She seems to be jealous of all her siblings and their cool abilities The writers will desperately try and convey that Sansa will betray her family through contrivance and poor characterization in order to wring some cheap drama out of the Winterfell setting, but ultimately she turns her back on Littlefinger and orders his death.

Got to see dragons loving up Lannisters with fire. Good enough for me! Let's keep this plot rolling along here.

Last time Sansa saw Arya, she was just her little tomboy sister who daddy let play with a sword sometimes, not a loving sociopathic assassin with a murder list that's the Who's Who of Westeros.

I thought the sparring session was fine. I actually dislike it when the show gets too fancy with the fight choreography (because that results in poo poo like the Sand Snakes fight), to me, the ideal fight in the show is the Hound and Brienne beating the poo poo out of each other in the dirt.

also the best moment of Arya's return was her just sitting in the courtyard looking at Winterfell, and the Stark banners. such a satisfying, completely dialogue-free moment

You would think the Lannisters would spend less on shield decoration and more on neck protection for their troops. So many throat slashes. Edit: where were their scouts, they are sat in a valley and never thought to post pickets on that big rise right beside them. Or, I dunno, on one of the mesa. It would have still looked good, scout come charging in: "The sentries report Dothraki to the southwest. Thousands of them!" they get set up and there is tension of them coming over the rise.

Hound's fight scenes have pretty much all been great because there's no fancy choreography at all, it's just a big dude with armor and a big loving sword murdering people.

Battles are grubby, dirty-rear end things, they aren't the glorious spectacles of True Knights that singers love to sing about. that's pretty much a theme in the books as well.

Hold up, would that wagon of gold have been destroyed? Or is that closer to the front of the line?

I do think all the spoils of food they were planning to take from the Reach getting roasted is going to be important, though.

Propaganda Machine posted:She doesn't even give a poo poo that it drive Tommen to suicide. That's a seriously crazy Cersei plot point--her children are the only thing she cares about earlier in the series--and only Jaime even tries to give a poo poo about it. This is the biggest problem with the writing this season. Everything is 'please assume it happened off screen'. Like... I don't even know where to begin with examples because it is just everything.

Yet they deliberately say things like "All the gold made it safe!" and people come and post questions asking if the gold made it. The biggest offscreen problem is the teleporting. I get that they don't have time to devote to how long the travel would take, but it would be nice if they framed things somewhat.

Sansa is just jealous that her own dark, twisted story since she last saw her siblings had relatively little payoff compared to what she sees in Brann, Jon, and Arya. Sansa is free, back home in Winterfell, and got to see one of her torturers punished, but that was it. Whatever poo poo Brann and Arya have seen and experienced saw them make it back home, but with super powers. Jon is a resurrected Kingadanorf, and savior the wildlings. Sansa is just a girl with a famous last name, whose only purpose is playing caretaker to her much more powerful and useful siblings. No one needs her anymore. She is just a delicate object that her three superpowered siblings will have to protect.

This is literally "tactical realism" but with absolute air and ground superiority through combined-dragon-arms, why would you not focus your close air support on the troop lines themselves and secure the now basically priceless provisions in the baggage train to take back to Dragonstone instead of destroying them?  Like, maybe the intent was initially just a raid but it's pretty clear it turned into just a complete route and curb-stombing, especially since the next episode teaser implies she's got a bunch of prisoners. Adjust your plans and get that wheat, girl.

thinking about Bran and it would actually be dramatically ironic if Bran caused LF's downfall, since Bran is pretty much the perfect embodiment of what Littlefinger considers himself to be.

I might be misremembering but I think at that point the entire Lannister line was engaged with the Dothraki, so Dany would have risked roasting them as well.

I actually enjoyed how paranoid Sansa is about the list after Arya has been so evasive about it. She has to be thinking that last time they saw each other she kind of hated her. I enjoyed the sparring, I do like the gritty style of the hounds fights and the less choreographed stuff, but when its one character who has a distinct style that marks her out as almost otherworldly it kind of adds to the characterisation. Just lots of little details in how Arya moves like how she played with the dagger before handing it to Brienne was good and cool.
