Littlefinger didn’t have a compelling explanation for what he claims was a terrible mistake, and he and Sansa both knew it. Sansa didn’t quite succeed in weaseling out of Littlefinger just what he did and didn’t know about Ramsey Bolton’s psychopathy before he married her off to him - the man remains the most inscrutable and stone-faced inhabitant of Westeros. Even at the end of last season, could you imagine her going toe to toe with Littlefinger in a contest of intelligence and will and self-possession and actually fighting him to a draw? But that’s exactly what happened. Let’s start with Sansa, whose transformation is rapidly becoming one of the best and most rewarding aspects of this season.
And it topped it off with an emotional gut punch of an ending. But every plot thread last night had real forward momentum, while still maintaining the slow burn tension this show is good at. Previous episodes have rocketed back and forth between moving things forward too fast and not moving them forward at all. But it’s got to be in the top five, and certainly the best of this season so far. At this point, there have just been too many episodes to say “The Door” is the best hour Game of Thrones has ever produced.
