“Game of Thrones” characters who haven’t seen one another since, in some cases, the very first season met face-to-face in Sunday night’s long, long awaited Season 8 premiere. A recap: Having captured Arya in Season 3, the Hound tries unsuccessfully to sell her back to her family, once at the Red Wedding and again in the Vale. In Season 3, Arya and Gendry are absorbed into the Brotherhood Without Banners, but get separated when the Brotherhood sells Gendry to Melisandre. Some time after she escaped King’s Landing in the chaos of Joffrey’s Season 4 death, Sansa remarks that Tyrion was always the kindest Lannister. At Winterfell in the Season 8 premiere, following a warm embrace, Arya confirmed she’d followed that advice “once or twice.” (Understatement of the season.)
