What if Winterfell is Littlefinger's now? He has Harrenhall, A stewardship over the Vale and then Winterfell.


I don't think Winterfell will ever be LF's. He might make a play for it but the Northern houses will almost assuredly be behind Jon. Even if Sansa marries him, he still won't be a Stark. Even without Tommen's consent, Jon is by all means and purposes a Stark and Lord of Winterfell now. Winterfell is Jon's you could pretty much tell when Jon was standing by the seat in the Great Hall in the preview for next week's episode.

We're not even 100% sure what LF meant when he said "You know what I want" to Sansa in the godswood. He could just mean that he wanted her back home, he could mean he wants a marriage pact between them.

Like I've said before in this thread...everything points to Jon being a politically savvy Ned Stark. So who's to say that Jon isn't gonna play LF through Sansa. He also told Sansa in the preview "We have enemies all around us. We have to trust each other." I also highly doubt that Sansa will be all forgive/forget mode with LF because he sold Her to Ramsay in the marriage pact.

quote:

don't think any army in Westeros can stand up to Dany's Force. She has a Calvary larger than the two largest Westeros fighting forces combined. She has 10,000 highly trained infantry, she has a navy of probably 175 ships. (I assume she got more than fifty and less than 100from the Slavers, since they called it an Armada) She probably also has the Dornish military behind her. How can anyone stop her?


I don't think it's a matter of standing up to her in Westeros. The Lannisters probably will but other than that I don't see another house trying to stop her. The interesting thing will be how she treats Jon when she meets him. Ex Lord Commander of the NW, has fought and "defeated" a wight army, and he's probably her nephew. I think he'll pull a page from Torrhen Stark's book and kneel. Which could either raise him to a Stark or Targaryen. Probably whichever he chooses. But we'll probably see them team up against the NK.

What is the likelihood that Sansa marries LF? I can't help but think when he says "you know what I want" as meaning he wants her.

Maybe not through title, but I feel there's far too much prophesy involving the Giant in Winterfell (and it sure isn't referring to Wun Wun) that will make him the de facto ruler of Winterfell at some point.

But LF is smart enough to realize this as well. He isn't just going to roll over at let Jon do his own thing.

LF doesn't really know Jon though. And we've seen that sometimes LF is too smart for his own good. He could underestimate Jon. All it takes is one slip up from him and Jon would have no problem killing him. Vice/versa as well, except idk if we see another Jon death.

That's completely out of character for LF to do such a thing. Hell, let's see what Ramsay has to say about the rumors of Jon: LINK

Ramsay is one of the most arrogant characters in the series, and even he recognizes Jon's threat. LF underestimating Jon isn't going to happen. He'll assume the worst about him.

I almost forgot about this, but since Jons shield was a Mormont shield, it kind of implies that although there were only 62 Bear Island men, at least one of those mother frickers made it all the way into the castle

I'm curious to know how many Bear Island men survived.
A lot of soldiers died in all the wars from King Rob's war, to Stannis' attack on Winterfell to Jon Snow's takeover. You have to think the northern population is more than decimated.

The North has been kind of disappointing. "The North Remembers" my arse. That hype hasn't frickin paid off in the least. It feels like everyone who ever says that gets killed.

Episode still at a 10.0 on IMDB with almost 80,000 votes.

For reference, the only other 10.0 is Ozymandias (Breaking Bad).

I wanted GNC to happen so bad.

I was ready for the Manderly speech, Umber turning, but got none of it.

Don't know if this has been posted, but it's pretty good (especially if you are familiar with the original)
