Sophie Turner Might Have Just Dropped a Major Clue About Sansa Stark's Fate on 'Game of Thrones'


Tomorrow (Sunday, April 14), the eighth and final season of the global phenomenon that is Game of Thrones will begin airing—and we’ll finally start to get some answers about how the heck this thing is actually going to end. In the meantime, even the more casual fans like myself have taken to analyzing the frames of whatever footage HBO sees fit to release, not to mention deep-diving the promotional interviews the cast has given for hints. Hey, you have to look for clues where you can with this show—after all, its cast and creators are famously tight-lipped about revealing spoilers.

Take Sophie Turner‘s recent interview with Entertainment Weekly: Is she perhaps leaving us clues to Sansa Stark’s fate? When asked about her character’s storyline for the upcoming season, Turner had this to say: “Sansa this season is very much enjoying becoming a leader in her own right and the leader of Winterfell, and this year there are certain challenges of people who come into her life that threaten that. She has to go behind a few backs and risks tearing apart her family.”

It already seemed pretty clear that Daenerys (and her dragons) would present at least one of those challenges. Co-star Emilia Clarke, who plays the powerful character, has also hinted at tension between the two characters.

Turner also almost seems to confirm a popular fan theory about Sansa and Jon Snow: “Her [Sansa’s] relationship with Jon [Snow] is struggling because he’s so clearly in love with Daenerys and believes in her completely. Sansa thinks she’s power-hungry and not the rightful queen. There’s a huge amount of fighting between Sansa and Jon.”

Plus, Sansa doesn’t exactly love the idea of having dragons around. “She’s not happy because she’s going to have to feed these dragons,” Turner says. “They require a lot of food, and they have limited resources.”

This all sounds pretty ominous—especially because we know that no character, big or small, is ever safe on Game of Thrones. It’s Turner’s quote about going behind a few backs that sounds like a clue that she might either go all the way to the Iron Throne or die because she betrays someone close to her. And as Cersei Lannister famously says in season one, “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”

Emilia Clarke Just Revealed What Happens When Dany Meets Arya and Sansa on Game of Thrones


Surely one of the most nerve-wracking scenes on Game of Thrones season eight will be when Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) meets Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) for the first time. Don’t forget the Mother of Dragons already has a lot stacked against her: Her family has done some pretty terrible things to the North (a.k.a Stark territory), including burning Sansa’s Uncle Brandon alive and kidnapping Jon’s mother, Lyanna. Sure, Jon and Dany may be a couple now, but I have a hard time believing that’s going to make Sansa and Arya turn a blind eye to these crimes.

Clarke confirmed as much in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. She says Dany’s first interaction with Arya and Sansa seems fine at first, but it soon becomes clear they’re not all going to become best friends.

“I like to think that it’s like Meet the Parents,” Emilia Clarke tells EW. “It’s like: ‘I hope they like me. [Jon Snow’s] wicked. It’s a real good thing we got going on. He’s the final piece. We’re destined for greatness and world domination is a breath away.’ And so I need to be like: ‘Can I braid your hair, Sansa? Little Arya, come over here, let’s play some cricket.’ So there’s that. And then, very, very quickly, it’s like: ‘Wait, is it just me, or do they hate me?’”

Oof. This does not sound pleasant at all. But those who keep up with Game of Thrones theories shouldn’t be too surprised. It’s long been speculated that Sansa and Dany are going to outright hate each other this season. Sansa’s loyalty to her family—as evidenced by the scaly outfit she wears in the photo, below—all but confirms Dany is on her shit list. And maybe even Arya’s hit list.

(The outfit I’m referring to is in the fifth slide.)

This icy meet-and-greet happens during episode one of the new season—which premieres this Sunday on HBO—so you won’t have to wait long before finding out what happens.

This ‘Game of Thrones’ Theory Suggests Sansa and Daenerys Will Hate Each Other


The season eight premiere of Game of Thrones is roughly a month away, and fans can’t stop buzzing. Of course, it doesn’t help that HBO keeps dropping new pics and promos every other day. With each update, viewers get a little more excited—and they post about a billion fan theories on the Internet.

The latest one, based on a brand-new pic of Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), is particularly interesting. Earlier this week HBO released a new GoT poster featuring Sansa wearing what looks like a scaly, navy-color outfit and sitting on the Iron Throne. This might seem innocuous at first, but remember the house sigil for the House of Tully—Sansa’s mother’s house—is a fish. The House of Tully’s words are family, duty, and honor, so Sansa’s wearing scales implies she has every intention of keeping up those values when she finally meets Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) in season eight. And that’s bad news for both Dany and Jon Snow (Kit Harington). If Sansa plans to honor her family in the season ahead, that basically means Daenerys will be enemy number one (among the living, at least)—with Jon right behind her, given that he bent the knee to Dany and pledged the North’s allegiance to her.

Why is that, you ask? Remember, the Targaryens burned Sansa’s grandfather and Uncle Brandon alive. Plus, Rhaegar Targaryen “kidnapped” Jon’s mother, Lyanna Stark (Ned’s sister and Sansa’s aunt), which is what started the last war in the kingdoms. So, in other words, the Targareyens have done some serious damage to the North—Sansa’s territory.

Check out her outfit in the Instagram video, below. She appears in the fifth slide:

People in the North haven’t forgotten about what the Targareyens did to them, and Sansa certainly hasn’t. In season seven she reminded Jon of all the damage they caused, and the other Northern Lords cheered her on. Sansa clearly has an ax to grind, and this new photo suggests she’ll have no problem grinding it when she and Daenerys finally meet face-to-face.

And here I was hoping these two would be best friends. We’ll find out everything for sure when Game of Thrones premieres Sunday, April 14, on HBO.

New 'Game of Thrones' Clip Shows Sansa and Daenerys Meeting for the First Time


After what seems like an eternity of waiting, Game of Thrones‘ eighth season is returning in April. And without any teasers to satiate our obsession, it’s a been a long, hard hibernation. Now, finally—finally!—we’ve got some sort of clue as to what’s going to unfold in Westeros. HBO just dropped the first official teaser for the show’s final season. And what it lacks in length (it’s only five seconds long), it more than makes up for in drama.

The clip shows Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryens arrival in Winterfell, and features Dany’s first-ever face-to-face meeting with Sansa Stark.

And let’s just say the encounter isn’t all smiles and sunshine. Much like winter in Westeros, the interaction between the two of them seems icy. In the video Sansa begrudgingly tells Dany, “Winterfell is yours, your grace.”

Though the clip is new, Entertainment Weekly had previously reported that the new season of Game of Thrones would open in Winterfell. Back in November the outlet revealed that, “season 8 opens at Winterfell with an episode that contains plenty of callbacks to the show’s pilot. Instead of King Robert’s procession arriving, it’s Daenerys and her army. What follows is a thrilling and tense intermingling of characters—some of whom have never previously met, many who have messy histories—as they all prepare to face the inevitable invasion of the Army of the Dead.”

The scene was also previously featured in a HBO promo highlighting the network’s 2019 projects. That clip showcased an awkward hug between Sansa and Jon, so clearly this scene is all around tense. One Twitter user joked, “When you bring your new girlfriend home to meet the family but your half-sister-cousin ain’t having it. #GameofThrones #Season8.” Brienne of Tarth and Ser Jorah Mormont were also on-hand for Sansa and Dany’s showdown and Jon’s homecoming.

The trailer also featured snippets of some of our other favorite HBO shows, and in the Big Little Lies segment we got a spotting of the queen herself, Meryl Streep, in character in Monterey. The next chapter of True Detective and the final season of Veep were also featured.

The exact date of the season premiere has still not been announced. But it’s safe to say, this season is going to be chilling.

Here's Exactly What Jon's Letter to Sansa Said on 'Game of Thrones'—and Why It's Huge


The Game of Thrones season seven finale was stacked with jaw-dropping moments. (Spoilers ahead, duh.) Jon and Daenerys finally slept together! Arya killed Littlefinger! Tormund’s beard managed to get even sexier (OK, maybe that’s just my opinion)! But one of the bombshells not a lot of people are discussing is the letter Jon wrote to his sister, Sansa Stark. Much like Littlefinger’s scroll, the font was pretty illegible at first glance. Thanks to the Internet, though, we finally know what Jon wrote—and it’s very interesting.

Read the full letter for yourself, below:

Sansa,

Cersei Lannister has pledged her forces to our cause, as has Daenerys
Targaryen. And if we survive this war, I have pledged our forces to
Daenerys at the rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. We are both
coming to organise the defence of the realm.

Jon Snow. Warden of the North.

And here’s what it looked like on the show, in case you forgot:

Way to just drop all this information so casually, Jon. He literally just told Sansa he stepped down from the throne and surrendered an army to Dany in one fell swoop. I’m surprised he didn’t preface this with some sucking up, seeing as how much Sansa was in his corner.

So why is this huge, you ask? It foreshadows drama between Jon and Sansa. Something tells me Sansa isn’t going to be OK with just giving up the North and its army to Dany. She’s a born leader, and I can just picture her glowering at Jon and saying, “Look, I’m sorry you had to go fall in love with your aunt, but the North is mine.” Jon will probably pout in response. One of Dany’s dragons will hiss. It’s going to be drama, drama, drama. Is it 2019 yet?
