The wedding of Sansa Stark to the sociopath Ramsay Bolton shocked and upset a lot of people. The writer-producer who wrote that episode has broken his silence about it, commenting on it on the commentary track for the season six DVDs.

After this horror show, Game of Thrones is going to have to work twice as hard to make Sansa feel like a protagonist.”]
