It was not in her assessment of who was running the castles (she was right, though vengeance on the kids may be a bit too far), and it should have been brought up.

Lollys Stokeworth is not exceptional, but her situation (being promised to an unscrupulous sellsword with only a single sibling in the way) is. And you brought up Lollys’ sister: she is only in that position because no male heirs were there to contend with.
That’s exactly that premise haha. My mom and I used to watch “What would you do?” a lot.
It...explicitly DID so.
She spoke first...but the decision was not hers to make. You’re looking at this as a brother-sister ‘woman know your place thing,’ and it’s not. Jon isn’t just her brother: he’s the King. That is functionally different from any other relationship they have, and it sets them in very different spheres of influence and…
She “saved” the northern army after most of them had been killed. Hundreds of loyal soldiers died because she couldn’t say, “Hey, this is probably not a great idea but Littlefinger owed me so he’s going to give us a hand.” It was a shitty power play on her part. Not saying Jon didn’t fuck up - oh, he did - but Sansa…
Except the Freys didn’t just murder Robb and his mother, they murdered all of the Stark bannermen and lords in attendance as well. Robb betrayed the Frey’s trust, but the Frey’s completely violated (and, in a literal term, raped) a sacred bond of hospitality. If they wanted to adequately pay Robb back for his…
YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE! They wouldn’t dare be so on the nose with it.
I’m going to take flak for this, BUT...
And hoo boy, would he have lost favor if he’d booted innocent children out of their homes for what their dick dads did.
Man, she woulda been a top seed in our Wypipo Tournament. Dammit.
I disagree about Sansa being right in this case. Jon and Sansa both made good arguments and in different circumstances Sansa would be right. But this kind of strategy doesn’t seem to really work in the North. One of the things that brought Robb to ruin was that many people lost faith in him as leader was because…
So I assume you also totally have a problem with Lady Mormont being in charge of Bear Island, right?
My take on the Sansa/Jon thing:
“which has mostly relied on relatively unknown actors to great success”
If ginger ruined episode for you, you should stop watching the show.
It seems to me that what’s really problematic isn’t that some black men like to date interracially, it’s that white men don’t have the same appreciation for black women. I understand that there’s a lot of complicated stuff at work here, re: beauty standards and perceived “desirability” of white women, but I feel like…
Not strictly on topic, but I can only speak for my experience...
I personally have never found white women attractive and have never dated one. I personally don’t have a problem with interracial dating because of how I was raised. My mother taught me we are all the same and it doesn’t matter what color she is as long as she really loves and cares for you. And I am in an interracial…
