sj4iy Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 In my opinion, Sansa building the snow-Winterfell is one of the most overrated scenes in the entire series. It's not nearly as important as some people make it out to be. Okay, so she misses her home..... obviously. Not very groundbreaking. The snowcastle isn't even among the most important things in that scene, let alone in the series as a whole. Yeah, maybe it's a nice little emotional moment (not for me though), but seriously, it's not very important for the plot or character. Obviously Sansa misses her home, who wouldn't? I'm surprised the show even bothered including it at all. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Cygne Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Well, she was supposed to find strength in the walls of Winterfell, she told LF off while shoving a snowball into his face. They didn't show the bit with her shoving the giant's head on a spike, either. They pretty much cut all her defiance and also are not showing any of her inner resistance, she's making choices to counter the choices others are making for her. And it is possible to show these things on film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It encapsulates a lot of emotions and was a very well written scene with beautiful imagery. Also you got the feeling winter was finally coming so shit was getting serious.

HairGrowsBack Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yes to the two previous posts. A scene doesn't have to be an "OMG moment" or plot-advancing to be considered amazing and fare among the best. Sansa snowcastle scene is wonderfully written and emotionally breathtaking.That being said, because of the very nature of both media, I knew the show version would never live up to my expectations; I'm just glad they've included it and I thought it was overall pretty well done.

The Prince of Newcastle Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 For me it goes:Season 4Season 1Season 2Season 3Season 4 will me made or broken on if Tyrion kills Shae, which I am doubting because tysha hasn't been built up at all and I think Shae will be the whore who goes. I truly hope I'm wrong and that it's just this website filling me with self entitled fan boy rage before I even see something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tiger Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Id like to say, I was not a fan of TV sansa in seasons 1 to 3, but I was a fan of Arya. Since season 4 the tables have turned, im loving Sophie Turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frey Pies Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Neither did I. My husband didn't even remember it at first, and he's read the books several times each. I also only had a vague memory of that scene. Also, the only reason I remember the line "Only Cat" is because, for some reason, the fandom glorifies it to an extreme.

Mark Antony Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 For some reason? Its an iconic line in an extremely popular scene. Cool you might not like the scene as much but its a bit weird to act surprised that its "glorified" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Iconic, sure thing. I talked with an unsullied friend of mine, he believed that 'your sister' was more cruel than 'only Cat'. Either way it's not the line that sticks with me, it's Littlefinger tossing out the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Personally the change didn't bother me much at all. I didn't think they needed to change the line but it didn't dent my overall enjoyment of the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since season 4 the tables have turned, im loving Sophie Turner. Yes. I have seen this reaction a lot over on the unsullied threads on TWOP and PTV as well. They are loving Sansa's storyline this year and I have seen more than one of them comment that Sansa is the most interesting Stark on the show.
