Video: Arya Stark makes her big move

Arya Stark kicked off “Dragonstone,” the first episode of Game of Thrones season 7, in fairly spectacular fashion. Naturally, the internet has already supplied the world with tape. Watch it below, unless you don’t want to be SPOILED.

We opened at the Twins, in Walder Frey’s great banquet hall, the same one where he killed Ned and Catelyn Stark at the end of season 3. Walder Frey, who’s looking remarkably well considering Arya Stark murdered him at the end of season 6, has gathered all his sons and grandsons together to lay out his plans for winter. Cue the serving girls with the drinks.

But of course it’s not really Walder Frey. Once the men take swigs of their drinks, they start dropping, and we soon find out who was behind all the carnage.

Walder Frey was Arya Stark all along! And she would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for…wait, she totally got away with it.

It’s a crowd-pleasing way to kick off the season 7 premiere, although you have to wonder at the trouble Arya went through to make this shindig happen. How long did it take to peel off Walder Frey’s face and treat it? Did she have any accomplices who helped her mix and distribute the poison? Ah, well. At least she got off that cool “Winter came for the Freys” line before peacing out.
