Isomerizm: Sansa's statement you mean. The show has revealed that Tyrion was wrong to have trusted Cercei to fight on Dany's side against the Nightking. Sansa wasn't at the meeting but she correctly surmised that Cercei was up to no good. On that note, she presently knows Cercei more than Tyrion. 1 Like |

Yonce: Deep down, Tyrion knows Cercei can't be trusted. But also they are siblings, so it only makes sense that Tyrion was trying to give her a benefit of doubt. They are family, concerning issues of the family, it's understandable why Tyrion wasn't thinking straight. 1 Like |

shogz89: Methinks Arya's statement means she's now more matured. E.g the start of S8 E1 where she shifted so that the little boy can gaze the incoming convoy of the queen just like she also did in S1 E1. And she must have realised that family and sticking together is the most important now, the lone wolf dies, the pack survives. You didn't expect her to badmouth Sansa to Jon do you? Tho calling her the smartest person with seriousness in her is too far fetched. |

Yonce: That's the point some people have been trying to make clear here....The showrunners are just running people down to make Sansa smart. We have all been watching since Season 1. Does anyone know Cersei more than Tyrion? They had to sacrifice Tyrion's only strong point (his reasoning and intuition) to push up Sansa. Like someone mentioned..hope they don't mess up the show...so many loose ends and very little time. 5 Likes |

Gbola5: 1. Lannisters kill her father, brother, mother; She almost immediately married Joffrey...ended marrying Tyrion. 2. Bolton's conquered her home: She married Ramsay almost immediately...in that same home. (Please remind me how long it took LF to convince her). And they still let her sit at the table in the great hall of Winterfell without addressing the issues. 2 Likes |

oliidell:This issue emerged in season 7. Tyrion has been the smartest of the Lannisters. One of the smartest on the show. His ability to foreshadow, plan, interprete and worm out secrets from people are obvious reasons why he's too smart to have done what he did in season 7, when he was with Cersie. A lot of people were left gobsmacked when they found out Tyrion was serious about trusting Cersie. The same Tyrion of seasons 1-6? Falling cheaply for Cersie like that? It was apparent the show runners deliberately toned down his brightness. And now, it's evident that elevating Sansa (who to me, will always remain as dumb as ever anyways), was a probable reason. They could have simply made her see through Cersie's mischief, without making Tyrion come off as stupid. But, of course, the moon shines brighter when the sun goes down. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

meforkene: She didn't even know she was to marry Tyrion. Hell! Nobody knew. Lannisters tricked her to thinking she was to marry Ser Loras when it was Tyrion waiting for her at the altar. What was she supposed to do then? She was reluctant to marry Ramsay. Littlefinger convinced her to do as that was the only way to infiltrate her own home and take it back. Is Sansa the first woman to be sold into marriage? Was Dany not sold? Was Cersei not sold? Was Magery not sold. . .multiple times? ![]() |

oliidell:And when last did Sansa meet with her tormentor in chief? I bet if she had met Cersei in the emotional manner (preggo) like Tyrion, she'd trust the mad queen as well. |

Yonce: Gbola5 asked for the treasonable offence Sansa committed that the Northerners overlooked. That's what i wrote there. Don't care what she should have done to avert the situations. But the other ladies you mentioned all came out of the forced marriages obviously grown and different..each with a forward plan. |

Den Don start again. 1. She was already bethrothed to Joeffery. Even though she liked him at that time, it wasn't her doing. With time she gets to know the type of person Joeffery is and dislikes him. I'm sure you've forgotten the smile on her face when Joeffery renounced his betrothal to Sansa and announced one with Mageary. She had no choice about marrying Tyrion also. Infact she was plotting with Th Tyrells to marry Lores. Tywin heard of the plot and marries her to Tyrion instead. Where does she betray the north here? 2. She eventually escapes king landing, with little finger's help and he takes her to winterfell. Along the way she learns of his plan to marry her to the Bolton's people who murdered her family. I'm sure you saw her refuse vehemently when she was told. She even went as far as saying she would starve herself to death if she was forced. And she was prepared to do it. But little finger convinced her to fight for her home not to run away. That was why she married Ramsey. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that Sansa betrayed the north by marrying Tyrion or Ramsey, but I hope I have been able to convince you otherwise. If after reading this you still are not convinced, I implore you to watch GOT again. If after this you still insists she betrayed the north, then wow! meforkene: 1 Like 1 Share |

meforkene: How is being forced into marriage treason?? Under whose law is that? The so called Northernmen who sat at that table to declare Jon king, where were they when those flaying monsters took over Winterfell. . .why didn't they revolt against the Boltons? How did Cersei's marriage to Robert make her grow?? How did Magery's marriage to Joffery and Tommen make her grow?? ![]() ![]() Let's make the comparisms. @bolded That explains alot. The reason most of you hate Sansa is cause she doesn't wield a sword like Arya or Brienne. Or a seductress like Magery and Cersei. Or give off that "strong female vibe" by exhibiting attributes that is stereotypically attributed to men like fighting, power-hungry plays, scheming etc. ![]() 5 Likes |

Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by meforkene(m): 4:05pm On Apr 20, 2019 |
It's better you just take the "wow" plus me don tire for the case abeg. If marrying your family's/faithful's worst and most recent enemies is not betrayal then i don't know what is. In the medieval times no one really cares the step by step occurrences that bring about the betrayal. It is what it is. The Ramsay own is even more unacceptable...a conquerer of the home plus being reluctant in showing any signs of revolt. For instance, Jon did the most possible humane thing for the wildlings and some brothers of the NW killed him. Do you think they were wrong for killing him? Endy10: 1 Like |

So Sansa came out of her ordeals a baby with a backward plan? Everything Sansa passed through made her who she is now, and who she is now is a way smarter version of the Sansa of before. Please how does that not define growth. The first thing she did after fleeing from Ramsey and going to Jon was plot how to take their home back. How is that not a forward plan? I dare say that every decision Sansa has taken since her escape from Ramsey has been the correct one...Every decision. Be it telling Jon that he shouldn't bother about Rickon, or hiding the fact she had the army of the veil waiting. I know we can sometimes get invested in these characters such that we tend to love some and hate some. Don't let your hatred for a character close your eyes to their development. If you do, you miss so many things the show is trying to tell you meforkene: 1 Like |

Yes they were wrong for killing Jon. The decision Jon took was hard, but it was 100 percent correct. I you still argue this one then I'll know I'm wasting my time arguing with you. Jon saw the army of the dead. The widlings were potential army for the night king. He knew if all the widlings fell, with their giants and mammoths, the seven kingdom was doomed. The nights watch over time forgot the real reason the wall was built. They forgot the real fight was with the white walkers. Even if they couldn't accept the fact that the people they were fighting now lived amongst them, ask yourself this: Is it not treason to go against your Lord commander, talk more of killing him? Now there is a genuine treason for you. And please don't tell me it's not treason, please. Lord Commander Mormont was killed (back stabbed) because he defended an incestuous willing (Craster) was that not treason too? meforkene: 1 Like |

Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Ksslib(m): 5:06pm On Apr 20, 2019 |
oliidell:Pls & pls I beg you in the name of the old, new & fairly-used gods, let's stop. Let's just stop. Sansa can never know Cersei more than Tyrion, presently, pastly or futuristically. You guys are beginning to give that girl too much credit and it's annoying. Sansa's base for concluding that Cersie won't play ball is ONLY based on her PAST HISTORY with Cersie. She knows Cersei is a cold hearted bitch and that's all. Tyrion, however, knows Cersei on a more deeper level. Asides that, he knows that even the devil can have something to live for . Are we also forgetting the fact that he had a private meeting with Cersei we are yet to get a glimpse of? Since we all want to analyze, oya na. Sansa's statement to Tyrion was made out of nothing but assumption - which luckily for her dumb @ss, turned out correct. It was a quick, impulsive conclusion. Sansa never made that conclusion from a strategic or logical point of view. It was a sharp sharp conclusion made from nothing but past emotion. Is that how you want to win the war, ehh madam Lady of Winterfell? So because Cersei is a cold-hearted bittch, is that enough reason to just assume and conclude Cersei will rather just sit back and not send her troops to support a war that will keep her alive? Only an illogical person will just assume that a bad and evil person will always remain evil in every situation. This difference in reasoning is why Tyrion is the Queen's hand while Sansa will soon become the Queen's burnt offering, or even better, the Night King's next Archimedes spiral if she doesn't tone-down this so-called new "smartness" she picked on the ground. So Sansa now sees the future? She sat down and was like "nah nah, that evil, cold b1tch Cersie will rather remain in King's Landing and fight the white-walkers herself without needing our help even though we have two dragons?". Once again, clear proof that the show writers are beginning to intervene. If no, then what other reason does Sansa have for believing Cersei will not join them? She should tell us. Afterall, she's the Lady of Winterfell and the fate of the lives of multitudes will boil down in part to her decision making. Sansa should tell us, maybe after that, we'll start giving her the full respect she deserves. Till then, she should swerve and the producers too, should behave. And again, Tyrion is not God. He's bound to make mistakes just like every normal human being. Even almighty Night King that is not human made a costly mistake that could have effectively won him the War when he miscalculated the physics & flight trajectory of his second arrow that could have brought down drogon + Dany in season 7 when she rode to save Johnny boy & co from the white walkers. A simple extrapolation of Newton's second law of motion keeping in mind that the flight of an arrow is parabolic, hence his initial throw-velocity V(¢×) will have to account for air drag (¶ ) & acceleration due to gravity (g) , could have won him the war. But I don't see anybody mocking him for that. In Tyrion's case, however, it was CLEARLY implied that he had a change of heart after that private meeting with Cersie. A meeting we are yet to see. Something tells me an apology from Sansa, ya'll, or the producers is not too far off. Somebody must apologise to Tyrion, period. Let's watch & see. I apologise for the long epistle though. It's a curse I carry. And for God's sake, Arya. What was she thinking when she called Sansa the smartest person she's ever met. And you agree? Lmao.. That girl is two more statements away from entering the dumb list. A girl has no name, agreed!! A girl now has no brain?? Wtf!! As for the producers, I swear in the name of old, new & fairly-used gods, if you fffuck this show up for me I will stop watching Game of thrones immidiately after the last episode... 4 Likes 1 Share |
