Keeping my fingers crossed that Sansa gives Arya a good reason to give her a smackdown
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 15:45 (six years ago) link
Isn't that letter of Sansa's that Littlefinger led Arya to find this week a possible reason?

Robb, I write to you with a heavy heart. Our good king Robert is dead, killed from wounds he took in a boar hunt. Father has been charged with treason. He conspired with Robert’s brothers against my beloved Joffrey and tried to steal his throne. The Lannisters are treating me very well and provide me with every comfort. I beg you: come to King’s Landing, swear fealty to King Joffrey and prevent any strife between the great houses of Lannister and Stark.

xps that letter might as well have said "P.S. I am writing this under duress"

I want to think Arya would see through it, or at least talk to Bran about it before confronting Sansa.
But I know what show I'm watching, and if it's taking up this precious story time towards the end, it has to be leading towards a sister-sister confrontation.

BTW as a complete aside, is it just me, or does littlefingers "chaos is a ladder" speech make no sense? I've been thinking about it for ages and as an allegory it seems really clumsy?

Now I want the ending to be Littlefinger chosen as First Consul of the Westerosi, but with Lady Stoneheart (the ghost of the common people) lurking on the periphery.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 11:23 (six years ago) link
hate to break it to you, but Lady Stoneheart will never live like common people
― sansa riff (sarahell), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 12:33 (six years ago) link
hmm. The metaphor works for me--it seems like one of the main theses of the series: In a rigidly hierarchical class system, the only way for a crafty commoner to ascend to nobility, (or a lower noble to ascend to royalty) is to wait for the realm to fall into chaos and to take advantage of it/be seen as indispensable. (Or in Littlefinger's case create the chaos yourself.) The ladder works because while you can climb a ladder to a higher level, you may also fall off it and crack your head open, particularly if there are other people trying to climb the same ladder at the same time.
― President Keyes, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 12:44 (six years ago) link
Nothing more chaotic than a ladder. (I'm terrified of heights, so I probably do agree, actually)

It's like in Hamilton: You’re an orphan. Of course! I’m an orphan! God, I wish there was a war! Then we could prove that we’re worth more than anyone bargained for…

There's been a fairly detailed Ep6 summary on Wikipedia for a few hours, so stay away from that if you're concerned about spoilers.

I'd be happy to wait but we're away next week so decided to watch it. It's much better quality than the one that leaked a couple of weeks ago.

i think this one should be okay - one of HBO's european arms accidentally leaked the stream and people ripped the stream

This was someone ripping the stream after HBO Norway and Spain accidentally put the episode up on thier platform.
