[Potential spoilers for Game of Thrones season seven, obviously]
The last time the entire Stark family — Ned, Catelyn, Robb, Jon (sort of), Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon — was in the same shot together was in the very first episode of Game of Thrones, when they’re awaiting the royal arrival of King Robert Baratheon. It’s also the only time. Six seasons later, Ned, Catelyn, Robb, and Rickon are dead; Bran’s causing mayhem Beyond the Wall; Jon and Sansa are lording over Winterfell; and Arya is crossing names off her Kill List. That scene, when A Girl murdered the orchestrator of the Red Wedding, was an important full circle moment — she got a slice of revenge for what Walder Frey did to her family, and Frey got a slice of his sons.
Between Arya’s retribution and Jon and Sansa’s reunion, things are finally coming up Stark. There might even be some good news for Bran, too (at least I hope so — Hodor can’t have sacrificed himself for nothing). Winter Is Coming reports that Maisie Williams and Isaac Hempstead Wright were seen together on set in Banbridge, Ireland. Also there that day: Kit Harington, Gwendoline Christie, Liam Cunningham, Aidan Gillen, and Bella Ramsey. A Jon Snow-Brienne-Davos-Littlefinger-Lyanna-Bran-Arya dream team is certainly possible, especially after Williams was spotted wearing a familiar costume.
That outfit looks more Winterfell, by way of Robb and Ned, than something Arya might wear in the Riverlands if she wants to blend in.
Hopefully Bran doesn’t fall out of a tree, or accidentally help destroy the Wall, before he and his sister can catch up. “How have things been going for you?” “They’re alright. Everyone thought Theon burned me to a crisp, I saw our dead dad in a vision, and now I’m the new Three-Eyed Raven. You?” “Same. “I became an assassin, stole some people’s faces, and baked a pie. No big.”
