I really like Sansa's story arc. Apart from 'Dark Sansa' which just fizzled out, and had no purpose.

It's not the details of the story arc I like, it's the way Sophie Turner made it feel real as a naive young girl who went through a lot and developed some steel as a result. She never overplayed it but you could always sense the inner development from the hooded emotions in King's Landing to firmly in charge Lady of Winterfell. I thought it superb acting from an untried young actress.

yep I agree, she played it perfectly. specially in Kings Landing like you said.

Rory McGann was homeless for a while until shortly before being cast in Game of Thrones.

I think we are going to get it next year and then a posthumous release of some chapters and scribblings of ADoS some time in 2028.

We're gonna need a Christopher Martin to complete the legacy. Does GRRM have any kids?

From wikipedia:

In 2014, Martin launched a campaign on Prizeo to raise funds for Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot of Santa Fe. As part of the campaign, Martin offered one donor the chance to accompany him on a trip to the wolf sanctuary, including a helicopter ride and dinner. Martin also offered those donating $20,000 or more the opportunity to have a character named after them and "killed off" in an upcoming A Song of Ice and Fire novel.
