Over the show's last few seasons, Arya Stark has steadily grown into her badassery. Although she sadly didn't get to maim more people this season, her one kill was so awesome it probably made a few fans yelp with excitement.

Her attack on Ser Meryn, the first name on her kill list, was arguably one of the most brutal killings in the show's history. With his eyes gouged out and multiple stab wounds across his torso, Meryn groaned in agony as the presumed dead Stark sister exacted her revenge. 

As awesome as that murder was, Meryn wasn't the person she was supposed to take out and her selfishness meant the Many-Faced God punished her by blinding her. The girl just can't catch a break.
