“The Smartest Person” in GoT - Sansa

She’s an idiot.

I think the only reason Arya says that is to symbolize her loyalty to her family. That convo with Jon had a lot to do with loyalty.


Make me think Khaleesi might turn on Jon at some point. Given also that he is the rightful heir to the throne. It would be very unexpected, but it’s one of the weird theories I have given the dialogue in the first episode. And its expected to expect the unexpected in this show right?

The smartest person right now is Euron Greyjoy. Dude is slaying it figuratively and literally.

Smartest person but doesn’t know what dragons eat.

don’t understand how the show is attempting to declare that Sansa is now the smartest person in Westeros. What exactly has she done that makes everyone think she is?

I thought the same thing but if you think about it she has spent a lot of time with Littlefinger, Tyrion and even Cersei at the beginning. That’s some of the smartest, politically savvy people on the show.

I don’t think she is the smartest but she could’ve been fooling everyone. If you remember from the first season all she cared about was being a queen.

She's not even the smartest person on HBO. That goes to North Hollywood Henry (smarter person).

To be fair, Sansa did ask the most logical question in the entire episode - how are we feeding 10k Unsullied and like 100k Dothraki?

I agree. It's a bad case of forgetting the rule of "show, don't tell". Don't TELL me Sansa is the smartest one on the continent. Show me. And they haven't really done that enough. She "outmaneuvered" Littlefinger, but a lot of that was Arya, and it was EXTREMELY disappointing.,

It really depends on if She figured out LF's bullshite, or if Arya or Bran had to tell her. If she figured it out on her own... Kudos!
