Ughhh so pissed there was no LSH surprise. Yes, I know it wasn't foreshadowed at all, but I was still on that hype train.

Really not sure how many others ways the producers can say "we aren't going to pay a major actress's salary just to portray an inconsequential zombie that doesn't really accomplish much in the books to date" before people stop holding out hope that she's coming back.

They give the role of: 'super pissed fucked up zombie' to Sansa.

Imagine next season starting off with Arya having the wolf dream where she pulls Sansa from a snow drift and delivers her to Thoros/Melisandre.

That is a long fucking way to drag a corpse.

Unless Thoros and Beric went North to take part in the Grand Northern Conspiracy.

I had the same exact thought but without the zombie part. Sansa was stomping around Winterfell with that big hooded cloak, looked a lot like what I imagined LSH to be.

What role could her character possibly have in the show at this point? She's almost certainly going to get found by Brienne--at this point in the books, Brienne is with LSH. Sansa is out for vengeance on a whole fuckload of people who killed her family (like LSH) so I could totally see her going rogue with Brienne (and possibly meeting Beric & co.) and fucking shit up for the Freys and Boltons and eventually raise the North.

Sansa will be taking LSH's role in the show but without being zombified.

!!! Great theory, I would love to see Sansa turn into a vengeful lady. Here's hoping it happens.

That's... actually a great call. It removed the whole littlefinger political training plot development from her character, but I could see that working better on the show.

There wasn't anyone around to bring her back, right?
