[...] the way showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff slowly built Sansa (Sophie Turner) up into a mini Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) over the course of five seasons was a master class in character development. [...] Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" happened, where Sansa was sexually assaulted by Ramsay (Iwan Rheon) in one of television's most controversial sexual assault scenes. [...] with so many (male) Starks potentially coming back into play in the patriarchal world of Westerosi politics, there's the unfortunate chance Sansa's rise to leadership be cut short. [...] we've all seen how well Jon's leadership went before (spoiler alert: not great), so maybe it's time to let someone else lead; someone who actually understands how politics work, who has proven diplomatic skills and a killer poker face. [...] pretending Sansa's sexual assault never happened would be a disservice to rape survivors, as would allowing it to define her. There was never a chance that the showrunners would follow George R.R.
