The Entire Internet Simultaneously Googled Arya's Age During *That* Scene
Maisie Williams is 22-years old in the real life world which we all inhabit. But Game of Thrones isn’t the real world. Arya Stark is our collective, murderous little sister. She’s a deadly assassin who chops up entire bloodlines and puts them into pies. We’re all cool with all of that. But that scene tonight came out of fucking NOWHERE. And clearly it made folks feel some type of way. As the legend DragonflyJonez so eloquently put it:
Pretty much hit the nail on the head. I get it – the end of the world is on Winterfell’s doorstep. The White Walkers are literally on the horizon. Shit’s fucked up. Tormund is dialing up every Hail Mary in his playbook to get in Brienne’s big trousers once and for all before shit hits the fan.
This is a show that leads off with incest in episode one, slaughters children throughout, yet tonight – nearly a decade into this shit – America collectively went, “Have we gone too far??”
