This is a little harsh for my taste. I'll admit I was upset when it looked like they were setting up the sisters to be at each other's throats, but when it turned out they were just tricking Littlefinger to fall into their trap, that was okay. Alright, it was also weird when she didn't tell Jon her plan before the Battle of the Bastards. Aside from that though she was pretty on the money- right about needing to store up food for the long winter, right about not trusting Dany, right about needing to give the armies a short rest before marching on King's Landing, and so forth.

Maybe that part is more an issue with Littlefinger than Sansa, but I didn't enjoy that part at all. The issue probably started when Littlefinger gave Sansa to Ramsay which is a good contender for absolute stupidest plot element, so it was likely a lost cause by then. She was suddenly just arrogant and confident in everything she did. Her path from naive little girl to that was basically just a lot disaster and then she was the smartest surviving them.

Right about not trusting Dany is misleading, because Dany lost Viserion, Jorah, Rhaegal and Missandei in addition to being betrayed by Varys after Sansa started thinking that. She had basically made her mind up about Dany from the start and it ended up being correct, but she might very well have been part of what pushed her there.

That process included Sansa telling a lie in front of the godswood in Wintetfell, when she swore Jon not to tell and then told Tyrion instantly afterwards. Not only was that awful to her step brother to begin with, it's literally the worst thing you can do as a person from the North. I know it's probably another "kin of forgot" bit from the show runners, but it's a terrible crime and her becoming queen of the North right afterwards is just further insulting.
