Nope, not talking about Ayra, instead the one who was left hanging (Ian McShane) at the end of the episode which really dissapointed me.
I'd say it's yet to be revealed if it's a good idea or not.
Got a tip for us?

Assuming she did send a raven to Littefinger (likely she did), that's actually quite disappointing for her character. She's been through hell so it's understandable she's anxious to reclaim Winterfell, but you would have thought that she would have matured a bit and reuniting with Jon would make her become a bit more careful in her decisions. How many times can you trust Littlefinger before telling him to finally **** off?
Did anyone notice the first seconds of the scene when Arya is first on the screen walking towards the camera, 'a girl' walks to her right and away and then off camera. The clothes and hairstyle was exactly like Arya was sporting prior to this episode as a faceless man trainee.

I was so focused on her I missed it, interesting. I think it's safe to say it's not how it appears on the surface.
I don't know if you're referring to the books--which I have not read--but since Littlefinger controls House Arryn I don't see anything good coming from their supporting House Stark to take back Winterfell.I'd say it's yet to be revealed if it's a good idea or not.

My thoughts exactly.
The "lesser" evil perhaps (at least on a more emotional, raw, and immediate sense)?
Exactly, as soon as I saw the old lady coming closer to Arya, my spidey-sense was tingling all over... It really was out of character for her to be that clueless and reckless
It certainly appears she is hiding this from Jon, but the Karstarks, Tulleys, even Tyrion come to mind...
I also thought it to be for littlefinger at first, but then maybe it was the edit of the preview, but I think it might have been destined for his great uncle the Black Fish...
I was not referencing the books, but I'll say that Littlefinger maneuvering to have Sansa marry Ramsay really pissed me off as a consolidation of the story in the show, that did not happen in the books. In the book, the Bolton's had a fake Sansa, and she (the real Sansa) was posing as Littlefinger's nease.
I'll agree that Littlefinger motives are not known in any case. Ultimately, he looks out for himself, but he was in love with Catlin Stark, and I thought he was infatuated with her daughter, and was looking out for her best interests, he saved her from probable death in King's Landing, but admittedly his true motivations are speculation. This is why the turn in the story of the HBO version bugs me a bit because it's a drastic alteration. In the end, it may not matter if Littlefinger is revealed to have no redeeming qualities.

1. Karstarks are hardcore anti-Stark since Robb chopped off their Lord's head.
2. Sansa already sent Brienne to the Tullys.
3. Does she even know where Tyrion is?

Strictly from the standpoint of the TV viewer, we know Littlefinger cannot be trusted. Sansa standing up to him like she did was a big moment for her character's development and so sending him a raven now in desperation is very disappointing (I'm really hoping it's to someone else and perhaps it's a plot shift no one saw coming).
Could be there to show how desperate the situation is and basically how much of a sacrifice the Starks are willing to make to try to take back Winterfell and the North.
I think there Likely is a fake Ayra.
No, I meant in the books, Ramsey marries Jeyne Poole, who is pretending to be Arya, not Sansa.
Good catch! I doubt its a coincidence that they had an Arya look-alike walking offscreen just at that very moment.
I had a though last week that Arya and Jaqen might be setting a trap for the Waif (who clearly has had it out for Arya for a while now). This actually might support that.
Glad to see The Hound back. With this show, I feel like no death is final unless you see it (and even then, who knows with Melisandre around.. Speaking of, where did she go?).
There's certainly all that, but it doesn't necessarily mean that desperation won't push them to try something like that (similarly to how it did before).
Unless they are super special ravens, a bird usually goes back to where it comes from... I thought.
