Arya Stark deserves your respect

Whether it’s sharpshooting to save the Hound or putting her new weapon to use, Arya Stark proves her worth in this episode, in case any of you still doubted her. As she goes through the halls of Winterfell, she encounters some undead and goes full stealth, using sound to distract the wights and goes predator mode to kill the one she can’t avoid. (Yes, she’s the answer to Batman. No, we will not be taking questions on this point.)

Even she needs an assist, though, and she gets one from Beric Dondarrion and the Hound. “Not today” also makes a big return after her discussion with Melisandre.

But more importantly than all of this: she takes down the Night King and his army with it.
