Well I wouldn't say I hated Season 6, no. Just as in Season 5, the worst parts were "anything touching the North" and Dorne. Dorne was at least thrown aside for most of it (though in such ridiculous fashion it was a laughingstock). "Anything touching the North" is the Sansa/Boltons storyline, Stannis as soon as he left the Wall, and Jon as soon as the mutiny began in the finale (which was due to Ramsay in the novels, and nonsensical in the TV version). Brienne was also largely wasted in Season 5, though great in Season 6 (good in first half, and even better when she was back in the Riverlands, closer to her book version).

Still, focusing on the Sansa stuff here. Again, realizing that Sansa isn't "a real person" who made decisions we think are weird because she's an annoying person....but recognizing she's a fictional character, and the writing for her made no sense.

I suspect Benioff and Weiss seriously are just writing Sophie Turner's facial expressions. As if they honestly think Sansa making a stern face at Ramsay as he dies counts as "strong female character" who "defeats" him for...telling him off?
