Family is family

@@cameronhowell3342 And, as Sansa admitted, she was a little bitch back then

I think it's because of the timing of the reunion. Both have just gone through some tough emotional stuff and here is a family member, admittely they were neve close, but a family member who they never expected to see again. The first family member they have seen in years.

And as far as they both know, they’re all thats left, everyone else of their family is dead

@@Fifi-jb3yxSansa knew by this time that there was a high chance Arya, Rickon, and Bran were still alive. Jon didn’t.

Because this was the first one.

@@mehwishkhan63 Not only that, but Jon had a better relationship with Arya then he did with Sansa.

@@mehwishkhan63 because we seens so much paint she got through comparing to arya start from S1 into this episode on S6

They also glossed over Aryas and Jon’s reunion. It should have been a fucking MOMENT in TV history.

@@CharissaAlex I know right?? Jon was 1000% closer to Arya than with Sansa

I think it also comes down to character journeys. Of the four remaining members of the Stark household, Sansa is the one whose journey proved by far to be the most transformative. John dealt with the most battle/bloodshed stuff, obviously, but he always had his sense of honor and duty to 'shield' him from any emotional blowback or consequences of his killings. Bran is, obviously, emotionally dead. Arya dealt with the cold, brutal reality of what she would need to lose to become who she feels she must to avenge her family. By the time she returns home, there's so little of who she was left, that she eventually decides she cannot stay. But she has become the badass warrior lady she always wanted to be. Sansa easily-EASILY, no contest-went through the most psychological and emotional trauma. It was enduring, relentless, and utterly dehumanizing. The physical trauma, while obviously extensive, was relatively short-lived compared to the more severe physical matters that John and Arya had to contend with(John's several battles and injuries, up to and including actual death and resurrection, Arya's blindness and brutal training in Braavos). With everything Sansa went through, the barest glimmer of comforting light and warmth from her past is equivalent to the full brightness and warmth of the sun. Of the three, Sansa becomes the opposite of what she wanted; she wanted to be a delicate, dainty lady in a fancy castle, attending parties and wearing pretty dresses and mothering children for her beloved King. Instead, she is a hardened, calculated, ruthlessly efficient but beloved politician, with no male suitor or children to vie for her attention. I personally imagine Sansa will eventually take a lover, but she will never marry them and grant them power equal to her own; she'll bear children and continue the Stark name, but she will suffer no rivals.

Yeah like , "My BeLoV'Ed JoFFFrEy".

I was glad to see them united period.

@@AbLaskar-ry8cs she was 12 man

@@perrycarters3113 thank you for your comment I feel it really well synthesizes a lot of my thoughts in the characters and journeys and why Sansa is my favorite character.

Yes…because she fulfilled one part of her oath.

It really was!

It was the first Stark reunion and it was the most unexpected one. Everyone has been begging for Arya/Jon and Bran/Jon. Given what Sansa and Jon had literally just went through and they were the first Starks to reunite. Honestly it was chef’s kiss.

I would have to say it was Danerys arriving with Drogon during the loot train episode

did you know that the only time all the starks were together onscreen was when they recieved robert in the pilot?

He is not a Stark though

@@maximumhate666 umm I think you miss season 8 there buddy 😂 Jon snow or aegon Targaryen is the "son of Rhaegar Targaryen and lyanna Stark" his mother is a stark so technically that make him a stark aswell, is it not ? 😅

@@sowwy2292 „that’s not how the force works“ ;) No, according to the lore (and medieval tradition) the father defines the bloodline. Biologically, you are right. By lore, he is not a Stark.

@@williamshelton4318 good for you, I only had my mother's last name 😅

Not only comfortable but safe. Finally felt safe.

The only decent reunion

I don't know. I personally like the next time Jon and Sansa see Rickon. That reunion was a real heart throbber

Tbh, that was just some weird thing that D&D decided to throw in at the last minute, and the fans like to run with it because Sansa is a popular character to dislike. In truth, Jon and Sansa were never close growing up, but the two never think badly of each other. Jon specifically recalls moments in their life like Sansa teaching him how to compliment girls with a fondness and Sansa thinks about how nice it would be to see Jon again during her time as a hostage. They likely wouldn’t have spent much time together as kids and they definitely were never as close as Jon was to his other siblings but there’s nothing in the books at least that suggests Sansa treated him badly like certain fans would have you believe.

@@taylorkathleen1405 I've only read the first book. Sansa wasn't bad to Jon but she was always very clear in making the distinction of half-brother, not hostile like her mother but very aware of status. I'm curious now to read the rest of tge books to find the tidbits of their relationship that you mentioned

@@breezy3392 yes, Sansa is very aware of the status/class differences. She‘s definitely not very close to him but it’s not because of a dislike or disdain for him. Sansa and her brothers would be educated differently and thus would not be spending very much time together, and she doesn’t feel like an outcast like Arya does, who struggles with the expectations and confines of her role as a “lady” and seeks out comfort from the other outcast in the family, her bastard half brother. Sansa and Jon just don’t have a lot in common and didn’t spend much time together, but it doesn’t mean they dislike each other. At different points throughout the books every Stark child acknowledges that distinct difference between themselves and Jon. None of them shy away from the fact that Jon is a bastard or insist that that he is their full brother, but they also don’t love him any less for it. Sansa is just the only one who gets hate for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would definitely encourage you to read the rest of the books and try to do so without letting fandom opinion sway your thoughts. A lot of fans are still bitter about the show ending and lack of book content and will have you reading into stuff that’s just not there lol

In the books they were ok with each other.

Not really, she sees him and refers to him as her half brother but don’t treat him any different, mainly because she isn’t close to her siblings, that is Cat’s fault because she raised Sansa as a mini version of herself, an example is that Sansa have a different religion than her siblings. Another thing that the show really fucked up is that Sansa has the best manners, is not likely of her to mistreat someone out of nowhere, even Arya (who often thinks that Sansa’s actions are meant to annoy her) says that Sansa wouldn’t laugh at her because of her manners. She regrets not being close to her siblings, her character having a kind of connection with Jon’s had a lot to do with them being the only or last Starks known to be alive and also both of them being idealistic about KL and the watch.

Nothing will ever beat watching weekly new episodes.

Worth the torture of waiting indeed

Actually, I binge watched and felt all the emotions y'all felt. The red wedding had me UPSET!! I was literally crying and in shock for an hour and didn't watch the next episode until 3 days later.

yeah im mad i binged the show in like 1-2 weeks and was like damn now what...

@@samcarbone4139 If you've never seen it I have 2 words for you..."The Wire".

Now THAT is a WOMAN!

He was probably scared of her as a child. Flashbacks from their time in Winterfell.

Same :( It Will upset me forever hahah this story had so much potential and with that horrible last season they ruined it forever, It dosnt Matter how many spin offs they try to release

They should just film the last season over. Give them a proper 2 or 3 seasons to explore everything they had to gloss over in the rushed season. I would bet HBO would pay for it but the only problem would be getting all the actors back to film.

@@taylors445 so apparently there is a sequel being developed centering on Jon Snow.

The reunion with Arya wasnt Well made at least in my opinion :( she was the closest to Jon, her little sister and she was was very cold with him

I noticed that, too.

House of dragons brought back the same appeal

Ugh it was such an experience, everyone watched it, even my teachers would talk about it. Me and my sister would wake up at 2am to watch the new episodes as they aired. My whole family debated theories during each new season at the dinner table till my mum was sick of it. No show has ever touched that, no show has ever been that mainstream. Even HOTD doesn’t even come close. It was the first show that despite being fantasy, it was mainstream. Everyone and their mother watched it, not just nerds lol

Me too

Yeah, I feel like she might be taller than that. Although she's also often been shown alongside Maisie Williams, who is 5'1".

They weren’t supposed to be. They were never going to match up with this one. That’s why this one was the first one.

@@jjh2456 It’s because the other ones are cringe like pretty every reunion with Bran and the Jon and Arya reunion was underwhelming when they were so close when they were younger. It’s not just because this is the first one.

@@mr.noride7226 they weren’t cringe. They were expected. This one was not expected and it was the first one.

@@jjh2456 Yeah, they were. Most of seasons 7 and 8 were cringe lol!

uncle? You mean cousin right.. he's Ned's nephew, born of his sister and a Targaryan

I dont remember there being reunion what book was it?

@@JJ-nu8qi I'm not sure what they're talking about. This is after we split from the books. I don't think Sansa was in A Dance With Dragons at all so the last we knew of her was a Feast for Crows when she was in the Vale being Alayne. This reunion hasn't happened in the books

@@ptolover7 That's what I was thinking because John is still dead and never left the wall either.

They didn't have a reunion in the books (yet). She's in the Vale pretending to be Alayne, no Ramsay in the picture for her, and Jon is dead.

Clearly your also a non reader because Sansa was never nasty to Jon in the books. Nor did she hate him. She just wasn’t close to him like Arya and the other Stark kids. As a matter of fact. The few times Jon thinks of her in the books it’s always fondly and a good memory. Sansa being mean to Jon is literally something show fans made up and then the writers added it in to season 6 in a toss away line. It’s literally not true in the books.

They're stepbro and stepsis, though. In a way. So... Ew.
