There are other people who are not you.

Arya would have come from the library, next to the godswood, run along the battlements, climbed through the tree, and dove down from above. She’s basically a ninja and did her ninja thing.

Also misdirection (the first lesson at Online Close-Up Magic University). Between the spectacle of Theon’s blaze-of-glory charge at the Night King, and the wights then all being focused on the impending murder of Bran, surely Arya could have rolled up a catapult without being noticed.

Scott Lang saw them in the quantum realm. Not to brag or anything....

Everyone else is living in a novel, but Arya gets to play Assassin’s Creed. She crawled out the library window, fiddled with the cursor until “Press X to murder” was hovering over the Night King, and went for the stealth takedown.

Someone else suggested she leaped from a wall to a tree branch to the Nights King. I would have been relatively satisfied with seeing her jump off anything compared to what we got.

The solution’s name is Podrick Payne survived.

Well Sansa was worried about supplies for winter.

This is the incorrect take. Pushing Bran out of the window began Jamie Lannister’s series long redemptive arc, and facilitated the endgame of thrones (Bran said as much last week).

I wondered were she was as they hadn’t shown her in awhile but I was so fixated on every other possible scenario that I completely forgot about her.

On the plus side, Sansa doesn’t have to worry about feeding tens of thousands of Unsullied and Dothraki anymore.  

Really, Winterfell must smell pretty awful after that battle. I guess the cold will keep the bodies frozen for awhile, and I suppose the dragon can do a quick cremation ceremony. But the bodies will have to be moved out of the castle first.

We’ll need a team of super virile men scoring around the clock. I’ll do my part. 

Unless you’re a necrophiliac, there ain’t gonna be much fuckin in northern Westeros considering the piles and piles of dead Northmen, Dothraki, Wildings, Wights, etc, etc, around.

In the books it’s made clear that all the noble houses have so many relatives that they’ll go on no matter what. In the show you only see the main people of the house. For example, the Lannisters have uncles and cousins that would carry on even if Jamie and Cersei were both killed.

It’s super cold and there’s not much else to do other than get drunk and have lots of sex

Uh, how about all Dothraki males and Unsullied being completely wiped out? When you add those Northerner/Wilding soldiers and civilians that were down in the crypt, and those who didn’t make it to Winterfell in time and/or froze/starved to death in the cold, this show gets pretty genocidal. The entire North is more or…

As far as how Arya got so close without being noticed. Even without face switching she was trained as a ninja priest of the God of Death. They foreshadowed her sneakiness in the Godswood a few episodes back when Jon was like “I didn’t even hear you coming”.

Does anyone else see Beric’s sacrafice as a bit Christlike in its stagecraft? He holds his arms out like arms on a crucifix to block the army of the dead from catching up to Hound and Arya, allowing for the life that eventually saves humanity to get to safety. Plus, he was brought back they repeatedly say, for some…

Out of all the complaints about last night’s episode, Arya slipping into the Godswood wasn’t that surprising. She was trained as an assassin and learned how to be as stealthy as possible. She also knew Winterfell better than anyone so she probably knew how to get there as fast and as quietly as possible.
