As I also mentioned, I didn't expect Sansa to pull out a knife and kill Ramsay. What I did expect was for her to be ready for the situation and to take control of it. She could take control by actually being aggressive sexually with Ramsay which would have thrown him off his game and shown her strength. They could also have shown her acting like she was scared and submissive but under control with rage building as she bides her time for revenge.


This assumes the scene is meant to advance Sansa's character and I dont think it is.

IMO the scene is not about Sansa and what she's going through as much as it's building to Theon/Reek finally regaining the strength to stand up to/disobey Ramsey.

The transformation from the broken man who crawled back in his cage when his sister came to rescue him to someone who will disobey Ramsey and help Sansa. Thats why the camera focus was on him and not her.

They had no issue showing Cersei's face when Jamie raped her. One would assume if the scene was about Sansa they would have done the same.

That is what Sansa would do.


based on what? You are giving her WAY too much credit for her only scene of 'strength' in which she stands up to a base born kennel masters daughter. In reality Sansa is still a little bird saying and doing what she is told to. First it was Septa Mordane, then Cersei, now it's LF.

ETA: Odd how when you go back and look at the reviews of the episode where Jamie rapes Cersie ( LINK) some of the critics who are outraged over the scene with Sansa had no real issues with what happened to Cersei.

It will be hard for me to buy Jon Snow getting the letter and taking off to rescue Sansa later on also. Assuming the show even goes that route.

Part of Jon saying "frick it in going to save my baby sister in Winterfell" was because he thought it was Arya. He has a very special relationship with Arya. He gave her Needle, which is obviously a big deal because she couldn't make herself part with Needle in Braavos.

The fact that it would be Sansa, whom he didn't speak with much and them being two characters that rarely think of each other except when someone brings up bastards around Sansa, is gonna be hard to believe. Jon knows of other bad things that's happened to his family. None of them caused him to act. Once he heard of "Arya" being harmed he snaps. I think there's a reason why Arya sets him off

Cause Cercei wasn't raped. The show poorly executed that scene. Cercei wanted it as much as Jamie did
