      Casual viewers hear 'Stark' and 'Lannister' and expect it to be their show now because of GoT. This is to get ahead of people who hear Cregan Stark and think he and Jace will be back to back on the battlefield and Cregan will be in every 3rd Team Black scene

      @tajaemartin2251 I really can't stress enough that if you're dedicated enough of a fan to: Engage in communities beyond watching the show, watch UA-cam about it, have found a guy as relatively obscure and completely dedicated to this franchise as TDD is and watch/comment on his videos. That you aren't the average fan.
      What is clear to you isn't clear to everyone. Your expectations certainly aren't those of a casual fan who hasn't read the books and is only passingly familiar with the series. This type of person doesn't know the series won't expand out to GoT levels and would be susceptible to hype fandoms, saying all manner of wild speculation. It's only logical to try to cool people down before that is expected. Under promise and over deliver.

    Def seems a bit of a combo of potentially an off take along with tempering expectations from Hess. Starks aren't anywhere near the main focus of this era / conflict and perhaps she is mainly tempering expectations for the casual fans. But HotD does seem to clearly be highlighting Winterfell , the Wall and likely expanding Jace's Northern arc out , compared to the text. Can discern that simply from glimpses in the trailers , let alone statements from Condal. Sara Snow doesn't make or break the series but if it were up to me i'd include her barring GRRM instructing to omit. Even a lusty fling , young blood running hot / Jace giving into his lusty Strong side etc. I am all about highlighting the flaws of these characters ; to me these people's flaws and some of their mega ambition really define this era to me and should be amply highlighted. Though with Jace and Sara unless GRRM flat out told Condal that either she didn't exist or simply nothing happened between them , was all rumor and speculation. In that case perhaps a brief introduction would suffice.

    I think Sara Hess is doing exactly what the EW author says, "tempering expectations" for how much Sara Snow plays a part. Everyone hears the Starks and loses their collective minds because they were (are) so popular with the ASOIAF fanbase. I feel like Hess isn't as adept at playing up the show's talking points, and Condal, et al. are more articulate for the sake of the broader audience (and let's be honest, HBO wants to talk up the Starks' role in this show as much as possible)

    A minor subplot with a well-developed romance (in some form) between Jace and Sara (not leading to marriage) would be too good of an opportunity to waste (since young love is such a thankful subject in a television show), and is indeed still possible (given Hess' comments). I really hope they'll do it like this, but we'll have to see.
    It could also be they (basically or even completely) cut the character and replaced this subplot with something else entirely, i.e. we get 'just' this 'Jace at/beyond the Wall' storyline (which currently is still clouded in mystery, so I can only withhold my judgment on that).

Jace admits to having had steamy gay sex with Cregan.🥰 Mushroom likes Jace so although he loves scandalous stories he don't want to ruin his reputation. So he invents Sara Snow.

    Black Aly: Husband, you never told me you had a bastard half-sister. What happened to her?
