I wasn't liking the fact she lied to John about how the message was received. Like, wtf? Even Brienne was like what was that all about and she blew her off. Did LF get under her skin THAT quickly after she just called him out? Unless she is planning some super devious action against LF, (which would be interesting) this doesn't make sense in terms of her character developing. I'm curious to see what plays out with her.
Not sure what drove her to do that. When people have been abused enough, they can sometimes lie as a protective measure even with people they should be able to trust; but I can't be sure what happened there. I like that Brienne called her on it, at least; so it makes it sound like the writers will follow up on it.
I was worried that maybe the information Littlefinger gave wasn't on the up&up. He's not exactly trustworthy.
Yeah, I'm not sure either. I like how she left him almost speechless; I think for the first time in his life he realized he misplayed that hand, and Brienne might just cut him down where he stood. About the best he could do was provide information in parting (that could be misinformation) and that sneaky little parting shot about Jon only being her half-brother... trying to drive a wedge in there.
That was a very satisfying scene. I liked how the really devastating parts of the episode were balanced by satisfying scenes like that one and Theon's empassioned endorsement for Yara. Also liked Dany's forgiveness of Sir Friendzone.
I was slightly concerned that Theon might renege on his promise, but he doesn't; he has some honor left, and I think Yara now gets that her brother is back in some form and regrets terribly the loss of life and face she suffered trying to rescue him unsuccessfully.
For some reason, the Dany scene didn't ring as true to me; I guess I just rarely see her cry and she has been so ambivalent (or alternatingly hot and cold) towards Jorah. It was good he got to admit his love for her. Here is one of the cases though where I feel like the faster pace didn't do that development justice; I wish that whole segment had been given more time to breathe.
We do know a cure exists. Unfortunately, the man who knew of the cure (as well as the victim that it cured) is now dead.
Unless Davos also knows of it.
'Sansa has one of the most startling character transformations,' are you serious? Compared to some other characters her transformation is insignificant.
Compare her to Jaime, Theon and you'd see she hasn't changed much.
Oh, yeah; I forgot that character transformation only includes the unwilling removal of body parts.
