Problem with it is, she would have to find out relatively quickly and last we heard she was in the Riverlands.
Or maybe she does it thinking he is the only one who can protect her remaining children? Still geographically far away though.

That's pretty weak points for why she'll be on the show

GRRM wouldn't just bring her back for no reason. She has an important purpose. Also I'm flying to Australia right now so I'm going to FINALLY ready TWOIAF

I'd be really shocked if they bring her in at this point. I really can't see that happening even with the points they listed.
I'd lose my shite if they did though.

I still haven't read that yet. I've been meaning to, just haven't had the time yet. Let me know if it is a good read.

I think it's pretty cool. Tons of illustrations. You may have already read a lot of stuff on your own, or watched/read/listened to the histories of everything. I got it and loved reading it

Cool, thanks.
I'm guessing your right that I probably know a lot of the history stuff in the book, but I figured it would still me worth the read.

I loved it. Treat it like a history book.

The only way I'll believe they are going to do it is if someone mentions in passing that a few Freys have gone missing in the Riverlands or something. That's when I'll get my hopes up.
I'd be really shocked if they bring her in at this point.
Do we think Varys is still going to kill Kev and Pycelle? I'm hoping he's made his way back to the Red Keep by now.

I'm sticking with my Lady SansaHeart theory. Because really, I think that's the only role I can envision her in long term, short of just getting killed outright.

What's your theory?

Well if you believe the IMDB casting page, Varys and Kevan are both listed for the final episode

There are a lot of characters that I feel this way about at this point that you would think play a role in the end game. Aegon and Connington, the whole Kingsmoot and Stoneheart all have characters that are way out of position and timing to fit them into the story at this point.
- Dany is about to ride Drogon at the end of the season so the Kingsmoot (dragon horn) is out of position to go woo her.
- Stoneheart hasn't been introduced yet and they have Brienne at Winterfell and Jaime is in Dorne. Unless they introduce Stoneheart around Winterfell for a run in with Brienne and they both go into help Sansa, there isn't much point in bringing her in at this point.
- Aegon and Connington were a good transition for Tyrion to make his way towards helping Dany but they moved him via Varys instead. Would have been simple to introduce them but I guess they thought Hodors couldn't follow a few more characters being introduced. I don't see any way that these two don't come into play in some fashion but they will be an even more random introduction.
While I understand some of the choices in simplifying the story for tv purposes, they rushed a lot of stories for no apparent reason IMO.

In short (well this started out short), that Sansa becomes a stand in of some sort for Lady StoneHeart. Probably not by being "killed" because I'm not sure who would bring her back (Mel will probably be saved to do that for Jon).
But maybe by being injured and disfigured really badly or even not injured but just kind of being pushed over the edge of sanity and normal behavior by her travails and winds up roaming and killing the hell out of anyone and everyone related to the Boltons or who have harmed the Starks in any way, even seemingly innocent members of the Boltons and their bannermen's familys.
Her "band" could be Brienne and Pod and maybe some remnants of Stannis' army or maybe even the Brotherhood Without Banners themselves or some group of Stark loyalist that remain in the area.
Kind of Crackpot for sure but I'm not really seeing a "happily ever after" for Sansa and don't really want to see her continually suffer at the hands of Ramsey or get killed (though her death wouldn't be that bad in terms of characters who have died off).
Posted on 5/29/15 at 8:45 pm to Methuselah
It's not that crackpot. They are making their money off of combinging plot lines so it makes some sense that they would combine Sansa and LS. Though I'm not sure to what end.

To me it would be a fitting arc for her. She started out as a spoiled and naive "princess" type who lost her direwolf (to me that has to mean something in GRRM land - like with Robb) through pretty much her own fault and sided with Joffrey over her own family on the trip from Winterfell to King's Landing.
She then went straight from that into a plaything to be tormented by Joffrey. Then from that into a pawn in Littlefinger's hands. Then to being brutalized by Ramsey.
I'm just seeing her as a tragic arc. I could see her getting revenge against Ramsey which would be great but I can't really see her as triumphant in any way. It would be more in keeping with her arc to me if she ended up kind of bad or at least mad herself. Nothing near as bad as Ramsey but still a force of chaos if not evil. (Heck didn't the previews for this week show her saying she would do the same things to Theon that Ramsey has done if she had the power?)

If I were Sansa I'd want to do the same things to him too.

The direwolves definitely served as omens of what will happen to the Starks. Like the stag killing the direwolf mother foreshadowed Ned's death by Joffrey, Nymeria being run off foreshadowed Arya being separated from the Starks and being on the run, when Bran senses that Shaggy Dog was growing more distant ever day foreshadowed Rickon leaving for Skagos, and Ghost starting out being the smallest pup and growing into the biggest direwolf foreshadows Jon's rise from being a bastard to probably the most important man in Westeros.
I've always thought that Ned killing Lady foreshadowed him killing Sansa by giving her to the Lannisters. But now that she is out from under the Lannisters, maybe it's more symbolic of her innocence being "killed" by the Lannisters. A crackpot theory that I guess could happen (but I doubt it) is that it foreshadowed a Stark killing her.
ETA: Or maybe Sansa is killed in the place or because of Ayra, just like Lady was killed for Nymeria's actions.

I got a question: why didn't the Wildings just kill Craster long ago? They knew what he was up to with fricking his daughters and sacrificing his sons to the Others, as well providing support to the Night's Watch. He's supporting their two biggest enemies, plus he was doing other things that even the Thenns would find appalling, so why didn't Mance just send out like 5 guys to go kill him?
