No because I don't think it's hinted at. I think people are taking the signs of her response to being raped as signs that she's pregnant. The language certainly lends itself to either situation, but what I'm saying is that aside from that there's no evidence that it supports a pregnancy as opposed to her abuse.

dude there's literally 0 evidence that Sansa is pregnant. What there is evidence of is that Sansa was raped and that the show took an active role in addressing that for the audience.

close reads suggest that these people aren't actually experts at all

re: "The hints of Sansa’s pregnancy—saying she can still feel what Ramsay did to her, and Ramsay saying he’s part of her now"

finding out this author won't be writing the finale's review is the best part of this review.

How hard can I disagree that this episode didn't solidify the imminence of Stoneheart? Catelyn's name was evoked a thousand times and the one thing we know about the books and the show is that when things are supposed to be forgotten they are never spoken about again.

"The wildling debate is the only dud of the episode, a conversation that should have happened before they left the Wall in the first place. The main point is to lay out the themes of fighting for a leader versus building a home, but we get it. "

Well considering Sandor literally referred to the three rovers as members of the Brotherhood, I think it's safe to assume that they are in fact members of the Brotherhood and that Stoneheart is 95% confirmed to be returning this season.

you're right, surely there can't be an element of the affliction that we haven't seen yet. you're so right. you know everything. clearly.

I've always considered the idea that greyscale is actually a shield of sorts, protecting the afflicted *from* fire—and possibly from the ice of the white walkers. When Shireen died, I put that idea to bed, but I think that perhaps Jorah—who is already very much a shield for Dany—could be the one that discovers this.

he said "hanged" which is the correct phrasing of it

um I'm pretty sure when Jon and Sansa are having soup he says "after I came back" a clear insinuation that he told her about the resurrection and that she, presumably, told him everything about her time at Winterfell (backed up by his refusal to read the rape part of the letter)

I'm SO glad we're rid of the truly AWFUL reviewer from season 1. Can't even remember her name. She was horrible.

I think it's interesting that you assume Ramsay is the one that raided Stannis' camp. The show specifically didn't show us Ramsay. I think it was Yara.

but… the show has elevated its significance greatly from the books. The show has made a point of transferring the character of Jon Connington over to Jorah, giving him greyscale and probably sending him back to Westeros eventually. Shireen has also become much more prominent. With the confirmation of Valyrian steel…

Almost 100% clear that Brienne is going back on the road next season, but this time on a quest to find Bran and Rickon on behalf of Sansa. And I think that's when she'll finally cross paths with Lady Stoneheart.

Greyscale…… armor against the white walkers? Discuss.
