GOT Season 8, Episode 2 – Understanding “The Look”

Published April 22, 2019 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hi Shat Lords,

I wanted to get your thoughts on “the look” at the end of the episode. There is a montage of looks between established pairs at the end of the episode that which includes Sansa and Theon. I can’t decide if “the look” Sansa is giving Theon is a look of adoring affection because he saved her life by pushing Myranda over a balcony, helped her escape Ramsey and now has come back to right the wrongs he has done to her family OR if “the look” is all that, plus a “I may be developing additional feelings for you”. If its the latter, I don’t know how I feel about it. Sansa has developed into such a strong character, and while Theon is not the entitled prick he was in the early seasons, I can’t help but believe he is not deserving of her. Plus he is missing some key parts that Sansa deserves to… enjoy. I mean come on! She has had two less-than-ideal marriages and has yet to enjoy the “company” of the man who has vowed to stand by her, protect her and provide her children. Better yet, she has never had even meaningless sex with anyone. Even Arya has at this point! … (wowza that scene was uncomfortable).

All I’m saying is that Sansa deserves more than that. Hoping I’m just reading too into “the look”. Would love your guys thoughts on the matter.

Love the podcast, wish we could go on forever.
