I just don't know why on earth she would want to stay in King's Landing. Maybe she was just saying that to Littlefinger because she thinks that is what she is supposed to say.

She doesn't know who she can trust. Think about being in her shoes for a second...

You were raised to be a Lady. Not just lady-like, but the epitome of kind, gentle, caring, etc. You don't have a deceptive bone in your body. You are ultimately naive and are then betrothed to your Prince Charming.

Instead of being a fairy tale, Prince Charming turns out to be a cruel, evil, cowardly despot. He kills your father by very publicly having him beheaded then puts his head on a spike as a way to impress you. He gets his most thrills from being publicly cruel to you and no one will stand up for you (except for one instance where his dwarf of a brother does). Your dreams of what life at court were like (tea parties and chivalry) are shot to hell and you have no idea who is or isn't a friend from day-to-day.

Just the quick smile from being released from the betrothal (that no one else could see) is your biggest act of rebellion.

Why would you trust Littlefinger after he was the one that helped betray your father?

I loved this season, but 10 eps is just too short of a time for the number of storylines going on. I was really confused when I saw Sansa at court, and Stannis had gotten away. When I saw Winterfell torched, I was like WTF. But then i was thinking, was the group sent there the same group whose father wanted jaime dead? If so, that'll make some sense to me. I also don't understand how Tyrion is getting zero credit. The attack on the ships alone should get him mega praise, let alone his leading of the attack outside the walls.

And isn't Winterfell supposed to have been a major town? I don't see how 20 men could ever have held it, but all we ever see is that 1 little courtyard.

And hats off for Shae not telling tyrion that his scare showed character. That cliche is worn out.

Is it April yet?
