Did one of the Sand Snakes actresses really get nominated for an Oscar? Must have been a fluke. They're so terrible. That fight scene.....wow. That was hilariously bad. I don't think it is as much as a fluke as poor script-writing for the character. Look at Rooney Mara. Deservedly nominated for her role in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake, but if you saw her in A Nightmare On Elm Street remake, you would her Oscar win was a fluke as well. You can be the best actor in the world and if you aren't given anything to work with, it will be crap. |

A lot of it is a poor script and directing, in certain scenes at least. I mean, Emilia Clarke is still not very good but that's not the point. If Sansa doesn't end up as Queen after murdering about 50 people, then the show f***ed up. |

Tommen basically killed any chance of him banging Margaery again by doing nothing while her and Loras are hauled away.

Am I alone in thinking Sansa already had enough crap thrown at her before getting raped? Eh, it was the logical step for the story. And for those book readers at home, the scene, or rather the one this one evolved out of, was disturbingly worse. I believe forced bestiality was implied in the books. So.....yeah. |

Tommen = King Butters, poor kid. I also get a kick out of the people complaining about the shocking Sansa scene. Way worse happened in the book, way worse could have happened in the episode, way worse could have been shown. Thankfully all we got was seeing Reek which was more than enough. I do wonder how many casual viewers remember what happened the very first episode...a child being thrown out of a window while seeing incest, oh and also Dany getting her marriage consummated just as Sansa did.
Though I wish they would have had Sansa try something, anything instead of just standing there...especially considering her scene before that with Myranda. Also we've had way too little Doran and Areo.

I believe forced bestiality was implied in the books. So.....yeah. Reek was forced to get in on the action too. I know book purists tend to shit all over the show, like they're so much better for having read the sacred tomes and the show is a poor adaptation or whatever, but GRRM tends to skew towards cartoonish evil sometimes, especially when Ramsay is involved, and IMO that scene did a much more effective job at cementing Ramsay as the top heel while creating a catalyst for Theon to be Theon again. |

Oh I'm not saying it's bad writing or anything, just saying Sansa has been through enough that I won't care if she goes on a killing spree.

I think we're this close to putting the Sand Snakes in a crate and shipping them to OVW.

There should be a Sand Snakes/Unsullied battle for the "most disappointing fighting force with a not very good name".
Also, King Butters. Oh boy, are you never getting laid again.

The books at least gives a bit of menace to them combined with allure. The show has portrayed them as jokes and the worst fight scene this show has had to date. Lots of batshit insanity about the rape scene. It was a rape scene. Its supposed to make you angry. It wasnt gratuitous and Ive seen harsher rape scenes on Law and Order. There was a lot more wrong with this episode than that scene. |

Also we've had way too little Doran and Areo. I think Sansa's doing things, just in her head. Think about all the stuff she's been through, the beatings, humiliation etc. I think she can escape her own body in times like these. Now she's found this new mean streak and had Littlefinger training, I can see it as her just biding her time, bad things will happen, she'll deal then strike when she's in position as the weak doormat again. It's her strategy, take crap, be seen as no threat, then you can do what you want. |

Season 1-4: Oh my god why are they always lingering on Sansa, she never does anything, go back to Arya, she's awesome.
Season 5: Arya why are you even still there, go away, I wanna see more Sansa.

My favorite part of that god-awful fight scene was that one Sand Snake twirling her spear as slowly as a snail with her back turned to Bronn.
I guess not every director of theirs can be Neil Marshall.
