Wasn't Nymeria last seen in the second episode of the entire series? Why would you think Nymeria would come back? The best part of this show is that they usually have realistic consequences for actions. You release a dog into the wild, you're probably not going to find them again. I really hope they don't bring Nymeria back.

It's the whole chekov's gun argument isn't it? The Starks developed a bond with their dire wolves, a super deep connection that has played some very important roles in the series. There is no reason to think Arya's connection was less deep. And since we never got an explicit death scene like we did for the other dire wolves, there is a good chance it comes back at some point

This was directed at master's direwolf posts, not your Namath.

LOL, I thought it was a funny reaction to Namath12's pedophile meme.

Can Arya still have a wolf if she's no one?

Are we sure Arya is no one? When she was giving her death list, wasn't it missing a few names? I felt like the subtle impression we were getting was that she was learning to trick the other girl. Sorry I don't have any of the old season on my computer to check... it's all confusing.

I thought maybe she did just trick the many faced god when she drank the water and instead of death she regained here eyes.

It should mean that she didn't trick the many faced God and is actually no one.

Hold the phone, didn't Ned Stark kill that direwolf?

Man, it's crazy how much happens in Season 1 per episode vs the pace we get in Season 5 and 6. GoT benefits when storylines are more condensed.

I might have to go back and revisit S1. I never got into the show until around S2 or S3, thought S1 was a bit slow.

Imo it means the many faced god believes she is no-one. whether she actually is, or has successfully tricked it I am not sure. Like, now it's mentioned - that list did seem pretty short. And we know she still has the stash of personal effects including Needle somewhere on the edge of the city. Of course it's possible, even likely she actually has become no-one and the relics of the past are now forgotten.

IDGAS about Aryas entire story line since end of season 4. It's been "trials and tribulations associated with training to be an assassin devoted to a weird God" for like 15 ****ing episodes, and I'm frankly failing to see what growth or new skills justify this much dedicated time to this arc.
