Sansa seemed to let herself be played by Littlefinger. She did do an interesting thing when she sent Brienne away (some people have theorized that this was Arya cosplaying, but as far as I know you need the other person to be dead before you can wear their face). But then she grabbed that idiot ball again when she snuck into Arya’s room to try to find and steal the letter. Girl, you know that’s not how this works.
I’m still hoping this is some sort of long con by one girl or the other. Though they’ll need some Death Note-style explanation to dig their way out of this.
They are pandering to the audience so much since season 6 i feel like GoT has lost what made it special in the first place. George Martin would’ve killed everyone on isle and maybe let Jon Snow live. Saying the writers didn’t have any source material as a guideline is such a cop out. How can they screenplay 5 novels and still not get the direction of the source material. They don’t have the balls to kill off any character anymore and i bet half the cast could be killed off and not affect the main plot.
Honestly the issue is that they don’t have as many important characters to kill. There are so many more characters in the books than in the show. They didn’t have the time to flesh out the universe as well as Martin in the books, so now you’ve come to a point in the story where the only important characters left are integral to the story’s conclusion.
hahahaha Way better than the actual episode!
This is the best. Scuba zombies with chains pull a dragon out of the water.
I think the whole Arya/Sansa dynamic hinges on the writers doing a shit job with the dialogue.
If even one of those two characters were given lines an actual human being would say, they wouldn’t even have a situation right now.

Yeah that’s especially silly.
So instead of Arya telling Sansa about the masks and their importance, her entire trek to Winterfell, she decides to just talk about walking around as her sister and killing her?
The fuck? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT!

Squabbling with her sister is such a waste of her time. I honestly think that they blew their load with Arya in the season premier and she has to be given a meaningless filler task so she doesn’t kill any remaining major characters until next season or the season finale. Considering what Arya went through she would appreciate the grey area in the line between right and wrong much more clearly considering what she witnessed under the faceless men. If the interaction with the two sisters was written better it would have been a more interesting plot point. She should be in King’s landing infiltrating the chambermaids and trying to get close to Cersi. Bran needs to use his pimp hand on his sisters so they know what’s good. Arya revealing her ability was also pretty stupid, as that is an ace in the hole you should not just reveal in the GOT world.
What I don’t understand is…
Spoiler
Where the hell did Benjen come from? How did he know where to find Jon? How did he know where Jon was even going? And why did he have to go out like a bitch?
This is what happens when you work on a show based on a series that’s incomplete: you just end up with a lot of ass pulls and moments that don’t make any sense.
i’ll be honest, i kind of really like the idea of jon and dany hooking up without realizing who the other is. The Targaryian line is filled with incest and i think it would be a little bit ironic if incest returned to the bloodline essentially through ignorance haha

The fantasy genre in general has tons of incredible hail marys at just the right time. It’s a long standing fantasy trope that the hero always gets just the right powers/help at just the right time.
I’d like to see what the show writers would have done if they had control over season one. Ned Stark saved by Arya at the last second as she blocks the executioners blade with needle. They then ride off on dire wolves.
Does anyone else suspect that Jon might’ve actually died being dragged down into the icy depths and then revived by the “Lord of Light”, allowing him the strength to swim back up?
The wolf on his sword opened its eyes when he came back up.
