To her brother’s surprise, he asked, “what did you think?”.

“But it started really strong,” she continued.

Being unimpressed with the last season of GOT in comparison to the seasons which came before, is not an uncommon opinion in the slightest. 

“I was heartbroken when Ned died,” she said. 

“And I knew it was coming.”

Spoiler alert! – Ned was the father of Maisie’s character Arya Stark and he was beheaded in the penultimate episode of season one.

Maisie’s comments on Game of Thrones were not the first time she has expressed her opinions in recent months.

Earlier this year, Maisie revealed in an interview with GQ UK that she started to have a strained relationship with her own character during filming the series. 

“I think that when I started becoming a woman, I resented Arya because I couldn’t express who I was becoming,” she said. 

The 25-year-old actress was cast on Game of Thrones when she was 12 years old and said it became difficult to distinguish herself from Arya. 

“I also resented my body, because it wasn’t aligned with the piece of me that the world celebrated,” she said.

When Maisie was asked about what she missed most about her time on the show, she replied half-jokingly saying, “can I say none of it?”. 

“I don’t think it’s healthy [to miss it], because I loved it. I look at it so fondly, and I look at it with such pride. But why would I want to make myself feel sad about the greatest thing that ever happened to me? I don’t want to associate that with feelings of pain,” she said.

Arya ended up becoming one of the most loved characters over the eight years the show ran for.
