I’m not saying that D&D had to do this, I’m saying that it makes sense in the context of the overall narrative and Sansa’s narrative arc.

I haven’t read all 2742 hundred comments (at time of posting) so I don’t know if someone else threw this out already but if not here goes.

I'll be the first to admit that Fringe didn't do much until at the very least the season 1 finally where they introduced the mirror universe concept.  There are some interesting episodes before that, particularly the episodes involving David Robert Jones but not much thematically interesting.

The "how can her hair look that good" is a proxy for a general complain about how incongruous Skye as a character is.  The character backstory doesn't match the character we are seeing on screen, it would be like trying to sell Woody Allen as an action hero and playing it straight.  You could probably make it work but…

I don't think they are low standards per-say just different standards.  No one is expecting this show to be smart or intellectually engaging on even the level of Fringe let alone something like Breaking Bad.  It's popcorn television through and through and its basically competent at that.  It isn't good popcorn…
