No, her first response was to have him burned and placed with his grandfather, brother and sister. THEN she took his throne.

I was also surprised we didn’t see Ghost.

Yeah, I agree. He’s going to still be with her the way he will always be with Theon—and it’s not because of a pregnancy. In Westeros, a pregnancy can be fixed any number of ways. If you’re pro-life, she gives the baby away. The country has been at war for like five years, plenty of folks need or want a kid. She never…

Yes, she wrote a letter, probably to Littlefinger. But we never saw a sign that she’d gotten a response back. Remember, the last time she’d talked to LF, she’d almost set Brienne to kill him—not a good indication the man would want to help her. We never saw her get any communication back from that message. It’s not…

And also Sansa’s estimate of 5000 was from when the Boltons (when Roose was still alive) went after . . . Moat Caelin? a season or so back. The estimate probably didn’t include the Umber, Karstark, and other forces that had joined up after Ramsey became Warden of the North.

They couldn’t wait—for the same reason Stannis got bogged down there—it is WINTER in the North, and they couldn’t count on the weather to hold out. One snow storm (that could potentially produce up to 10 feet of snow) would have have destroyed their chance at a battle at all, and a siege was not going to work for…

I’ll give you that she’s the least family-oriented Stark, and maybe I see it that way because I don’t really expect siblings to automatically like or even tolerate each other. (Personal experience plays into that.)

She correctly identified Ramsey modus operandi, and I think I’m coming down on the side that says she played a major part in delaying the Vale arrival until the right moment, but mostly . . . I really have to give her the whole dog scene as a win.

Death order doesn’t stop a marriage (Catelyn was still Ned’s wife when he actually got executed), and the only people who can say it wasn’t consummated are Sansa and Tyrion. I think anyone else who had testimony or evidence to the contrary is either dead—Shae—or got it from one of those two. Depending on the…

I still think Gendry is the “gift” Littlefinger gave to Olenna last season. You know, in the brothel were he said he’d give her the same gift he gave Cersei—”a handsome young man.” We know LF gave Cersei information on Robert’s bastards (one was killed in that same brothel), and Olenna had just said that she had no…

Actually, he spent a lot of time with a Wildling and a Direwolf. I would think he could have learned a little something about being sneaky.

I kept wanting him to go run behind one of the burning guys for just a little bit of cover. I think I actually yelled at the screen at least once for him to run sideways.

Yeah, he had Wun-Wun, but where was Ghost?

You’re thinking of the chat about the Blackfish—which Jon referenced in their discussion in the tent. Sansa had mentioned pulling in the Tully army and sent Brienne. Apparently, given Jon’s dismissal of the Blackfish when he and Sansa had their chat before the battle, they had gotten Brienne’s raven about the…

Why does no one think Jon was responsible for the whole thing? He and Sansa may have made a lot more plans after the bit we saw, because there was a gap in time before he goes to the Red Witch and says ‘if I fall, don’t bring me back.’ Maybe that means he thought there was a real chance he would die because he was to…

Don’t you think he sacrificed more of his supporting forces than his own? Don’t forget Tormund took out the Umber.

You might want to watch the timing there. She goes left, but she was at the main camp later that night.

I agree that she’s learned not to trust people, but that doesn’t make her an awful person. Name one person she’s encountered (outside of Tyrion and Brienne) since her father died that has actually been worthy of her trust. Everytime she has thought she found safety and an ally, that ally has betrayed her. I can’t…

Possibly—depends on how many people he went into the siege with in the first place. Remember, we were just told by the Blackfish that he could hold out for two years, but that was with what even the Freys thought was a small force of men. (He compares his hundreds with Jaime’s thousands during their little chat.) Ned…

And you think a guy who ran a brothel won’t realize he’s being had with one of the oldest cons in the book?
