lol.... it's been burning since season two, I think! Ever since that dickless dude attacked it.

You mean Ramsay. Ramsay burned it to the ground, not Theon.

Roger that. Watched the full sequence yesterday, rather than scrolling through... Damn you Walder, Roos, Ramsay, Tywin and Reek! Damn you!

Theon attacked it first before Ramsay burned it to the ground.
It was the trigger that brought the response.

That is true, but from my recollection the books indicate no fires in Winterfell during Theon's attack. There was no siege and it was a complete surprise to the remaining guards. Hence Winterfell is erroneously shown to be burning if it's directly after Theon's takeover.

he did burn the two little boys... that would have made a bit of smoke.

Well, Ramsay set it up to look as if Theon burned it.

Why does Little Finger tell Sansa what he did and has someone killed in front of her.

He is supposed to be the smartest and says he doesn't trust dumb people but here he trusts the dumbest character Sansa with quite a few secrets.

Could be a bit of the old reverse psychology. Maybe he's hoping for the dumbass to spill it at some point

Well at the risk of SPOILERS, he really wants to bring her into his fold and have his way with her - because he was madly in love with Catelyn.

He could have played the "I saved your life from the Lannisters at great risk to myself" card but instead he shows her how calculated he is by killing the man she befriended and telling her his plans are for a greater purpose of seeking power. That's not going to get her to fall for him.

First, don't assume anything about Sansa from the show. Second, while your eye has been on so many other things, Littlefinger has been bossing this game. Nothing, and I mean nothing, he says or does is off the cuff... Nothing.

Nah Little Finger's play goes beyond that, he needs Sansa's virtue in tact for the next part of his plan for her. He does want her that way but his ambitions overrule his dick. Plus Sansa actually comes out of her shell later on, I just don't know if the TV character can pull off Alayne.

Varys as well.

Varys as well.

Love how he pops up in ADWD.

Indeed. Difference being that Littlefinger advances himself while Varys tries to keep the realm chaotic for a different cause.

Exactly... Watch Littlefinger's "the climb" thing again. Varys for the realm, Petyr for himself. Loved how Aidan Gillen delivered that scene.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Y'all reckon Varys is actually acting... nobly, and selflessly...?

One of my favourite scenes as well. Worth a rewatch.

Think they might reveal his plan this season but who knows.

What are your opinions about Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons? Think she will settle down and loose sight of original goal or....?
