I'll always be more interested in the political fukkery than the fantasy fukkery. :yeshrug:

Bring on more Littlefinger chaos is a ladder maneuvering. More Tyrion, Varys, Margery, Olenna, Sansa too. If the shyt just turns into one big CG battle fest for the last 15 episodes, then:camby:

I wonder what they have the scheming god Lord Varies up to. It better be major!

Great read. I'm all for cunning Sansa by the way. Years of what she went though is bound to mess with one's soul/judgement/morality.

I hope THAT it's combination of both. That she was willing to let Jon die for her cause and revenge and that SHE lies to him and says that it was luck.

Sansa being an evil bytch is actually believable.

HBO in scramble mode without the books, and just some bullet-points to go off of. Writing is painstakingly shoddy this season at times.They think we should just marvel at the payoff and big, shiny, bright lights and not remember how we got here. nikkas just trying to finish up as fast as possible now.
:comeon:


this has been arguably the best season especially after the let down that season 5 was

One thing that Littlefinger clip does remind me is that Littlefinger is carrying a royal decree, which would have allowed him to travel unmolested into the North. I know some were wondering how would he get past the Freys.

It still doesn't answer why the Freys wouldn't send a raven to the Boltons or why Moat Caitlin wasn't garrisoned by Bolton men, though I could make up some plausible scenarios (they killed the Bolton men and shot down any ravens).

Why would the Frey's help the Bolton's? The Frey's are aligned with the Lannister's who were helping them retake Riverrun. The Bolton's were branded enemies/traitors one Ramsay wed Sansa.

If Littlefinger came through riding North on orders from the Lannister's, Walder wouldn't have undermined his mission.

I'm just gonna focus on 2 and 4.

2. You keep talking about military strategy and tactics....Ramsey choose to engage them in the field. Aight cool. He planned to use a double envelopment maneuver. Aight cool. The part where your argument breaks down is....you don't need to slaughter your own army to do that.

If your logic is "well, he used them as fodder so the other Houses would be too weakened to oppose him"....that brings me to my next point....

4. It wasn't an Umber or Karstark that told Ramsey his army was gone. It was his own man. Re-watch the scene. The only Boltons left were the ones encircling the field. That's a few hundred men, out of thousands of his own Bolton army he started with. Re-watch the cavalry scene....look at their armor and sigils. Every soldier Jon Snow killed on the ground was a Bolton. The vast majority of the calvalry....was all Bolton men. Not Umber or Karstark. He killed off his own army with arrows.:mjlol:

Also, the largest Houses (Karstarks and Umbers) weren't opposing him anyway. They were allies. So :what: at using them as fodder to ensure they don't rebel. shyt makes no sense whatsoever.

Fred.

1. to do the envelopment you need the enemy to be distracted and focused on something other than the enveloping force, the distracting force is basically cannon fodder, it doesnt matter whether they survive, tactically they have already been charged to the game

the arrows just guaranteed that the starks would be completely distracted, it wasnt stupid, it was a master stroke, his own forces that got killed were just collateral damage

being concerned about saving as many men as possible is just some bleeding heart shyt ned or robb and other so called good guys would do, they are not ramsey

2. yeah i do have to re watch it, but i think the bulk of the forces were umbers are karstarck, but even if it was majority bolton, the strategy and tactic was a good one

3. i didnt say that it was to stop them from rebelling per se, it was to keep them weak so they wouldnt even think about rebelling or challenging him, remember the karstarcks never kneeled to ramsey they simply had an alliance with ramsey, they said fukk you when ramsey asked them too kneel, so ramsey had every reason to want the umbers and karstarcks to lose as many men as possible

While this is a very different situation, what you wrote did remind me that Robb marched 2,000 men to their grave in order to capture Jaimie. Sent those 2,000 dudes against an army of like 30,000:damn:. And made sure he didn't send any important generals or Stark men either:shaq: Collateral damage is a bytch.:manny:

People 'want' cunning Sansa more than cunning Sansa makes sense. Whole thing is written for people who say that episodes are 'bad' because certain characters didn't do what someone wanted them to do

nice clickbait article that can only exist before the season finale drops though :francis:

but cool she can be Cersei of the North. That doesn't mean she's cunning. Remember that Cersei is the dumbest broad in her whole fukking house and has doomed her family thinking that she's smarter than she really is.

Cunning as fukk, right?

I was reminded of that when people were calling Sansa a she-devil for withholding information that may have saved some lives. Robb marched dudes into certain death and was praised for it:heh:

She's a northern Cersei at this point. Plus she sent a raven to Littlefinger. We got no notice that he was actually 100% going to show up. Why would she base their battle plan around an uncertainty? It irks me how people are harping on this
I thought that to but her and little finger standing next to each other disproves the point that she didn't know

So, sending a raven to the Blackfish is risky but, sending one to Littlefinger isnt :heh: and why send away one of your best fighters (Brienne) before a war. Sansa doesn't care about her family anymore. She cares about getting revenge and protecting herself. She sacrificed her little brother. She didn't even look at his body when he was on the stretcher....just asked where Ramsey was. Her plan would have easily gotten Jon killed. Someone could have stabbed him 50 different times out there. She didn't care. Now contrast that with Ned or Cat. Ned nor Cat would be that apathetic about their sons getting killed or putting them in dangerous situations like that. Sansa is gone. She's adopted behaviors from her captors. I think she realized Rickon was a foregone conclusion and detached emotionally, and she hoped Jon died too so there would be no one standing in her way of Winterfell. The fact she keeps bringing up Jon being a b*stard is disgusting too.
