Ten questions Game of Thrones Season 7 needs to answer
By Corey Smith
4. What’s next for Jon and Sansa?
Why can’t Game of Thrones fans have nice things? Why can’t the Stark siblings just simply get along? It appears that the producers are setting up some kind of feud between Sansa and Jon, and that Littlefinger will have something to do with it. Petyr Baelish clearly views Jon as a rival, or at least a threat, in his quest to win Sansa’s hand in marriage. Sansa, on the other hand, seemed willing to step aside and follow Jon’s lead before the latter was ‘elected’ King in the North, but did not appear to take Jon’s ascension as well as she thought she would.
So where does that leave us? Are we really supposed to believe that Sansa and Jon might plot against each other? Littlefinger remains the undisputed king of manipulation, and he’s clearly in Sansa’s head, but it remains unclear how even Baelish could engineer an outright feud between the two half-siblings (or cousins, now). We remain doubtful that Littlefinger could completely turn Sansa against Jon, but some level of dissension in the ranks is possible.
We hope that the tension between the Stark siblings is kept to a minimum, because we like nice things.
