I haven't read the books but I know Tyrion isn't dead.

I do wonder how he is going to survive this.

Without really spoiling anything, it involves looking for whores, nearly getting eaten by lions, being sold into slavery, short range crossbow marksmanship, getting hideously drunk, getting abducted at a whore house and, rather bizarrely making a friend who likes him for who he is not what he is. 

Edit: apart from spoiling the fact that he survives, obviously...
Edit2: or I'm pulling your leg.

You forgot swimming and pig-riding.

The Sansa of the show is more confident and able than the Sansa of the books.  Especially in the scene before the inquisitors.

What part of that is inaccurate?

Wow, 5 minutes of non-boring footage with Sansa in 4 years and ~38hours of actual showtime.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The scene with the feathers was the best she's looked.

Oddly hott, you mean.
That too. I've long suspected as much and felt bad for it.

My guess: no sansa or littlefinger in the next season. They deal with martins inflating storylines by completing he arc as quick as possible.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeah. The books have been quite obviously heading in the direction we got a glimpse at in the latest episode (Sansa growing up and showing her fangs on the side of Littlefinger). They are just allocating less time to it on TV.

Which is all ok. Martin has been too obviously cashing in on the series success with the last two books. The pace in those became glacial compared to the first 3.
