She's still pretty insufferable and needs to be put in her place by someone, anyone. As much as Sansa annoys me, her character has had to learn and endure way more, which has given her humility and some measure of intelligence. Arya's just been running around doing whatever she wants, unchecked. Bucking the rules that were established for her. All the unanswered killing has to catch up with her at some point.
I also really didn't care about the direwolf reunion (except for that it was filmed near Banff when i was out there). Didn't understand the fans freaking out. If anything, I'm glad nymeria didn't join her. That was definitely a "nope" moment on her part. That would be my reaction too lol.

lol what in the hell are you talking about?
Arya has had her ass kicked since the beginning of the show.
She watched helplessly as her father had his head chopped off in front of her.
She waited helplessly outside while her mother and oldest brother were slaughtered at the red wedding.
As far she knew, Theon had betrayed her younger brothers which resulted in their deaths as well as her family home being taken over by the Boltons.
I also think that up until this last episode, she had no idea Sansa had escaped from Cersei's grip and as far as she knew Sansa was still basically a prisoner in Kings Landing.
All this was happening while she was a pre-teen girl living in a vicious world. But she was tough enough to find her way to a place where she could learn to kick some ass for a change instead of being just a helpless little girl, and in order to achieve that she had to have her ass royally kicked again relentlessly for an basically an entire season. She had her sight taken, was beaten mercilessly, left homeless living in the streets as a beggar, stabbed and nearly killed.
I don't see how anyone can begrudge her for wanting to dole out some rough justice to the evil people that she basically had to stand by and watch kill and/or imprison her entire family for basically what amounts to nearly half her life.
Also, she hasn't lost her values either, because as soon as she found out Sansa and Jon had taken back Winterfell she pulled an instant 180 and headed back there without hesitation, instead of continuing on to Kings Landing to kill Cersei.
