Maisie Williamslost her mindafter reading theGame of ThronesSeason 7 playscript . It ’s perceivable . With so many potential plot twists , character death , and Stark kin reunion in store for the next deal of episodes , it must be hard to keep a nerveless head . But what exactly was she losing her mind over ?
Judging from arecent interviewinVariety , the Emmy - nominated actress has some idea about where her lineament , the no - longer - Braavos - bound Arya Stark , could end up during the heavy anticipated next season . gratis of her sightlessness and having delivered vengeance to the evil Walder Frey , Arya can now move about the function in new , exciting ways . Though next season will have fewer episodes , Williams does n’t see that as a bad thing .
" It sucks for the interview because they love the episodes , but what we ’ll never do on this show is drag out it out , " she say in the interview . " I ’m so thrilled about that . Too many show depart out about get a great show , and by Season 6 it ’s about making money and all they want to do is pen more episodes and make more money . "

While it ’s comforting to know that Williams is n’t all about collecting those shining Braavos coins , we hope the slightly shorter next time of year will give her plenteousness of screen prison term . With the menacing Cersei Lannisternow in baron , there ’s never been a better time for Arya to hark back to King ’s landing place and begin crossing more epithet off her listing . Or could she head to Winterfell ? Would her sibling embrace her new pharynx - slitting ways ?
" I palpate like Jon would rule it hard to consent Arya for who she is now , " Williams says in the interview . " He ’d want to be truehearted and epic and protect his little Sister , and that ’s not a animation for her anymore . That was never really what she want to have in life and now she ’s definitely not go back — she ’s far more effective to fight with Jon than any of his other soldiers . "
The reunification of Jon Snow and Sansa Stark was one of the aroused highlights of last time of year , so it ’s only natural to want Arya and Jon to have a similar meeting . standardized , but vicious ; conceive of two of the show ’s bravest warrior , a household carve up by moral choices , engaged in a sword engagement . Arya has spent so much time on the sidelines – get her shins bruised by thedearly departed Waif– she merit some time out on the battlefield .
Though next season will surely have some big battle scenes , one cardinal originative person behind last season " Battle of the bastard " will not be involve : director Miguel Sapochnik . In anew interviewwith the New YorkTimes , the film producer reveals that he ’ll be sitting out next time of year , but that he ’s still open to returning for the last spate of episode .
What was his biggest challenge in directing last season ’s climactic Snow - vs.-Bolton throwdown ? Those damn horses ! " We discovered that horses can not touch each other , " he explains . " It ’s illegal — it ’s a very valid rule about protecting the horses . So the very affair we were trying to do was not allowed . And we only had 70 sawbuck . "
These are the things next season need : more horses and more Arya . Maybe Arya rally one of these many horses , too . She ca n’t just consort everywhere – there ’s so much traveling to do .
