Watching GoT again and my sentiment has changed for Sansa 😞
I read the first 2 books and then stopped and watched GoT episodically as they came out. I was in my late 20s/early 30s and Sansa’s character used to frustrate me so much. Like, how do you not see your actions actively working against your family?
But now that I’m re-watching it in my 40s and get to watch it at a faster pace and see how things come together…
My goodness how naive I was. She was still a child. Like I knew that at the time but I’m seeing it so much more clearly. I’m at S4 where she just learned about the Red Wedding and how her brother (and mother) were not only killed, but they paraded his body around with his direwolf’s head stitched to his body.
She goes from being an 11 year old with a fantasy crush, tries to join the crush’s family, and then just starts catching L’s left and right. It’s so incredibly sad.
My bad Sansa. I’m rooting for you (even though I know how everything pans out). I should’ve given you grace - you were pretty much still a baby. 💔

Every rewatch makes me think that Rob Stark would probably have been the best king in the history of Westeros. He would've been the "Second Best King that Never Was"

As much as I wanted to see Bronn and Lollys Stokeworth relationship. I understand why it was glossed over.

Would Roose still have betrayed Robb if Robb listened to him more?

When Jamie went to winterfell to help defend it, should he and Danearys have sat down together to talk about her dad? A.k.a mad king
i know this sounds kinda silly, but i always thought it might have been worth while for Jamie and Dany to have had a few minutes to chat about her dad. and jamie given the chance to explain why he did what he did so she could have heard his side of what happened.
i doubt this would change anything plot wise but i remember how fascinated danaerys was when she heard personal accounts of her brother from Sir Barristan Selmey. Jamie could have given her insight about the mad king and how or why he ended up the way he did.

How do think she would die if GRRM didn't/doesn't change his mind?

Why is Ellaria allowed so much power? Am I missing something?
I'm on rewatch number I don't even know and one thing that's really bothering me this time around is Ellaria's status. I understand the concept of a courtesan/"paramour" (how is she a "paramour" though if Oberyn flaunts her everywhere as if she's his wife?) But this is on a different level. I understand that she's the mother of Oberyn's youngest children and it seems that they probably would be married if she was noble instead of a bastard, and there's also the fact that the culture in Dorne and their view on "bastards" seem to differ quite a bit from the rest of Westeros.
But with all of that, I just don't get it? Like why is she just chilling in the palace with the Martells after Oberyn's death? Why is she involved in political discussions and trying to influence Doran when she isn't a noble? Why is she allowed enough access to Myrcella to be able to sneak into her chambers when she has such a vendetta against the Lannisters because of Oberyn's death? Why is she allowed enough access to Myrcella to poison her? It just isn't making any sense to me. I am reading the books but I'm only on the first so maybe once I get to where Oberyn and Ellaria are introduced in the books I'll get some better perspective, but from the perspective of the show it seems that Ellaria is just the favorite mistress/girlfriend of a dead prince.
