Game Of Thrones: 15 Unforgettable Scenes From Season 7

11. Arya & Nymeria

It's clear the show writers have worked really hard to make sure that the last couple of seasons aren't wall-to-wall reunion scenes.

It is possible to have completely forgotten what happened to Nymeria back in season one, especially with how many direwolves have been killed off over the course of the series. But making a surprise appearance in the North during Arya's trek back home was her former pet direwolf, now with a full pack of wolves.

This reunion could have just felt like fanservice, but instead it was a bittersweet reminder of how far Arya has come since season one.

Nymeria is just like her - a lone wolf who has grown from a pup to become a fearsome beast in the woods. And while it would have been amazing to see Arya and her wolf reunited for the rest of the series, it was more cathartic to see both wolves sticking to their separate paths.
