So, last night's episode was pretty dumb. Okay, maybe not the whole thing, but Brienne and Pod running into Sansa and Littlefinger at an inn like an awkward run-in with someone at your local Applebee's was quite cringeworthy.
First you have Pod creeping on the serving girl... We get it, Pod's a sex machine, MOVING ON.
Then you see LF and Sansa sitting together in a booth like the most awful first date ever. LF is picking at his food and Sansa is just looking at him with utter loathing in her eyes (at least we have that, sigh). She makes a comment about how she doesn't understand why men love wine so much (couldn't help but think of another dearly-departed wine connoisseur, amirite?). LF says it's because it gives them courage, and Sansa snarks, "Does is give YOU courage?" and just stares daggers at him, and he has no response. Yeah, she basically called him a wuss. P.S. Both of them are looking very tan, for some random reason.
Pod spots LF first and is like oh shit! Then he sees Sansa, and he's all, "Psst! Sansa Stark, eleven o'clock! NO DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK!" But Brienne, perhaps making up for their boo-boo last week in just letting the retinue from the Eyrie trot on by, she gets up and approaches. LF is all shady with her, as expected, egging her on about how she failed to protect Renly and then failed to protect Cat. Sansa is just staring at her blankly. Finally, Brienne takes a knee before Sansa and recites the same oath to her as she did to Cat. Frankly I'm surprised I didn't hear Sandor's BoBW oath come tumbling out of her mouth... Anyhoo, Sansa rejects her with the following inane dialogue:
Wait, whuh?? What does that even MEAN?? Is she suggesting SHE has a choice? Like, with ANYTHING?? She didn't have a choice to be in KL either, and she sure as hell isn't free right now! I guess she CAN choose to go with Brienne and get away from LF (whom she clearly can't stand)... but show-Sansa isn't the best decision-maker, is she? (ahemBATTLEOFBLACKWATERcoughcough)
So, LF then tells Brienne that she should join them, which seems to imply that he wants to take her prisoner? Brienne's all FUCK THAT and fights her way out of the inn, totally skipping out on the bill and everything!
Of course, forgetting the bill wasn't her biggest problem -- how about forgetting to TELL SANSA THAT HER FREAKING SISTER IS STILL ALIVE??!?! She could've said, "Yeah, I totally fought and killed the Hound so she could get away." Granted, none of that info would probably have ingratiated herself with Sansa (let Arya get away AND killed the Hound), but she should have said SOMETHING! Then again, if she had, that would've messed up LF's little plan for sending Sansa to Winterfell, wouldn't it? (smh) Oh show...

SANSA: I saw you at King's Landing, bowing before the king.
BRIENNE: Neither of us wanted to be there. Sometimes we don't have a choice.
SANSA: And sometimes we do.

But yeah, why are they making Brienne so fucking stupid?? In the books, yes, she is kind of slow sometimes, but that's mainly due to her young age. She's MY age on the show, so there's no fucking excuse.
