‘Game of Thrones’ season 4, episode 4 preview: Maisie Williams scoop; finale news

There are a couple of important “Game of Thrones” stories that are worth discussing today, but we begin with some important news when it comes to the upcoming season finale: It’s going to run a little bit longer than the average episode.

HBO has confirmed the rumors that this big episode will be entitled “The Children,” and also added that this episode is going to run 66 minutes. This is something that has become a tradition for the finale to run a little long, and it does make some sense given all the story that the show has to run through.

Now, we turn to a bit of scoop on tonight’s episode, and potentially the rest of the season, when it comes to Maisie Williams’ Arya. Regardless of whenever you see her next, she tells “Access Hollywood” that there are going to be many more gruesome moments to come from her character as she adventures further with The Hound:

“The hint [about Arya’s future] would be there are more people that are gonna get crossed off the list [of intended victims] … That’s kind of the biggest hint I can give and more of that – this new Arya. We’ve now introduced this new Arya. It’s not like she’s lost at all, she’s just completely grown and is now much better – doing much better off.”

Personally, we’re thrilled with whatever additional footage of Arya and The Hound that the producers want to give us. So far, this story has been truly fantastic.
