Grin Anyone else counting down the days! I actually get nervous thinking about it. I have re watched all series and reading the books to pass the time.

Can't wait to see what they do with Sansa and Tyrion this series. And will we see the hound again and lady stone heart?

Well I know who the relative is

What do you mean by The relative? Isn't the whole point of Game of Thrones that there are about 12 claimants to the throne or thrones?

Vivacia · 19/05/2015 09:19

Ah, I see now pony

In the bath, Miranda was stripping the colour from Sansa's hair. I think that this was a foreshadowing that DarthSansa was losing her power. She's also slowly begun to look more and more like Cat, but for wedding she looked a lot more like young, powerless, Sansa again.

We were talking about relatives to Daenerys so I meant Maester Aemon when I wrote the post, but afterwards thought that maybe the Wink meant that the poster was referring to Jon Snow due to the alternate theory to who his birth parents are.

Vivacia · 19/05/2015 10:23

Ahhh. Don't forget that we possibly have another male Targaryan with a stronger claim than either of them.

rallytog1 · 19/05/2015 13:46

I was referring to Jon Snow Stark - didn't want to make it too obvious just in case...

rallytog1 · 19/05/2015 13:48

Who's the other one Vivacia?

yumyumpoppycat · 19/05/2015 14:08

Drat, I really want Arya's lie to be that rather than that she hated him so the hound is still alive. But yup wishful thinking. I guess Arya was conflicted when she left him to die, partly punishment and partly in hope he would somehow make it, but that their journey was finished?

yumyumpoppycat · 19/05/2015 14:14

Vivaci yes you are right about Miranda squeezing out Sansa's hair colour. Sansa was much more vulnerable and young seeming at the wedding etc than in previous episodes where her hair was dark and she was wearing the intimidating black dress she made ...and it is Ramsay and Miranda squeezing the fight out of her (very samson and Delilah) Sad

Vivacia · 19/05/2015 14:36

Aegon rally.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/05/2015 14:40

We do in the books, Vivacia, but not so far in GOT - if I'm remembering correctly!

PreviouslyMal · 19/05/2015 14:47

In the book , the hound is definitely dead (and buried) someone else has stolen his helmet and is going around raping/ killing which is a shame as whatever else sandor clegane was, he wasn't a rapist, I feel like his name has been sullied.
The tv show is now starting to annoy me, Littlefinger would have known what a psychopath Ramsay is, surely? I've lost all interest in what his long term plan is now.

I'm also wondering when Cersei will be doing her "walk of penance" , I'm sure I've read about her having a body double for the scenes.
I really wish I hadn't read the books, especially as the next one doesn't seem to be anywhere near release.

yumyumpoppycat · 19/05/2015 14:49

Oh yes I don't think Aegon has been mentioned on GOT. Maybe dragon fire will be the test of who succeeds the throne

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/05/2015 14:52

In the books there was an extremely strong hint that the Hound was not dead and buried! Mysterious chap at the monastery I thought was probably the Hound, finally in a peaceful place, with the abbot or whatever he was lying to protect him.

But yes, his name was indeed being sullied by another.

yumyumpoppycat · 19/05/2015 14:55

Previously shhh don't say that, GoT could change that minor detail (in denial)

I am glad I read the books as I mostly enjoyed them and my memory is useless so I can't remember them that well-- I am still not really sure where the tv show will go, but I do wish he would hurry up and publish the next book. I am sort of thinking that this is not the most exciting series and comparing details with the books is keeping the conversation going a bit?

yumyumpoppycat · 19/05/2015 14:57

Hope restored, thanks gasp!

Daimgirl · 19/05/2015 16:24

While I hated the scene too I do think it was in context of the characters.

After all Ramsey couldn't have it said that marriage hadn't been consummated, and as someone said above if he'd pretended to be 'nice' it would have been worse later.

As for Sansa, I think all her illusions of courtly love and marriage have been stripped away, she has realised that as a young woman with (as far as she knows) no living family to protect her, what else was going to happen to her?

She goes back to Kings Landing Cersie would have seen to it that as bad or even worse would happen.

I think somewhere in her head she expected what was going to happen (well not the Theon bit).

I want to think that the whole making her look vulnerable etc is part of a bigger plan.

Ramsey to truly secure Winterfell, really needs a son from her. He will then not only be there just though force but also through inheritance.

Sansa can't risk appearing too independent, after all all she is to him is an incubator. Incubators don't need fingers toes etc. .

Littlefinger is defiantly playing the long game, and I cant believe that Sansa doesn't play some part in that.

But what do I know. . . .

limitedperiodonly · 19/05/2015 16:39

What Ramsay has done to Theon is far greater than his rape of Sansa.

That's not to diminish her suffering, but in terms of physical pain, ongoing disfigurement, physical problems and psychological degradation I know which fate I'd choose.

No one started a thread about that.

I'm far from a MRA person BTW.

I just don't like the idea that rape is a fate worse than death for women or should never be referenced in popular culture in word or form.

I'm not diminishing it or women who have been damaged physically or psychologically.

But neither am I diminishing the ability of countless women to overcome it and treat their rapists as the scum that they are.

mistymeanour · 19/05/2015 16:43

Vivacia you are right Sansa really has everything stripped away, really looked like the "little" Sansa from Joffrey days. Now she has even been debased in her own home.

AmberFool · 19/05/2015 17:10

Has anyone read the Sansa chapter from the forthcoming book? She is still using her manners as her armour and her words are still her sword. She is still playing the game of thrones.

Sansa in the show. Victim yet again. And empowerment through rape. Here's a novel idea idea: women don't need to be raped to be empowered but maybe someone should tell the show writers/decision makers that. How many main female characters have been raped now?

And limited I disagree. What Ramsey did to Theon and what he did to Sansa is exactly the same: pure degradation. It's all about power and control.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 19/05/2015 17:15

During the fight between Jaime, Bronn and the Sand Snakes, did Bronn get stabbed in the arm? If so that doesn't bode well for him - don't the Dornish people lace their weapons with poison?

StGodolphin · 19/05/2015 17:22

We knew Sansa would end up with nothing and no one, its all in her name :(

tyto · 19/05/2015 17:22

Is the older girl who is washing the bodies also Arya?

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 19/05/2015 17:27

Also arya? No she's another apprentice

Vivacia · 19/05/2015 17:49

Are you addressing any post in particular limited or just making a general statement?

And empowerment through rape

This seems to be a Thing on the american sites. I'd never heard of it before, but it appears to be a trope they have in their films and programmes Hmm. Never noticed it before.

Vivacia · 19/05/2015 17:50

its all in her name

Nice spot Godolphin!
