Maybe: Sansa and Littlefinger have a meet before the battle (or perhaps during it, what would Sansa even do in a battle?) where he promises her the Vale army but emphasizes her claim to the North would be jeopardized by her "half-brother", the subtext being both know Jon needs to die somehow for both Sansa and Littlefinger to profit from the victory, Sansa agrees to the unspoken premise, Vale forces sweep the floor and Sansa reveals her plan to betray Littlefinger (what would Littlefinger do in a battle, anyway?) and declares her unwavering support for her brother, reveals Littlefinger's past misdeeds to the Lords of the Vale and he's toast. I don't think he dies, but he flees. This would make up for and actually explain why Sansa has kept her knowledge of the army of the Vale on the DL.

level 1

The shield wall scene absolutely terrified me for some reason I can't explain. Also RIP Rickon and Wun Wun.

level 1

Is it just me or is Smalljon Umber's death more satisfying than Ramsey's? Lol

level 1

whats the song when the dragons fly?

level 1

Thought I saw Jaime looking at Cersei in the same way he saw the Mad king. No wonder the flashback was there in Bran's vision. Think, Jaime is going to play a crucial part to get back the kingdoms like Littlefinger did to endanger it.

level 1

Am I the only one who physically jumped up and down to the crowning of cersei?

level 1

My GoT theory of the week: What if king of the white walker, who is historically rumored to be a stark may have also been a warg. So when the children of the forest turned him he gained the power to reanimate the dead. And that's the power Bran has on his own that keeps getting hinted at. So the finale could be an undead battle of the icy white walkers and bran's undead army with the dragons, assuming he and dany are cool by the, to signify fire. And that's why GRRM is killing everyone important, so they can reappear in a glorious final battle.

level 1

Ok I just watched the extra tidbits on demand labeled house stark and the author confirmed the theory of r+l=j he would not name Jon as Ned's bastard and just skirted around his parentage so I'm convinced this theory is true!

level 2

I think that it just got beat by episode 10...

...and discovered only silence

what kind of hounds devoured Ramsay; as in breed?

level 2

they looked like pit bulls

level 2

In terms of the actual breed (non-canon), this site says its a Cane Corso

level 1

How did sansa know the dogs not been fed in several days?

level 2

Ha ha.. Just realized this while watching the episode again.

level 2

Because Ramsey threatened to unleash them on John when they met before fighting. He mentioned that he hadn't fed them in 7 days.

level 1

Sansa, why couldn't you let Jon know about the army of the Vale? Seriously, does anyone have a reasonable explanation for her silence?

level 2

Jon would have planned his attack differently if he knew he had the Knights of The Vale on his side. No matter what, Jon wants to save lives for the long night. Ramsay would notice this conservative style of planning and would use Winterfell to his advantage instead of attempting to display strength in numbers out on the plains. This "poor writing" saved us from 2 seasons of having the Bolton's sit in Winterfell. Now the end game is coming together in a strong narrative that doesn't drag it's balls forever and ever.

level 2

Because it was supposed to be a surprise for the audience which it wasn't. Basically bad writing.

level 2

Probably because she didn't know whether they'd show up or not?

level 1

Two badass female rulers and a war hero who was saved by the strategical moves of his little sister.

Love the girl power of this episode!
