Game of Thrones 5.7 "The Gift" (spoiler alert)

[TorchTheWitch]

12. I'm not seeing it

The whole point of Sansa being there and marrying the shit is for the north to have a reason to rise up against the Boltons. And Stannis is on his way there to try to take Winterfell back from the Boltons with a skeleton crew. There needs to be an actual reason for her character being there and a reason for Reek to go back to being Theon. And a reason for Stannis to become a force to be reckoned with rather than the flopping around useless wannabee he's been for all the seasons thus far. Ever since Robb was killed the northmen have just been farting around useless as well. Ever since the Starks got decimated in Season One there has to be something to bring them back into power... at least taking Winterfell back and organizing the north against Cercei's total screw up of ruling in King's Landing.

Let's not forget that there are only seven seasons slated for the whole tv show that's going to HAVE to take them to the end of the book series and why Martin clued in the show writers as to what happens to everyone and how the series ends. And if Martin taking so stinking long between each book he bloody well better not die before the last one is published or there's going to be a line of people halfway around the world wanting to dig him up just to kill him again for such audacity.
