Arya Stark jumps from out of the blue to slay the Night King – and with his destruction Game of Thrones jumps the shark. The problem isn’t Arya killing the Night King. 1: How does Arya get so close to the Night King? The problem is the Night King isn’t guarded by wights but by the more advanced White Walkers (presumably they are more advanced – the show hasn’t bothered to tell us). There is no point to Bran, at the end, other than to serve as bait for the Night King.
