any chance we will find out who the Prince that was Promised is?

Is it possible its Sam using Heartsbane to save Jon?
