I'm also not amused by their "let's threaten Gilly with rape for dramatic tension" idea. Books didn't need that. The whole thing wasn't needed. I mean okay Sam likes Gilly and he cares for her but everytime the story or scene switched to the Nightswatch we saw those two arguing if they can go or survive. Buh. They speaking around the bush and I was happy to see that they now leave the Black Castle. Sam is a great character but annoying with the whole "I have to protect Gilly thing" in Season 4 and 5.

Because it's much more entertaining than the Ramsay/Jon discussion. Sansa is an audience-child for almost everyone and to see her while she get's hunted by a psychopath is much more efficient.
