Game of Thrones

[Drunk Monk]

At the end of S6e8, Arya holds Needle backwards again. WTH? Here they put all this effort into costumes, sets and props and they never figured out how to hold a damn single-ring small sword?  It's not that hard. The ring protects the knuckles.  There's only so many ways to hold it and I swear GoT finds all the wrong ones.  Clearly the fight choreographer never moved into renaissance sword fightin and can only flail with arming swords.  

Here's Needle, FYI

Actually, now that I look at this 'official replica', I see that the handle is perfectly round.  No wonder no one knows how to hold it.  It's just a cylinder.  And no one on GoT knows how to fence.
