Wait, so I only just found out that Summer dies in GoT. Do you think this reflects where the books are going? No more dead puppies. D=

It’s possible, it fits the Last Hero narrative, but on the other hand, it’s a reality that working with animal actors is incredibly time-consuming and expensive, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the show decided to eliminate the direwolves whenever possible (do you really think Arya’s going to meet Nymeria only for Nymeria to go away?) to save money for dragons.
