'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Spoilers: Arya Still Without Her Sight
Arya's fans may be expecting her to regain her sight soon, but "Game of Thrones" season 6 may reveal otherwise.
"Game of Thrones" season 6 will show how Arya (Maisie Williams) will adjust to her blindness. A promotional photo for the upcoming installment shows her begging, but her blindness is expected to sharpen her other senses, according to the International Business Times India.
Arya is being punished for disobeying the rules set by the Many-Faced God during her training as a "faceless man." She had decided to cross Ser Meryn (Ian Beattie) off her kill list, and Jaqen (Tom Wlaschiha) had to kill himself to appease the Many-Faced God. The Waif (Faye Marsay) then turned her blind, the report recalls.
To continue her priority of finishing her kill list, Arya will have to use the faces of dead people with fairly the same size and height as her. Emergency Awesome speculates that she may have to use Joffrey's (Jack Gleeson) face to kill her enemies including Cersei (Lena Heady).
Aside from Arya's blindness, another thing that fans can expect to see in "Game of Thrones" season 6 is the return of Jon Snow, who was killed in the previous season. Kit Harrington had been spotted on the set while the upcoming season was filming, and the teasers for season 6 also hint that he will be back in one way or another, Pop Sugar reports.
In addition, Jaime will be reunited with Cersei after he retrieves the body of their daughter Myrcella from Dorne. Their daughter died after Ellaria poisoned her while they were on their way back to Cersei, the report relays.
Meanwhile, the next season will be a big one for Sansa (Sophie Turner) because she will finally get the respect that she deserves after everything she has been through. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly (EW) in January, Turner teased that her character will have enough of her suffering in the upcoming installment.
"This season is a really, really big one for Sansa… She, this season, really commands the respect that she deserves and she grabs hold of it and she runs with it and it's really good," Turner told EW. "... You can only suffer so much before she finally gets the respect that she deserves."
"Game of Thrones" season 6 is set to premiere on Apr. 24.
