Maisie Williams’s Arya Stark has had one of the most interesting character arcs in Game of Thrones, Petite and childlike from the beginning, she’s morphed into a remorseless, deadly assassin.
In the Season 8 open we saw Daenerys and Jon Snow lead the Dothraki army into Winterfell, accompanied by a pair of dragons—and on seeing them soar overhead, Arya Stark was clearly delighted.
Later, Arya reunited with the blacksmith she hung out with in Season 3, Gendry, and this was where a major plot point was put in place.
Dang. Here’s where Arya’s reaction to the dragons becomes relevant. According to Sarner, she could totally use her javelin/crossbow to take down the Night King’s frozen zombie dragon, knocking them both out of the sky and out of commission.
If you are so deeply into Thrones that this makes you go, “woooow, man” like a stoned freshman watching Pink Floyd’s The Wall for the first time, then this could count as a major spoiler for you.
Or not. We could all be wrong with any predictions about this show from here on out. There are five episodes left. Anything could happen.
