I don't think the wolf metaphor extends to Frey women. She'll be fine on that point.

The Freys will live to rule again, so anything can happen in the future.

Yeah, that was lame. I thought the Jon/Sansa stuff was well done although the dialogue after the meeting was a bit clunky.

The dialogue is awful.

I also have some serious book snobbery complaints when it comes to Sansa becoming like Cersei, even if she's using her powers for good.

Yeah, it's also not like the Starks treated women like chattle.

the more you remind yourself that the show is simply based on the books and not actually the books, the more you'll enjoy it.

Changing shit is fine if it makes sense. Too many of the changes just make no fucking sense.

What a fucking great start to the new season. Excellent episode.

And for the record... a handful of pages back, when I said I wanted to talk about exactly what I wanted/hoped for Arya moving forward...

those were both very powerful scenes

How do you people manage to put up with not being able to binge a season at once?

It was obvious but I quite enjoyed the Frey murder. It was satisfying, and I've always enjoyed watching actors playing someone playing someone else.
