Since we're all Unsullied in this storyline, I was wondering where you guys think it will go. There are only a few paragraphs salvageable from the book for Sansa, and they won't suffice for more than a scene or two. So we can onky assume that a lot of completely new material will make its way for Sansa in season 5.
We have no upper hands on BaS speculating here, so we might as well do it together. If you have spoilers, mark them!
My guess: given that Brienne is (unlike the books where she is doing something with a character that may well get cut in the show, if the interviews are honest) conveniently at the Vale right now, I think they'll meet up. I don't know if Sansa will even want to be saved at that point, given that she's seemingly taking charge of her life, but we'll see what happens. Also, Littlefinger is bound to get the shaft at some point, he's been too lucky. I hope Sansa makes Brienne shove Oathkeeper up his ass.
What I will be certain of, is that Sansa will begin to manipulate Robin Arryn. She'll use him as a tool. Whether or not it's against Littlefinger is another matter, but she definitely find her own power.

I am actually excited! I never skipped chapters in any of the books but man the Sansa chapters in the last one were pretty damn dull. Now that the Tv show blasted past all that blah-ness I am actually looking forward.

I for one think LF is hanging in there until the end of the series, or very close to the end. He's too much fun, and you need someone stirring up trouble in that area, especially since the Vale was never important until now. That'll probably change in S5. I think one of the themes of the series overall could be the fall of the old, powerful houses in favor of new, smaller ones. So the Vale is definitely a goner IMO (I'd say along with the Lannisters and the Starks, but that is just a hunch), but not right now. LF and Sansa could try and bring together the other houses, but I have no idea what they can do together at this point.
Robin is such a an obvious goner, that I'm starting to think he might surprise us. They could use him to forge a new alliance, I don't really see why the kid has to die. Without him, LF is no longer Lord Protector or whatever his new title is. He'll keep the kid around for now, and Sansa has no reason to harm him either.
And back to Sansa, sure that outfit was a bit ridiculous but I don't think she's down an evil path. That scene was just supposed to empower her. Of all the Stark kids (well maybe except Rickon because who the hell knows what's up with that kid), I think she is the least likely to turn "evil". She'll survive and thrive, and hopefully we'll see a much more interesting character than we saw/read about so far.
If she loses the ridiculous outfit (not just a bit Machuska!) I`m all for it, I just hope she doesn´t turn into another twisted bitch. I´d like a bit of subtlety next to this LF.

I agree, he could be collateral damage and take a fall but I reckon he's pure Teflon and will be there in some way at the end

One question: how does show Sansa Lannister (now that she revealed her true identity to the Lords of the Vale) get a divorce if there is any future plan for her to remarry?
Spoiler
as it is in AFFC
The only ones that can attest to an unconsummated marriage are Shae (dead) and Tyrion ( missing ). Even if any other Lannisters know it's likely not in their interest to reveal it. Can there just be a divorce in GoT world if Tyrion is missing or maybe presumed dead? If Sansa remarries (as a likely strategic ploy to form an alliance it seems likely) this could be a point of contest?

KM, I asked myself the same question as you actually not long ago at previouslyTV forums!
Spoiler
Even in the books her aunt says once Tyrion dies as a result of the trial she'll be free the marry her son Robin.
Someone suggested the obvious method that I never thought about the virginity test. Any maester should be able to determine she has never had intercourse.

This is true, and what an excellent perk for the job. Get me to Oldtown and sign me up

When Littlefinger attempts to get frisky Sith Lord Sansa is going to shoot lightning bolts from her fingertips and eviscerate him into dust.
According to one of Martin's latest interviews, that's not acceptable! Fireballs shooting out from fingertips are cheesy and not in tone with low magic as he wants to portray in his books. I think Weiss and Benioff must have facepalmed in duet at that little remark. We all know who used fireballs shooting from their hands...
Are you saying that Sansa will finger Petyr's ass? I would expect "using her sexuality" to mean booage and assage, not fingering. But fine TW, I'd watch that.

I don't see a future for Sansa. Lady is gone and a Stark without a direwolf is, well let's ask Ned:

Trust Jent to imply something I definitely have NOT said. (maybe just a little I did)
I don't believe that Lady Stark! Don't say that! I think Darth Sansa will eventually play Petyr. She definitely can charm the Vale lords and rally them under either
Spoiler
Robin or Harry the Heir and move North. I think Baelish is pretty much of same purpose and mind.
Sansa may try to play Littlefinger, but I think he will see through it! He got her out of KL. Why try to manipulate the man that saved her life? Lysa was right about one thing, "Think where she would be without him" "in their clutches, on trial for murder!" I'm sure she will try, like all the pretty women do, but I think Baelish is sharp enough to see the play!
I think they'll do a team this time and play against the others for this season (Boltons maybe). Mabye later on she will make a move and take him by surprise.
