Pandean Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I wondering--did anyone notice how in Season six Theon was the first consensual physical contact she probably had in years (when they hugged to keep warm)? It shows a lot about their relationship and why they're so close now and had such a touching reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she saved him, but Theon did so unspeakable things to Winterfell that I cannot really see how she can forgive him. I would hate him forever. Having killed Luwin, Ser Rodrik and so on.

Technically, Theon did not kill Luwin; though he did murder two little boys. We don't know if Sansa knows that, either (I can't remember if Theon told her, or just said that he didn't kill her brothers). Possibly all the servants/castle-folk who witnessed Ser Rodrik's brutal execution are dead; and as far as we know, Bran hasn't discussed Theon's brief reign of terror with Sansa. And although Theon did terrible things at Winterfell; Sansa didn't personally witness his depredations; and the knowledge without the personal memory might not be enough to break the bond that was forged between them through mutual suffering in Ramsay's hands and then their desperate flight (where they nearly died). Theon risked his life to save Sansa, which no one since her father has done (more than her honorable brother, or Tyrion, or Sandor or her 'friend' Margaery or Littlefinger); and I think that will always outweigh Theon's sins as far as Sansa is concerned.

She knows he captured Winterfell and she knows that this capture led to all the deaths. And she has talked to Brana lot, even if they haven't shown it to us. My guess is, we have to assume the characters talk with each other since months and we simply do not see every conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies are coming Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 17 hours ago, Raksha 2014 said: I noticed that Jon told Daenerys of his true parentage before telling Arya and Sansa, his remaining family (Bran of course, already knowing). Isn't that a sign that Jon is more concerned with Daenerys and her feelings than he is about what his sister/cousins and the North might think? Well, since when are Jon and Sansa sharing information? In any case, Daenerys looked for him at the crypts and inquired about Lyanna. Jon may have not planned to tell her, but how is he not telling her Rhaegar didn't rape Lyanna? As for Northern independence, yes, Sansa wants that. But more importantly, the Northern lords want that and the Starks have no troops of their own. If the Starks tell the rest of the Northerner aristocracy they have to bend the knee to Daenerys and the lords tell them they've chosen to replace Sansa or Jon with Lyanna Mormont, that's it. The Starks have no hard power whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tianzi Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Am I the only one dissappointed that there was no Sansa - The Hound reunion?

The time I'm remembering is when he is leaving her in the woods with Pod and Brienne and listing some of his many sins. 1 hour ago, Tianzi said: Am I the only one dissappointed that there was no Sansa - The Hound reunion?

They had quite a bit of important contact in the first 2 seasons. I'm still hoping there will be some interactions to come (I think both of them will survive episode 3), even if their initial reunion was apparently off screen.

I assume they will meet again either during the battle or after the battle, since he has to live until Clegainbowl and she is definitely positioned to live to rule the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystical Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I love that Sansa decided to be outside with the soldiers and common folk, eating the same things they do. Instead of being inside in front of the warm fire, guzzling down wine or enjoying a better meal. Such a Ned thing to do IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragons 7th Eye Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Before the scene: The North is part of the Seven Kingdoms because the Dummy King bent the knee for nothing after already having secured the aid of Dany. After the scene: The North is part of the Seven Kingdoms, but there is a question about its position after the war because Sansa took advantage of Dany trying to run through the motions of girl talk to forge a friendship where none is needed. To me, Sansa and Dany conversation was the first real scene that we saw the new and improved wise Sansa. Show producers have been selling her as such for a while, but she took Dany to school right there. Now we have a question about The North back in the table and the cost to Sansa was - what? A missed opportunity to make nice and kiss ass. Remember what Catelyn told Robb about his bannermen: they are not your friends. Sansa seemed very adult and poised and Dany is still trying to get by by first batting her eye lashes and then, if that does not work dracarys.

She and Theon, forever connected by the evil they escaped and won, I really like that she is outside. I understand that she won't fight, but there is something of "people's princess" in that scene that I really admire. 7 hours ago, Tianzi said: Am I the only one dissappointed that there was no Sansa - The Hound reunion?

Martin tried to make it a case with "Blackwater" episode and "You won't hurt me" line (which I thought worked marvelously for the show characters) but it is not the same.

While true, I honestly thought D&D were going to have a little scene with Sandor saying 'Bird's not so little anymore.' Knowing how much they love their callbacks. I was baffled that they didn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's still jarring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonglass Order Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Am I the only one who thought there was something romantic between Sansa and Theon? At first, the tearful reunion I interpreted as a brother/sister thing, but then they're smiling at each other in the middle of a musical montage showing a bunch of other couples. It seemed like there was something going on there - and it would explain why they had a more emotional reunion than anyone in episode 1 (not that I don't think the other reunions *should* have been more emotional).

I certainly do not buy into a Sansa-Theon romance. The two are connected by both having been tortured by Ramsay. They escaped together, survived together and both still carry theirs scars from this horrible time. Theon has more than one circle of redemption and Sansa and Theon grew up together at Winterfell. I think, she is just happy to see someone who understands her physical and emotional scars and she is glad, Theon finally decided to fight for Winterfell. On then other, yes, Theon is one man who cannot hurt or abuse her sexually anymore. Any feelings would be very safe. He lost testicles and balls.

I got a sense of that too. So what if he can't give her an heir? Dany is supposedly barren but that wouldn't stop her from taking the IT. Regardless of whether they have romantic feelings, they share a deep bond that won't be easily broken. He's confessed his worst sins and she loves him anyway, even if that love simply turns out to be a sister's love for a foster brother. Other than Sandor, he's the only man who ever willingly stuck his neck out for her. Theon did it knowing his life was on the line. Littlefinger doesn't count--she was just a pawn in his manipulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
