Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

Dany is infertile, they had no connection to each other before they were adults, and are unaware of their blood ties so if you were striving to make the most agreeable aunt/nephew relationship possible this one would probably be it.

Also, they really hosed up the wall fall tormund beric scene.

I see where the confusion lies. They broke the 180 rule. They showed T & B watching the wall fall while standing on the left side looking right. Then they jumped over to the other side and the wall fell with them on the right. Also, they never showed B&T again. Should have at least had one reaction shot.

Also, why is the wall different on that end? At the main castle. Castle black, there is an elevator up to the top of the wall and a tunnel at the bottom. But for some reason at the other end it's just scafoolding and tunnels inside the wall, too. It's like they just changed the wall this year because they are dumb.

Is there any explanation for the whole "Arya intimidating Sansa after she found the faces" scene, bearing in mind the eventual outcome? Is the implication that they thought Baelish was watching them and therefore it was a performance? If not wasn't it purely for the audience's benefit, to (poorly) misdirect people?

Or just bad writing?

The bad writing was not showing the scene between Sansas meeting w/ LIttledick and his execution. The scene where Sansa goes to Bran and asks his advice and Bran is like, Little is a prick and this is what he has done blah blah blah. It is implied but not shown. It was probably filmed but they felt it was more important wasting 30 minutes at the dragon pit rather than having a sensible narrative.

Oh wait, but then it wouldn't be a surprise when the twist comes and it's not Arya on trial. Fine, don't show the Bran scene, at least mention off hand that they talked or anything really. Most of the people who watch this show are dumb as bricks and probably read the books and unless things are spelled out for them with terrible book writing can't figure things out.

I think she was just being a bitchy teenager? Arya had no idea she'd been out-played by Littlefinger, because political maneuvering isn't her area of expertise. She was good at spying, but not good enough to know she was being lead to find certain things.


Sansa was thrown into the deep end of the politics pool, and was mostly useless. Years of being mostly useless. She was a pawn with no control over her life, but this shows that she was paying attention all those years in politics school. She knew Baelish was a snake, and she finally found a way to get rid of him without losing the men of the Vale.

Nah. Everything Sansa accused him of was stuff Sansa herself knew about. Her nutso aunt wasn't the most subtle person, and griped all the time so Sansa could easily have learned about the poisoning the husband and lying about it. And she saw Littlefinger throw her aunt through the floor hole, he did it to save Sansa's life. The bits Bran and Arya added at the 'trial' was helpful, but it wasn't necessary.

The situation was all about Sansa recognising her power and choosing to stop being a pawn in other people's games. She didn't need to confer and scheme ahead of time. She's ready to be the Queen in the North.

No. Sorry. You are wrong on the internet and must be told.

Arya knew exactly what was going on so she was in on it. Bran knew what was going on. He was in on it. This implies they had spoken before. But who cares. The writing this episode was bad. I already mentioned too much time in KL and not showing a reaction shot of B&T when the wall fell.

Show don't tell. And if you are going to imply things, do it in a way that makes sense. Jumping from Sansa being paranoid about Arya to killing Littlefinger is poor writing. They could have done it really subtly by having a 5 second shot of Sansa walking up to Bran to talk between those scenes.

Remember, Sansa did state that Baelish was complicit in Neds death. She only knew that from talking to Bran. That's the only way she could have known.
