The Bard of Banefort Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I image that Sansa will be suspicious of Daenerys at first, given the whole burning-people-alive thing. D&D seem to want everyone to love Daenerys though, so I'm sure there probably won't be much suspicion after the first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose of Red Lake Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I cant imagine this going well. A character has never started out suspicious of someone then everything ended up going swimmingly. Sansa's agency is a big part of the story. Even if Dany is the nicest queen ever she doesn't want to be under any one's control ever again, especially not an outsider whose overall mission is to conquer all seven kingdoms.

Rose of Red Lake Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Also, if the Northern Lords don't agree that Daenerys is their ruler then Sansa, as the heir and Lady of Winterfell, is the deciding factor if Dany can claim the North or not. Jon isn't Lord of Winterfell and he will always refuse that title because it would mean usurping his siblings rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollygag Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Emergency Awesome made a nice observation about Sansa's hair in the crypt promo being like Dany's and that Sansa tends to style her hair like those she admires. Basically a big hint that any conflict is short-lived. ~8:15 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the show may or may not make a big deal of this, when one thinks about it logically, there is no reason for Sansa not to support Dany, as she is a much better option that the alternative-Cersei. A Queen-Dany, an Ally on the throne leaving the North pretty much alone is a much better option than anything else that is feasible at the moment, unless Sansa is stupid enough to think the Northern forces can defeat first the WW's and then march to KL.

Faera Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I would say that Sansa was cool but respectful. She has no reason to prove anything to Daenerys given their family's history, (in fact, Dany need to demonstrate to the North she is not her father's daughter), being lukewarm is a reasonable attitude to have towards Dany.

Kajjo Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I believe the imminent danger of attack by the Others will dominate the Sansa-Dany meeting and Sansa-Jon reunion. Dany bringing Dragons and offering a powerful and necessary force will be decisive. Defense, not politics. More interesting will be if and when Sam and Bran will reveal Jon's true parentage and claim to the throne. How will Dany react? How the Northerners? Unpredictable. Again, defense can be more important than politics and the outcome of the war decide more than negotiations. Who will die, who wil survive?

I say the Northern Lords will look down on Daenerys for two big reasons: She's the daughter of the Mad King. The Mad King perverted the custom of Trial by Combat with the execution of Rickard and Brandon Stark and then called for Ned and Robert's heads, starting Robert's Rebellion (don't believe Bran when he says Robert's Rebellion was built on a lie, because he's a liar). The last time a Northern Lord brought a foreign-born woman home (Robb marrying Talisa), it... ended poorly. Robett Glover refused to support Jon and Sansa in Season 6 because of what Robb did.

Rose of Red Lake Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 yeah its kind of bizarre how people think the whole story is just building up to Jon handing his crown to Dany and everything going swell after that. Jon: my people won't bend the knee after everything they've SUFFERED Sansa: we clearly need to suffer more for Dany's sake, she is the main character after all and as a result she should get everything that we worked for! *eyeroll* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH How would it end for the North without Dany's help? that is the only question you need to answer, the rest is pretty much useless. Dany has lost one of here beloved dragons saving Jon's butt, tried to negotiate a truce with Cersei to help the North, has given up her quest for the crown at the flip of a switch to come to the North's aid, and did it all while not requiring Jon to bend a knee. What else does she have to do to show the North she is a worthy ruler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's a step backward for her character to be copying another queen who just showed up to rule over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them doing some cheap teen soap drama and then diffusing it in a stupid way so that they don't actually have to write anything compelling which is what they typically do nowadays. But hopefully you're right and I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sansa's S8 hair is similar to her season 7 style, but slightly more elaborate. It is a typical northern style, which has at times been worn by Lyanna Stark and Cat. The only difference is Sansa has an additional braid. If anything, Dany is copying the northern style to try and fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in response to Emergency Awesome stating Sansa is copying Dany's hair because she admires Dany. I reckon that's a load of rubbish as Sansa was wearing almost the same hairstyle in S7 and she hadn't even met Dany at that point, so how could she have been copying Dany? Dany has advisors from Westeros who can explain the various Westeros fashions. So my comment is a dig at Emergency Awesome. Trying to find a story where there is none.
