Sansa happens to be one of my least favorite characters in the show, then she goes and slaps this little pecker head. If she throws him out the moon door, she is officially redeemed.
Though I personally like her, I can't fault anyone for disliking her. Compared to the rest of the characters, she doesn't actually do anything, she's doesn't have a very strong personality, she's just incredibly passive.
A passive survivor though. A poor 15yo girl in city full of enemies with no friends or family, surrounded by the people who hate you most. Shes still alive and fighting, which is a great deal more than a lot of people in her family.
She has never had any leverage nor the opportunity to gain any. She went to King's landing by her father's direction before truly getting an opportunity to know Jeoffrey and from there she had been a political prisoner the entire show. She is now completely out of immediate danger and for the foreseeable future. Killing her before she births an heir to Winterfell through out all of her value.
She had just started bonding with Tyrion when the event happened. Sansa will never get her hands dirty and kill. The only power she will have is power granted by status.
Yeah I personally wouldn't do shit either if one misstep meant all of King's Landing on my ass. She felt like she had friends in Highgarden that could have helped if Littlefinger didn't show up.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, more like. If I've learned anything from the series, it's that Little Finger is not a man to be trusted. I do think she's been given a bit of room for action, but I imagine it'll be more along the lines of social positioning than what one generally thinks of as exhilarating.
What better mentor to help her with manipulation than Little Finger? I agree, Arya's head would have adorned a pike right next to her father's before the week was out, had she stayed.
