The explanation for Sansa's decision is plot contrivance to maximize drama. It's just sloppy writing.

Jon really seemed like a hot headed boy instead of a seasoned commander.

They removed the one redeeming part of the book plot :(

Seriously. I mean this is a fantasy, they could have just had Melly cast a spell on him, to make him him hard to hit with arrows or something. Like when he is talking about not being raised again, she could just say "The Lord of Light will protect you. Fight with blazing courage, and the arrows will part before you…

I was the never the fan of the Red Wedding that everyone else was. You can't have multiple events like that because then you lose all your main characters. Many book readers complain about the plodding, diffuse, confused organization of the fourth and fifth books, but GRRM wrote himself into to a corner with RW. Once…

The dragons don't speak english!

Yeah, I guess. But there was literally no reason for Ramsay to have kept Rickon alive in the first place, I doubt her actions could have had any effect on that point.

I hope not. The problem with this is that it will lose a lot it's emotional impact. We only saw him for a handful of scenes, I still hope they somehow bring Catelyn back.

She should have chopped his dick off and fed it to him. Too much?

You could have just said "constructed" dude lol.

History is full of examples of leaders radical changing culture and society. Just look at Emperor Constantine for example.

People need calm down about the grade. The scenes themselves were visually and emotionally engaging, but the plotting was both predictable and flawed logically. I might give it a B+, but I don't think you can give an episode an A when the main actions stem from Jon and Sansa's inexplicable decision making.

She knows, she was raped. She wants it changed, she expressly forbade it. I don't see how that makes her a hypocrite. If she doesn't lead the army, that makes the whole raping thing more likely, not less.

I just meant team Jon in general, I assume they were mostly Wildlings.

I liked the episode, my issues with the battle were the contrivances to get there and the predictability of the outcome. Still everything else about it was well done enough to make it one of the better episodes in the season.

If she went Dark Phoenix on house Frey, I would be joyful enough for every commenter, every man, woman, child, and undead creature.

Too bad the writers made Ellaria a vengeful idiot.

No way. There is zero percent chance of that happening. It would be different if this were something isolated, but the whole sequence of events in the last two seasons, Sansa going North, Little Finger sending her there, Ramsay and his twenty good men, Stannis burning his only heir, all were hand-waving contrivances…

She forbade her Dothraki army from raping back in the first season though, that was part of her reform package.

Apparently they have lots of virgin forests somewhere.
