I agree. Sansa learned pretty quickly how to survive, and that's not nothing in Westeros. Her little moments of rebellion and strength are pretty quiet, but they're there -- even handing Tyrion the cup at the wedding was something a spoiled or stupid "pawn" wouldn't have done.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
GRRM gave Sansa an amazing turnaround. That might be the thing I like most about the series--how snottily impractical and annoying she was at the start, and how incredibly sympathetic she is now, having had her every dream destroyed and struggling through immense emotional distress.
None of the surviving Starks have it easy, but I think she's been in the most constant danger and had the most emotional development of all of them (although Jon Snow might no longer know absolutely nothing, I put Bran second--Arya is kind of stalling with her quest for vengeance--a lot is happening to her, but I don't feel she's grown up the same way as either of them--she just started out a fan favourite).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Braavos.
Angry Tyrion is pretty fucking hard core.

I hope Tywin or someone threatened Shae. That was cold.
I do like Oberon. His conversation with Varys was very interesting.
Also, dragon! That was unexpected.
Oh, and Theon! God, that was so painful, and nerve-wracking. Rmasey is insane.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Indeed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bravos! Dragon! I do feel bad for the goats, but a dragon's gotta eat.
I have a lot of feels re: Theon and Tyrion.

Was that Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes) as the Iron Banker?

Compassionately intolerant
Yep.
I'd know that voice anywhere.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It was interesting that they chose to keep the three storylines self-contained rather than cutting back and forth between the three monarchs.
