Why does Sansa literally cut down Jon Snow at every public meeting they have? Does she not realize how bad it makes them look if she's always rejecting his plans during these gatherings? At least discuss it before hand to get on the same level.

Also no one seems to care that Jon has been resurrected from the dead, even Milisandre doesn't mention it to Dany when speaking to her about him. Seems like the first or second thing I mentioned. "Oh yeah this guy who's so great and awesome? He was raised from the dead to kill more undead"

1) Because they are both right. We know that Jon is more right because we have extra info that the characters can't possibly know, but based on the knowledge that the characters have, Sansa is right on the money. Traitors should have been beheaded and their keeps given to the loyal lords (last episode). Jon is walking into an obvious trap, just like their father and his father before him (this episode). Sansa is saying the right things. She says it in front of the lords because she knows Jon won't listen to her if she voices her concerns in private.

2) Yeah that is a bit weird

Oh man I think you're right and the coda is gonna be Sam sitting down with quill and paper writing the show we just watched.

There weren't enough primary/secondary sources for Dorne and the Sand Snakes which is why they are written so turdishly.

We thought we were getting The War of the Roses, but with dragons and zombies. But what we got was The Outsiders with dragons and zombies.

The whole "Why won't you listen to me John????!!!!" and then just not mentioning the army she has at her beck and call before the battle of the bastards made me disgruntled toward her.

I like that the show is just pissing all over Martin's books.

George: "I'm going to tease Brienne and Jaimie."

Show: "Haha gently caress you, we're going to have Tormund pipe that down, and also here's a summary of the last two books because we know you'll never finish them."

I was discussing this the other night with a friend, but as progressive as the women in this show are supposed to be, the real chaotic evil assholes are all men. With the exception of Arya and lesbian greyjoy (who is lesbian! Don't let the show ever let you forget that!) all the female main characters are the 'strong leader' types, with Cersei mostly being an evil Disney queen.

I want to see an insane bloodthirsty female character for a change. Someone no one wants to gently caress with, like Mileena from the later MK games or something

Have they even tried talking to the white walkers and working out a deal? Maybe if you stop giving them insulting spooky names like night king and calling them the army of the dead they'd be a little more friendly.

Yeah I was gonna say, I dunno if sansa will directly betray him but the repeated meetings where snow voices his next plan of action, the entire room greets him with disapproval, and then he just runs over their views because he knows what's goood and best feels like it's probably leading towards some kind of fallout.

Littlefinger will talk her into some kind of minor usurpation, then overplay his hand by trying to grab her titty while twirling his moustache, she'll stab him in the neck and fall back in line with Jon.

It's a reference to his original holdings on the Fingers in the Vale. In the books no one calls him that to his face unless they are trying to be deliberately insulting :shrug:

Show LF is a bitch. What's he even doing in WF right now in the books at this point he is de facto lord of the Vale and Lord Paramount of the Trident plus he is marrying Sansa to the heir of the Vale and they're gonna off that kid.

"When I was a child, I was very small, and I come from a little spit of land called the Fingers, so you see, it's an exceedingly clever nickname."

(he says the last part sarcastically, because, in fact, he does NOT like his nickname)

Yeah they live in exactly the kind of world where glibly but transparently trying to hide between titles and formalities and the rule of law as a very, very obvious narcissist gets you killed (EDIT: at least without a ride-or-die crew of shooters, which LF kinda lacks), and they'll work backwards to the justification for it and the guy who takes your place after the fact.

It defies belief that none of the Lords of the Vale has already found some pretense to off him and are all actually dancing to his tune, TBH.

Season 5+ Littlefinger reminds me of this guy I know who tries to be way, way more manipulative than he has the smarts for always overplaying his hand to tragicomedic effect.

Probably not that many young fat guy good actors. The old fat guy actors who are good probably started out as regular guy actors who took fat guy roles when they got old and fat. Young fat guys who would be good actors don't bother because of the limited young fat guy roles.
