Good, Arya can go TBH, if she would have died in Kings Landing after Ned was killed, the overall story would be exactly the same. She's probably going to get one good kill in the endgame and that's it but on her way she'll struggle between being no one and eventually go back to being a Stark.
If they are really going to shorten up the next season/s... they need to trim the fat even more... Iess Tyrion and his annoying one liners "That's what I do... I drink and I know things"
Less of Missandei and Grey Worm, less Dorne, Cersei better deal with the Faith ASAP, Sam and Gilly better make their trip fast, the Ironborn and Euron should bring more substance to the end game... TBH right now whatever is happening in the North is the most exciting part, the rest is kind of loosing steam.
