Is George R.R. Martin’s Latest Game of Thrones Chapter a Dig at the Show’s Messy Dorne Plot?

As if to drive home the difference

a

between show Sansa and book Sansa, Martin—who definitely knew that wedding-night scene was coming—released a Sansa-centric chapter titled “Alayne” (her alter-ego at that point in the books) one month before the episode “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken” premiered. In that chapter Sansa is safely (well, “safely”) ensconced at the Eyrie and nowhere near Winterfell, Ramsay, and his terrible dogs. As far as we know, in Martin’s version of the story, she’ll never run into Ramsay at all. For better and sometimes worse she’s a different girl entirely (with a different name, even) on the page.
