Don't have much time this morning, but i did watch the Preston's 4 & 5 vids. Some interesting stuff in there, I agree. I have a quibble and a question. I would be disappointed to find that House of B&W only had one world class assassin on Jaqen's level because i envisioned it as a bigger operation. And, in order to make sense of a current Bloodraven - Bittersteel rivalry, we need to establish that the Team Bittersteel knows about Bloodraven & what he's up to. Is that done in vids 1-3?? Thanks. Later.

No, Preston doesn't explain how Team Bittersteel knew that:

A. Bloodraven is still alive and a player in world affairs

B. Jaqen knew about the glass candle

Doubtless the little green men tipped Preston off. You know nothing holahouze.

As far as Jaqen being the only assassin on his level, if they sent him after Bloodraven he's undoubtedly the best. But if the Faceless Men are pulling those kinds of contracts, they've got a lot of resources and probably have more assassins in the pipeline in case their A Team ever fails. If Jaqen can arrange for a Bravosi ship to twiddle its thumbs in Saltpans hoping Arya shows up, yeah, the Faceless Men got resources.

Speaking of the A Team, what's up with Biter going after Brienne? If they had Arya assassinate the old dude who was insuring Selwyn Tarth's ships, why wouldn't they try to capture her and hold her for ransom to keep Tarth's navy from interfering with Aegon's invasion?
