OK no spoilers but for fuck's sake is Sansa ever NOT a moron?

She has been entirely moronic up to now but I sort of feel she has the potential to get the better of Machiavellian genius Littlefinger if only because LF clearly has a weakness for Stark girls.

I've always felt sympathy for Sansa because she's the character that was most invested in the fairytale idea and then had it ripped away again and again. Like a viewer who thinks "oh fantasy and knights and princesses this will be fun oh god oh god"

I think it's uncharitable to call her a moron, she's a child at the mercy of horrible events beyond her control. She's just not a total badass like her sister.

seems like the obvious course of sansa's arc is for her to keep being dragged along until she suddenly snaps and does something badass at a key moment using all the knowledge she's absorbed while in pseudocaptivity
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 20 August 2014 16:09 (ten years ago) link
I read that as paedocaptivity.

Yeah, I guess "moron" is uncharitable, but she seems to be horrible at both practicing and reading the courtly manners she's so concerned with all the time. Like, Tyrion didn't ask for ________ any more than she did, but yeesh, girl, come on.

or she becomes Littlefinger's mini-me and, at a crucial juncture, acts in what she perceives as her own best interests with catastrophic results for others.
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
She's there to show the audience how monsters are created, I think. First terrified, then sulking and resentful, then gradually more calculating, devious and eventually destructive. This is what happens when you grow up a pawn of castle intrigue, and the endpoint I suppose is Cersei

I've never played any of these Telltale games before but I just tried out the first episode of the GoT one and it was pretty good! Some ropey animation and some silly things but the quick decisions in the big talky meetings were really great. Suitably grim.

Anyone catch Marco Polo on Netflix yet? Clearly going for the Game of Thrones boobs & battles formula - but it feels like it might be an OK timewaster for December based on the first couple of episodes.
