    Why are Cersei's assassins at the Vale but not Winterfell? Sansa was hidden at the Vale but by marrying Ramsay she's revealed herself to Cersei. Your reasons just make no sense; in fact the opposite is true.

    Pretty sure it was supposed to be comedy.

    You said there were several major hurdles.
    It just ain't so. The Starks have ruled the North for thousands of years. Basically all that needs to happen is the deposition of the Boltons by Stannis to set things aright again. The Lannisters are obviously dead in the water and winter is coming. There's no reason to think

    She was not forced, Littlefinger gave her the option, argued that she should take control, and she consented. At what point was she forced?

    What hurdles?
    She just has to stir up internal conflict in Winterfell just as Stannis attacks — and she already knows exactly how to do that, with Walda's pregnancy. That would almost surely lead to the Boltons' downfall.
    Stannis is renowned for his adherence to justice and the rule of law, and Sansa is the heir to

    When people say something was "convenient" they normally mean that an interested party was involved behind the scenes. That makes no sense in this context. It wasn't Jon's decision and there was nothing else Jon could do. I dunno how your comment could be more incorrect.

    It was several minutes before any guards appeared. The heir to Dorne was physically assaulted. There was nothing to suggest what you're saying is the case. It was absurd.

    Martin's pace of writing in terms of words is actually fairly typical for an author. Your entitled blubbering is fairly embarrassing to watch.

    The people suggesting Sansa didn't consciously agree to have her virginity taken by Ramsay are essentially calling her an idiot and robbing her of her agency.
    It was her decision. The show can't have been clearer. She knew exactly what it meant to agree to marry Ramsay. She thought that was a fair price for what will

    It's a fortress with guards. What are you even talking about?

    The Night's Watch was mutinous and divided. Jon didn't force Slynt to reject a simple order, Slynt did that himself. Jon had no other choice if he was to keep the Night's Watch together.

    I definitely enjoyed this episode. Visually especially. Arya's story has been pretty boring this season in my opinion, but the hall of faces was brilliantly executed. The North also looked fantastic. I found those scenes very atmospheric and they really seem to be bringing the series full circle. I'm pretty stoked to

    You understand they didn't actually rape the actress, right?
    And that exploring something in film is not the same as endorsing it?
    If you found it "fetishy" I guess that says more about you than anyone else. Personally I found rather gruesome, and portrayed as such.

    So we should therefore be racist in fantasy?
    Look, I just care so little about all of this crap. It's purely people trying to score points.
    Remember at the end of the third season when Dany freed all of the slaves and these same people had a collective shit about the fact that the slaves were brown?
    And now we're

    If she didn't want to have sex with Ramsay she shouldn't have agreed to marry him.
    She essentially consented to be "raped" (cogently) in exchange for the ability to enact her revenge.

    It could have been fine. Prince Doran is a pacifist. A Dornish aggressor (Oberyn's paramour and the Sand Snakes for instance) tries to steal Myrcella. They fail and are imprisoned. Then Doran reveals his patient hatred for the crown and support of the Targaeryens.

    It's mainly in the execution I think. The actual idea of Jaime and Bronn racing against the Sand Snakes, both trying to steal Myrcella… it could have worked. But the way it was filmed was just incoherent. Why does Myrcella have no guard? Jaime and Bronn just saunter into the royal palace and chat to her? It was

    Even calling this a "rape" is a little bizarre to me. Exactly as you said. She agreed to Littlefinger to wed Ramsay. Then she actually wed Ramsay. In the world of Westeros, both of these entail having sex with Ramsay. The people who are genuinely surprised Ramsay had sex with Sansa… I'm sorry, they're just idiots.

    But… that's what his character is.
    People like this do exist in the world, you know. Without Ramsay, Martin wouldn't span the whole gamut of the moral spectrum.
    Your complaint is basically, "this character sucks because he doesn't have the personality traits I would prefer he had".
    His evil has no purpose. You are

    There have been plenty of black slavers through history.
    Why are you so concerned about people's skin colour anyway?
    And you're saying black people should only ever be subjugated on screen? Sounds pretty racist to me.
    I award you minus 10 SJW points.
