I've read the original stories. I was a little surprised that they moved the Moon Door scene to an earlier time in the narrative. Poor crazy Lysa.

I read spoilers,so I knew the scene was coming,but not this episode.

Is Little Finger going to take up with Sansa? I hope not.

Big shocking stuff coming and we have to wait two weeks.

Is the scene with Sansa and the snow castle supposed to be a foreshadowing that Sansa will return to rule Winterfell?

The book readers seem to think that scene was very important.

I'm surprised that Marillion wasn't present. He was really important to that scene. Now who is Littlefinger going to blame Lysa's death on?

Maybe he would try to manipulate Robin into saying he really wanted to see if his mother could fly.

1. An accident with Littlefinger and Sansa as the witnesses
2. A suicide with Littlefinger and Sansa as the witnesses
3. Blame it on Robin and his obsession with watching people "fly".

The bannermen of The Vale are well aware of the mental instability of both Lysa and Robin. An operator like Littlefinger is aware that if they just give them a halfway convincing story, they will accept it out of relief that Lysa no longer has power over them. So much the better if that reason also can neutralize her son.


Book Spoiler:











It looks to me that the producers are trying to skip over and condense a lot of the Sansa/Littlefinger in The Vale storyline from the last 2 books. That is not a bad idea. Having Robin get "sick" or have an "accident" is a part of Littlefingers long-term plan in the books. Getting him locked up for his mother's murder would be a sensible alternative to that storyline.

Fight for Tyrion. But they don't know that it's a giant he'll be facing.
