They are together.

God he sucks as Kit Harrington (plus he's a smoker ) but as Jon Snow

This is how Lois lane must feel about Clark vs Superman

Didn’t you feel like Littlefinger showing up at the battle to save everyone’s asses without Jon Snow’s knowledge they were going to be there a bit of a large plot gaffe? I mean, if Sansa made a deal with Littlefinger, which we were led to believe in a previous episode, it might have occurred to her to mention that to her brother. Maybe even delay the start of the battle until the reinforcements got there. It was kind of a blemish on what otherwise was clearly the best episode of the season.

Since the reason for her silence isn’t explained (or even alluded to) on the show, it is a bit of a plot hole, although I don’t think it’s quite as egregious as you may believe.

First and foremost, I don’t think Sansa trusts Littlefinger at all, nor should she. She’ll ask for his help out of necessity, but she knows even if Baelish says yes, she can’t 100% trust his soldiers will arrive in time for the battle, or at all. Neither she nor Jon could have or should have made plans based on the possibility that Littlefinger would actually support them, regardless if he said they would.


Moreover, if Sansa actually told Jon about these troops, he would very likely refuse to accept help from Littlefinger and/or the Eyrie anyway because he doesn’t trust them. He knows there’d be some kind of price to pay for their help. He wouldn’t enter into that bargain willingly, and then Littlefinger would have no reason to stop by and Jon and his troops would all be dead. By going behind his back, Sansa prevented Jon from having the chance to nobly turn down Littlefinger’s help, and that’s absolutely what saved his life and the life of his men.

Besides, even if Sansa had told Jon and Jon had accepted Petyr Baelish’s help with open arms and a big hug, there’s still literally no way that the Eyrie soldiers wouldn’t have somehow waited until the last possible second to assist Jon and his forces. Oh, they’d have reasonable excuses for their delays, but the more decimated Jon’s army ended up, the more powerful Littlefinger ends up is in comparison. At the moment he’s got the biggest army in the North, and the lord of Winterfell owes him big.That’s the result he wanted, and it was the result he was going to make happen one way or another.

In fact, I think it’s not insane to speculate that Littlefinger possibly gave Rickon to the Umbers to give to Ramsay, all to force Jon into attacking Winterfell. Littlefinger may even have written “the pink letter,” too. Now the Starks have Winterfell, but the North is even more vulnerable than it was before. The person who has most benefitted from the battle for Winterfell is Littlefinger—and nine times out of 10 if he’s the one benefitting from a situation, he’s probably the one who set it up, too.

I truly don't understand why so many think Sansa not telling Jon is some kind of plot gaffe. This isn't the first time they've shown her withhold information from Jon. She lied about how she knew the Blackfish had retaken Riverrun and Brienne explicitly called her out on that. Coupled with the fact that Littlefinger reminds her that Jon is just her half brother. Her withholding her plea for help is absolutely consistent with what we've seen from her this season.


And it is insane to speculate that Littlefinger gave Rickon to the Umbers to give to Ramsay, who the fukk wrote that nonsense?

Bran gave Rickon to the Umbers. We know this because they showed us Bran telling Osha to bring him there when they split. Furthermore, how would Littlefinger even know Rickon is alive? People are going full retard with these speculations

I watched Battle of the b*stards episode again

nvm

Sansa sent a message to Littlefinger. But they never showed her get a reply.

She probably wasn't even certain reinforcements were coming. Making a calculated decision not to tell Jon so he didn't rearrange his battle plans on an unknown variable.

I could be wrong she mightve had other motivations. Not really a plot hole though.

The soundtrack for the season just released. I listed the pieces that I believe are going to be playing in the finale during key scenes. Speculation so possible spoilers.

Spoiler

The beginning sounds like it could be for R+L=J


Spooky sounding Lannister themeCersei about to blow up King's Landing. "Hear Me Roar"...Cersei about to clap back


This is a mix of the Greyjoy theme and Dany's theme. They about to set sail for Westeros to this shyt. We riding the closing credits out like

Spoiler

Ramin never disappoints.

. Not really a plot hole though.

But you forgot the part that people are not very smart and think that any character behaving in a way they didn't expect them to behave is indeed a "plot hole" and "shytty or lazy writing"

And anything that isnt explained explicitly is a plot hole too. How could Sansa know that Ramsey didnt feed his dogs for 7 days? Where did the dogs go in episode 1? How did the Sand Snakes get to Kings Landing? Plot hole!

Nevermind the actual definition of plot hole. IRRELEVANT!

My favorite show of all time also had perfect writing and every line and every plot thread was perfect!

What wad Sansa supposed to say, I sent a letter to this dude in the vale who wants to pipe me he might come but he might not now incorporate that into your plans homie btw Rickon dead as fukk.

Classic fukking ep

Alt Shift X finally dropped his video for this week's episode:

What goes down at the battles for Winterfell and Meereen? Will Daenerys’ alliance with the ironborn work out? What will happen to Melisandre? How is Ramsay “a part of” Sansa? Who rules the north now?

 

[CJ]

I really hope The Snowman finds some desire/reason to want to live again. This / ready-to-die whenever mentally after being killed/brought back to life is kinda to see now (though that boss stance when the cavalry was charging him was nothing short of )

Arya/Bran need to get back to their brother so he can gain that Watchers on the Wall/Hardhome confidence back and put sword to absolute purpose yet again

Did Ned name his son after Robert Baratheon because he knew he would grow up to be sucker for love fakkit who would let his emotions plunge the realm into chaos and war or was it a self-fulfilling prophecy?

great how he goes in depth on how much of a piece of shyt Sansa has become

R+L = J is suspected to be the theory that is confirmed in the Season Finale
