so while we are on an arya kick...

any thoughts to the show paralleling her target practice (head, tits, balls) with joffrey's "target practice." wondering if there was a deeper darkness they were trying to portray with the similarities

There are some superficial similarities but I don't think anything deeper. Joffrey is a coward in addition to being a sadist. His atrocities seem to come primarily from his inner psychotic-ness (for lack of a better word). Arya is anything but a coward. Her anger comes from a desire to defeat her enemies and to get revenge and success for her family and friends (that's what will likely prevent her from becoming a full fledged faceless man).

Now if the show was a little farther along with the Ramsay story line, there might be some parallels between him and Joffrey that you can draw.
