GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

So yeah that EW article's Arya picture was just her Braavosi "Cat of the Canals" costume. So we get to see her early missions this season.

But they did make one big change from the books that was already set up earlier: It looks like Arya gets to knock a name off her list!

That was pretty much obvious the moment Cersei sent Meryn to Braavos at the beginning of the season.

If they're just now adding the Greyjoy shit next season and doing Sam and fam, I'm less and less convinced this ends in 7 seasons. Those two moves seem like attempts to stretch the show instead of condensing. I remember some HBO exec talking about the 7 season plan, but I could've sworn that had since been replaced with "as many seasons as it takes".

Sansa is a piece of shit and I've basically been waiting for her to die ever since she got Lady killed back in the first book.

Not to defend Sansa, but wasn't it Arya, Nymeria, and Joffrey who got Lady killed?

Sansa lied about the incident, letting the blame fall on Arya. Since they couldn't punish Arya, and Nymeria wasn't there, she basically got Lady killed:

Looking at that scene they do look so much younger

I don't hate book Sansa, because she was indeed an idiotic kid until like book 5 or whenever she's following Baelish around incognito, where she receives an upgrade to painfully naive teenager. Which is where it starts to be fair to hate her for being stupid because all the horrible things that have happened around her and to her should have at least shocked her out of her naivete, even if they didn't turn her into a malicious self-serving schemer like everyone else in Westeros. Like, has she even begun to suspect Baelish of ulterior motives yet, or is she still just happily clinging on to her 'rescuer'?

TV Sansa is a couple years older, so it's a lot harder to feel sympathy for her because she has no real excuse to be that fucking stupid, aside from mommy and daddy coddling their little princess. Props to her for at least making some kind of an effort with the Ramsay thing, but I feel like she either didn't really think that through, or she somehow never heard any of the tales about what kind of a depraved monster Ramsay is. Either way she's in way over her head, and it might end up going very badly for her. Maybe instead of merging the role of Lady Stoneheart with Sansa, Sansa will actually literally become Lady Stoneheart after Ramsay flays her alive and sets his dogs on her, and Jon Stark-Targaryen orders Melisandre to bring her back.

Listening to Sansa get flayed alive off camera would probably make everyone forget all about the 'rape' scene with Ramsay.

I think she's going to try to stab Ramsay with her corkscrew but he will stop her, then Theon is going to go super saiyan and tear him to shreds. I think the most uncomfortable part of that whole rape scene was looking at Theon's ugly face

Sophie Turner's acting ability is pretty good for her age.

Her character is useless and annoying most of the time.

I'd like to see her in more first, but yeah, she's astonishingly good at this role. That's why I thought all the outrage did her a disservice as an actor. Both her and the Welsh kid that plays Ramsay are Emmy/bafta worthy this season.

Are you saying it would have been better looking into Sansa's face as it happened?

What would you prefer watching Ramsay's face? What's the point of watching a rape scene if you can't see the victim crying. Tears make for the best boners.

I think so. It was a character break for reek.

Seeing sansa's face wouldve been better characterization of the moment. Maybe she keeps a straight enough face to show that she's accepting as part of a bigger plan. Who knows.

Seems odd to have her get a "new face" to be Cat of the Canals yet look exactly like Arya still

Oh I agree that looking deeply into Sansa's eyes when it happened would have been better. I love the look of passion in women's eyes when they have consensual sex.

they could do it like they did in RIPD. they made ryan reynolds and jeff bridges into an old chinaman and a blonde bimbo by changing the PoVs of how other saw them.
