The Sansa plot is combining stuff from the books in ways I didn't expect. I wonder where they're going with it.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

I could not begin to predict. Apart from everything else, I am shocked that they are calling her Sansa. I have no idea how this will play out.
Will we ever see Bran again?

I'm hoping we see Bran again relatively soon.
That was a really convenient "Oh, you're not married to Tyrion anymore." You'd think an annulment would require some kind of official something.
Considering that they had Gilly and Shireen talking about greyscale in the last episode, and then the priest (priestess?) mentioning it again in this one, I figure they're going somewhere with that.

Maybe losing the trial by combat makes him officially dead for the purposes of his wife being able to remarry? I could see Westeros (show!Westeros, I mean) having rules like that. Or weddings that happen in King's Landing stay in King's Landing, the North can ignore them if it wants.
In any case, an explicit explanation would be nice.
Yeah, that's a lot of mentioning of greyscale, surely something will come of that.

Petyr said something about how they're not married because it was never consummated, but that still seems weird without an official annulment. By that logic, they stopped being married a while ago.

I thought that was just that she was still a virgin, but I may have tuned out part of that conversation because ick.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm pretty sure it's annulment by handwavium. Some combination of virginity + Tyrion's supposed to be dead by now + we're planning to overthrow the king anyway, right, so, like, what's a little bigamy between allies?
I'm kind of surprised Sansa didn't bring it up, though. (Maybe she did offscreen, but still.)
With this ep, I now understand how people who haven't read the books have been feeling for the past 4 seasons of this show! (Characters! Characters in new places!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sansa and Tyrion had a "white marriage" i.e., unconsummated. That was commonly dismissed as Not Counting.

It's disorienting, but kind of exciting.

Art Crawl!!!
So true.
So anyone think that we'll have a rescue by Brienne and then a series of adventures on the road with Brienne, Sansa and Pod?
