Prediction: Sansa is going to seduce Robin then turn him on littlefinger. It's such a king's landing thing to do.
Easiest seduction ever, she only needs to show some titty.

Honestly Sansa probably just didn't tell Jon because she doesn't know how much she can, or should, trust Little Finger. So she probably doesn't know how much her brother, and army, should trust him either. There wasn't much room to gamble in this scenario, so she ultimately took it into her own hands.
I think it was much more an emotional decision on her part than anything calculative.
He'll probably just tell him what happened to her right before he pushes him out of the moon door.What happens if LF lies and tells Robin that Sansa killed his mother? He seems like a big enough dick to do that.

Littlefinger gives no fucks.He'll probably just tell him what happened to her right before he pushes him out of the moon door.
Np!Thank ya
"Robyn, I fucked your mom right before I pushed her out the moon door."Littlefinger gives no fucks.

Littlefinger doesn't want to be the king on the chessboard he just wants control of all the pieces.
There's gotta be a reason they introduced him this late.
Heads up if you visit polygon you might want to avoid the site for a bit. They just put up a article with a title that contains a book character spoiler. I was spoiled on it 3 seasons ago so I don't care but it's kind of fucked up that they put it up like that.
Not sure what this could mean but it sounds rather interesting.
[edit]
I bet in season 8 we will still have random book spoilers.
This season had two of the worst episodes in the series. If not rate it top two IMO.

A plot device to get Yara and Theon to Danny.
I know but he still shouldn't have posted it the way he did.Nah, it's too late for that character.
That character's plotline starts a few years before the current events of the show, it just can't happen anymore... as awesome as it would be.
Plus, we can't be introducing new characters at this point in the story, and even less so at this point in the season.
If anything, they could give their plotline to another character.
I know but he still shouldn't have posted it the way he did.
He was taken to task about it on Twitter and he defended himself by asking #how long have the books been out?".Nevermind the article was talking about the show.

I saw the post earlier and cringed a little- even if you mistakenly clicked, there was no avoiding it as it was right there at the top haha. Not the first time that Polygon has done that. i09 has done that before also, with something else in GoT.
You say the article had another image, right?
Yeaaah, he sounds like a jerk.
I wonder if he has any substantial part to play beyond forcing yarra and theon out of the iron isles and towards Dany. It seems a little late in the day to be adding a major protagonist.
Littlefinger or Daenerys are the most likely to me. Littlefinger for obvious reason, and Daenerys because she's in direct conflict with anybody in Westeros who won't immediately bow to her (I don't foresee every house just shaking hands with her), has a tendency to burn people alive who oppose her (even if that also sets her up as a saviour against the White Walkers, it's not exactly the most heroic of execution methods, particularly when she has Lord of Light support; Tyrion may try to dissuade it, but I can't see her listening entirely). and her support which she will be bringing to Westeros consists of an army without feelings, sellswords, Iron Borns who are wanted dead by the King of the Iron Islands, dragons, and the Dothraki horde who are renowned as rapists and plunderers. While we've followed her for six seasons and she's been portrayed as a very self-righteous individual, she's in an excellent position to be a villain who plans on conquering Westeros in opposition to almost every noble house in the show.
There's also the matter of the White Walkers who are in a pretty villainous role.
As for which will be the most hated by viewers? I couldn't really say.
This keeps coming up through the years (because the show keeps bringing up the comparison) but I don't think Dany will ever be the antagonist for descending into madness or go down 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' thing. She is not a moral relativist and actively subjugates others to match her own sense of justice but considering what this has been so far (abolition of slavery, pillaging, raping and serving as an idol of a strong woman in a highly misogynist world), this has not been portrayed as a negative. Her means of getting what she wants have been questioned at times (to highlight her inexperience) but her ideals have not. There maybe some brief conflict with the Starks initially but it will not be portrayed as a case of Dany being a villain. She is being shown as a benevolent despot.
Killing people for power and revenge isn't dumb. It's the whole show.
So, now that there's no more Boltons around, who is to keep the Dreadfort?
Lord Giantsbane of course and his lovely wife Lady Giantsbane (née Tarth)
Bit of a power vacuum with the Karstark and Umbers need sorting out too.
What? No. She made the only choice that would have worked. It's a touch choice, a brutal choice, but anything else would have ended in disaster. Jon is the naive one between the two of them.Snip

What happened to that perverted shit anyways?
ExactlyWhat? No. She made the only choice that would have worked. It's a touch choice, a brutal choice, but anything else would have ended in disaster. Jon is the naive one between the two of them.
What happens if she tells Jon? He waits, adds the Vale forces to his own, takes the larger (but still outnumbered) army to the field and Ramsey either still engages them because he has the numbers or, more likely, retreats to Winterfell and prepares for a siege
Keep the extra forces secret, and let Ramsey confidently, cockily send his army into the fray, and you can ambush his army with reinforcements they were completely unprepared for. The ultimate sucker punch
"Let's Play a Game" doesn't really sound consistent with the rest of GOT's soundtrack/themes. It's a cool track that built anxiety well during that scene, but not reminiscent of the world of GOT.Pandora put up full previews of the soundtrack and someone put them up on YouTube already. Here's the music from the Battle of the Bastards (careful looking at the channel if you want to find the other tracks, some of the track names might be slightly spoilery for the finale if you are really sensitive).
Track 14, "Let's Play a Game," covers the begging, from Rickon's run to Jon facing the cavalry.
Track 15, "Bastard," is the rest of the battle until the Knights of the Vale arrive.
Also here's track 9, "Hold the Door." Self explanatory. It's over 7 minutes long.
This article is pretty much how I think of Sansa's behavior this episode.

Remember when Brienne asks Sansa why she needs to go to Riverrun in person? "We can send the Blackfish a raven," Brienne offers. "We can't risk Ramsey intercepting it. It has to be you," says Sansa, who proceeds to send Littlefinger a raven.
Sansa says. And finally: "A monster has taken our home and our brother. We have to go back to Winterfell and save them both." Having gotten Jon to commit to fighting, she calmly explains to a baffled Jon this week that the "saving Rickon" part of her spiel is naive: He's as good as dead.
Just like Arya, I'm beginning to think the writers simply forget scenes these characters have in earlier episodes.

She accepted that all of her children are going to die before her. That's why she doesn't give a shit about Tommen anymore either. Even Jaime told her that the only people in the world that mattered were the two of them, and she just sort of accepted that too. If anything, Jaime is the character with no continuity.Arya? What about Cersei? The season opens with her daughter returned to her as a corpse, and the crown prince of Dorne murdered by the same assassins while in their care. Two episodes later, she can't even remember that she had a daughter. By mid-season she and Jaime are more worried about Riverrun than any sort of vengeance on Dorne. There isn't even any mention of them checking on the situation there, sending any messenger, or whatever. It's insane!

Put him in mocap for GOW just as he is too. He would fit right in :SFucking hell Tormund has such a badass voice! That dude needs to do some voice acting work. Put him in God of War!!!
She learned from theYup. They're pissing me off with how they're portraying her. She's either monumentally stupid or a monumental douchebag who sold out her own brothers.
