She’s not Arya. She’s No One.

Considering how her brothers and sisters fared as Stark pets no wonder she left.

Nymeria wanted to go with Arya, but she knew Drogon is eating up all this season's budget. So she's slinking back into hiding before she meets the same fate as Summer and Shaggy. Ghost should join her entourage before it's too late.

Oh god. I hope your joking. The shows creators explained the scene after the episode. My DVR didn't record any comments from the show's writers. Were they similar to this? The episode’s writer, GoT co-executive producer Bryan Cogman, also had insight on the poignant scene. “So much of this season is swinging back to season 1,” Cogman says. “Since we last had Arya in the Riverlands she’s had all these crazy adventures. In a television show that’s all about Nymeria the Wolf, she’s had adventures too. She’s gathered this pack of wolves and is now doing the Old Gods’ work herself. Arya and Nymeria do and don’t have the connection they’ve always had. In the end, they’re both lone wolves. They can’t go back to the way things were. And that might be foreshadowing for Arya too.” |

The scene was only in there to throw a bone to the Direwolf fans. D&D have said how much they hate the Direwolfs.
Basically they are like, "We'll give you this and thats it,"
Then they make up some bullshit excuse later on.

Actually, she's an alpha wolf in charge of a large pack.

Sorry I can't find a link, but I do remember them saying that they find it frustrating working with wolves, and creating the CGI Direwolves. Besides it's really obvious how they feel about them, just look at how much screen time they have got the last few seasons. Not to mention Summer and Shaggydog dying without book inspiration. |

Well, the books haven;t caught up with that yet.
To me, the direwolves always represented the Starkiness of the kids, so as their roles/calamities expanded, the less connection they had with the wolves or the more likely the wolves croaked. Sansa's was the first to go because she had more in common with the South for example.
In the books, Arya has a connection with Nymeria for quite some time while in Westeros, but I think loses it once she trains as an assassin.
