Of course it isn ' t her show . Nobody claimed otherwise . She didn ' t choose her family when she gave up on Rickon before she used him as motive to get Jon on board on reclaiming Winterfell , or watched Jon almost get butchered because she withheld critical info . That is why , plus the ambiguous look and the showrunners and cast interviews , it was left open for interpretation . You might be right , I am not saying she won ' t choose her family in the end , but it is far more complicated than that , especially since Jon is a Targaryen his grandfather murdered Sansa ' s grandfather and uncle . I have to disagree . Sansa is the rightful heir to the North Bran is presumed dead or lost . If they wanted the showrunners , they could have created a very interesting story . But anyway , that isn ' t happening apparently .
