Not much you can do when all your bannermen turn against you. (I think the point of having them all over for tea at KL was to highlight this and maybe counter this criticism)

Question about last episode. Why was Jon so openly hostile towards LittleFinger, the man who literally saved all of their lives? Perhaps we are to assume Sansa or Lord Royce told him some stories but he could still at least say thank you or something!

oh no, he hasn't taken MDMA. he's like that first time tripper who ate too much acid and then was informed 30 minutes into it that he can't just make it stop, he's gonna have to find a way to cope for the next 10-12 hours. which is basically like an eternity.

his soul is dead, he hates his life. too much baggage and not enough strength

Probably too many episodes for it to be feasible but would be cool if the White Walkers killed everyone while they're busy fighting each other. Nice lesson about working together or something.

Apparently the script for next weeks episode was leaked...

Careful when reading forums and stuff up until then if you don't want to get straight up spoiled

Maybe her constant unearned arrogance and hypocrisy will eventually be punished. It sure hasn't happened yet but if that happens I'll eat my words and say I was wrong. But my guess is that she'll face some adversity, OVERCOME THE ODDS, and ultimately sit atop the throne at the end of the show. Her character arc will have been 8 seasons of people around her telling her how great & important she is while she makes bad decisions and rides her dragons to the top.

I just don't get why you'd create this big awesome universe filled with nuance where actions have consequences, if the resolution is gonna be actually you can just click buttons for 8 seasons if you have dragons, hell ya girl power. It completely undermines all of the great stuff that has happened so far. And tbh it's always been lurking- there's always been a sense of "ok Varys & LF working their way to the top is cool, but who cares let's skip to the part where Daenerys takes KL". She's been a huge problem on the show ever since it was clear that she's invincible. Even now, Jaime outmaneuvering Tyrion is less meaningful than it's trying to be because, as his been pointed out on the show, Daenerys can ride her dragons over to KL and take it whenever she wants.

This. Dany dying now would be such an awesome unexpected turn of events. And not, like, dany sacrifices herself and her dragons to beat the white walkers dying, like cersei traps her and has her impaled or something. Would re-establish the show as the GOAT

More or less the entire plot to the season was leaked well before the season started, if you want to go looking for it. I'm mostly unspoiled but do know a couple points.

I guess you think him mentioning loving Sansa should be all there is to the story? Yeah no, Jon was rude to him before he said that.

The Jon/Littlefinger thing does seem like bad writing.

I think he'd only know Littlefinger gave Sansa to Ramsay if Sansa told him, and since she seems to have accepted Littlefinger's excuses, she's unlikely to have painted him in a bad light. I don't think Jon knows anything about Littlefinger having set Ned up. How would he?

Isn't everything LF has done common knowledge at this point? How could a northern Lord not have brought any of this to John's attention. On a separate note , what do you think a fair price is on Sansa giving LF a shag?

Agree. The way the character has evolved, the only take home message seems to be "if you're good looking enough, you can achieve anything".

This weeks beatdown was a long time coming, however she needs a bit more of a literal bloody nose for the character to gain any empathy at this point.

Something like Sansa going full-Cersei and knocking her off would take away the air of predictability that has crept in the last few seasons.

No talk of Bran with the shady boots towards Sansa? What's up with that? Did not look happy to see her at all.

My theory: Bran sees Sansa's future and sees Littlefinger and her up to no good. Littlefinger foreshadowed this with his speech to her this episode. Heel turn under way.
