Everyone expected Jon to come back, hard, pissed off, and fighting - myself included. He came back with perspective. He's not wrong, he's been fighting since he got there and he's lost. He won a few fights, but lost more. I hadn't considered him finding clarity and objectivity in death. Which is far more likely. Yeah, the white walkers are coming, but he fired all the bullets he had and failed miserably. There isn't any way he would know of to continue to the fight. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I'm glad they did it. |

I don't think the show runners made Loras a pussy. He has always been a pussy underneath. The loss of the love of his life - Renly - paired with becoming a prisoner just brought it ought. No way the Tyrell women told any of the Tyrell men anything about anything important. The only Tyrell man who isn't a buffoon is the one who doesn't exist in the show universe (Garlan). The Queen of Tears is the real power of that house, just like Margaery will be (if she lives).

Dying seems to have revealed to Jon what his uncle and cousin never learned until it was too late... That life isn't black and white, and decisions can't be made entirely on codes of honor. It's taken a little of the steel out of his spine, but I suspect that will return. It's just that he has been to the void and doesn't want to rush back into it.

So since the preview for next week shows Baelish talking to Sansa......does that mean that he's come to offer to join armies?

The compelling part of this season so far is how far off GoT it is, with the Starks uniting, Jon's resurrection being seen from a mile away, we've been beaten down with Stark deaths over the years so we're groomed to think that Baelish is going to betray them, or Ramsay will win somehow. I pray the showrunners make the remainder of the season a win for the Starks, they deserve it. I hope that either Ghost kills and eats Ramsay, or that Ramsay gets beheaded by Brienne's sword but it's Sansa who swings it. I don't know, wishful thinking. |

I think Baelish's end game is to:
1) Marry Sansa 2) Become king of Westeros If it's in the interest of either of those things for him to support a specific person or cause, he'll do it. So uniting the North under Sansa is good for him. It gets the Northern army all United. And ... Since the north has been so sit upon by the Lannisters, he'll have that army motivated to go south again. He has Sweet Robin doing all of his bidding, so that army is in the bag, too (as long as none of the ruthless Vale lords get smart, and he seems to have purchased the loyalty of them). All of his moves have been setting this up, IMO. So yeah... Bolton's gonna be the victim now, unless of course, they get Baelish's first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are the Sparrows and the Faith Militant a part of Littlefinger's machinations, or are they the proverbial fly in the soup?

I think after Jon and Sansa whip Ramsay, next stop needs to be basically putting a permanent end to those f***ing Freys. Go all Rains of Castamere on them and end that whole family line for good. Then move on to the Lannisters. Last edited by Hawk; 05-17-2016 at 12:32 PM.. |
