Well, that was seriously fucked up. Can't say I'm pleased with the changes to Sansa's story.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

No- the Northern Uprising can't come soon enough.
Lord Petur's game? Just a reason to get his troops to the north?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What the fucking fuck, GRRM would never have done that, fuck this show. Ugh.
Some good/interesting stuff in this episode but ugh.
And remember, the real victim in all of this is the person who has to watch it. Hey, wait, that's us!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, I have a hard time believing that Sansa's move would not have been to stall the wedding, or at least attempt to.

GRRM has been intimately involved in the storylines of the show so I doubt very much they would have pulled that Sansa scene out of nowhere. Still, that was brutal. I guess from Sansa's POV she'd dodged the bullet twice, and this was inevitable. Fuck.

Wolfram, your premise was true for the first few seasons, but I don't know that it is at this point.

Yeah, after both this and the Jaime scene, he's had to resort to diplomatic "The show is not the books, they are different, they made different choices [that I cannot publicly condemn because my name is attached to the series and I have to keep working with these people]" posts.

I have been concerned about Sansa's story heading this way since they basically have been subbing her into the book spoilers Jeyne Poole storyline. It was kind of inevitable and it certainly could have been worse. Still it annoyed me. Given what we know of Littlefinger both in book world and show world, it just doesn't seem like he would've let it go down like that, if not for Sansa herself, then at least for Catelyn. And there's no way with all his spying and scheming that he'd not be aware that 1) Ramsay is a sociopath and 2)marital rape is kind of a thing in this world, therefore 3)Sansa + Ramsay + Marriage = rape at best or something much uglier at worst. Uh uh.
I am still grooving on Arya's storyline, though. That girl is the business.
