The unforgiving world of Game of Thrones can make even people like Arya become hard. He didn’t feel anything because it was his job, and that’s how Arya feels. She realizes, “This isn’t making me happy… why isn’t it making me happy?” She now identifies with The Hound when he killed Mycah. She just feels nothing towards anything and that’s how it plays out as the season goes on and more and more people are being taken off her kill list. It’s not a good thing to feel because if it was, you’re only going to get knocked back down again, and if it was a bad thing to feel, then she’d be in a bad place. Nothing is just… nothing,” and one of the big things to take away from this scene is that Arya feels nothing. There’s this line, “Nothing isn’t better or worse than anything. I feel like in Season 2 and 3, Arya wasn’t a massive contender in people’s eyes.īut this year, at the end of Episode 1, just when you thought things were going downhill, you’re treated to an Arya whose heart is now black and she’s rotten on the inside.

After The Hound tears the room apart over some chickens, the young Stark gal springs to action, cracking a clay pot over one of the men’s heads before driving a sword into his chest, and then gracefully slicing Polliver in the back with a sword-showcasing some of her training from Syrio Forel-and reclaiming Needle as he falls to the ground. Polliver is, of course, one of Arya’s sworn enemies, having knocked her to the ground during the attack on Yoren and his Night’s Watch recruits, stolen Needle, the sword Jon Snow bequeathed to her, and drove it through the throat of her injured orphan-pal, Lommy.Īrya finally gets her revenge.
