The Sansa story is very intriguing. I think Baelish either wants her in a weird I never got your mother so I'll get you way or he wants to use her as leverage to get Kat. The most intriguing part to me is what will Tyrion do with all this. I cant see him having children with her as he would probably feel like he were raping her, and he is madly in love with the foreign hooker.

Yeah I'm not sure what to make of that. As much of an a-hole as Tywin is, he's always been in charge of the family, and they've always respected that (even begrudgingly at times). But now in their minds he's going overboard with his demands and I'm itnerested to see how they respond to his orders. Like you said, no way Tyrion is gonna want to do anything with Sansa, let alone bang her. And in Tywin's mind, he simply wants Tyrion and Cersei to have kids with Sansa and Loras to uphold the Lannister future.

Sansa herself is insanely boring, but the story around her is one of the most interesting. All sides want control over her because they think she is the only way to the gain the north if Robb dies.

I agree that she sucks, but I did like it when she was betrothed to Joffrey. It made for some awesome (and uncomfortable) scenes where she had to swallow her pride and go with whatever he said.

[quote]BTW, I think we saw the first real mistake that Robb has made in this war (ignoring the stupid wedding that no one knows about). He knew better than to kill that Lord, and he, like Joffrey, let his head get the better of him. Pun intended.

ETA: What the hell kind of King of the North are you when you let half of your army walk away? Either they are your subjects, or they aren't. Those cats shouldn't be going anywhere.

True, but he also had to show them that he wouldn't be trampled over. Look at what Rickard karstark kept saying last night, all that shite about how Robb will just let him go and be mad at him (as opposed to actually doing something about it). So Robb did let his head get the best of him, but at least there was some purpose to it...and he did it knowing that he'd likely lose the Karstarks (or even if he thought they'd stay, he was at least warned about it beforehand). So it seemed like a calculated decision, even if wrong.
