The young Stark was taken unexpectedly at the end of \'The Broken Man\', gaining multiple stab wounds to the abdomen - with the knife twisted and everything.

The cliffhanger left fans speculating if she had survived, opening the floodgates to a host of theories, from Arya actually being Jaqen in disguise, to her wearing pig\'s blood.

However, after an anxious wait, we found out this week in \'No One\' that she really had been stabbed repeatedly and - with some help from Lady Crane - had made a miraculous recovery after some soup and bandaging.

Narcos to end after season 2? Pablo\'s time could be up

A fan on Reddit has now called out the writers on the "stupid" plotline, using various comparisons from throughout the series as evidence.

In the detailed analysis, Zahn1138, looks at wounds such as those sustained by Robb Stark\'s wife Talisa during the Red Wedding, who died immediately, to King Robert\'s boar wound back in series one, which caused death from infection over a few days.

The user points out that Arya fell into the Braavos canal, which would have been swimming with infections.

She would have died within hours from peritonitis and sepsis among other complications, going by the infections and wounds previously sustained in the series.

They argue that the only probable saviour would be magic, which they point out did not happen, making it seemingly inconsistent and unrealistic compared to the wounds that have occurred so far in Westeros.

In conclusion, Arya should most definitely have been a goner, and the fan suggests the writers were taking "stupid pills" when they devised the plotline.

continues on Sunday (June 19) on HBO, and airs the following day on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
