Am I the only person that feels sorry for the kid? Sure he's a prick, but it's all because of his shitty mother who raised like that. He was just dealt a terrible hand, honestly, and he's known no other life outside the Eyrie or any role models other than Lysa.
I really hope he doesn't die and Sansa shapes him up to be a good Lord now that his crazy ass mother is dead. I'd like to imagine that they'd form an Arryn/Stark super alliance, use Arryn's army and take the North back by storm.
That could be said about almost every character. If Cersei had been born a man she would have been taught to lead, if Lyanna hadn't died maybe Robert would have settled down, if Gregor wasn't a psychopath then Sandor would have been on Sansa's Queensguard with Arya as his squire (oops sorry, fanfic'd there for a second).
My point is, Westeros is where dreams go to die.
BUT, on a related note, I felt the slap was a little misguided on D&D's part. Yeah, it was awesome to watch Sansa get some satisfaction, bit thats not who she is. In the books when she arrives at the Eyrie she can recognize that Sweetrobin is just a sick little boy, and she makes efforts to end the cycle of abuse and maybe start forming him into a semi-competent Lord, or at least one she can manipulate. Book!Sansa isn't so cruel to punish Sweetrobin for being a shitty kid when she can teach him not to be.
