PARROTHEAD Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I just want to say. From here on forward. All I want to see out season 8, is a Stark die. Dont care which, would love it for all. People praising these idiots after the premeditated murder of LF. Which is all it was, them hunting a way to justify murdering what had been in previous seasons, one of the best characters portrayed. There was no trial, it was all just a predetermined route to flat out murder. Guy that tricked, deceived, conned and all else the most powerful and smartest people in the world. Falls to 2 young girls.. Hollywood writers in full Scooby Doo mode for that one. RIP LF. You were the best of them. Gone but not forgotten (except your entire season 7 performance that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was "in love" with anyone else at the time, but his brother was betrothed to Cat, then Brandon got the charbroil treatment from the Mad King, and it was expected that Ned take up the betrothal in Brandon's place as next in line of succession and so he did. Depends on what you believe about him and Ashara Dayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He denied other things, but either way.. admitting to killing the acting Lady of the Vale is grounds for an execution. On a slightly related note, anybody ever wonder how passe all the characters are about shedding blood inside halls and castles and whatnot? How do they clean up all the blood and waste? Sawdust?

PARROTHEAD Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Im just a bitter bitter man cddolphin. Needed to vent and rant for a moment. lol And after the Red Wedding. It looked like they used a salt paste to absorb it didnt it? I know kitty litter works in garages on concrete to an extent. Which is basically just dried clay pieces. Maybe something like that. But yea, I was thinking that too, like "that stone is kinda porous and would be tough to get blood out of." when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 LOL You are bitter. LF committed countless crimes and basically started beef w/ everyone out of lies, spite, and envy...... but you want a trial? LOLNO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved, loved, loved, loved to see a Trial by Combat where Littlefinger had to fight somebody. Arya even. He'd be confident then. But instead, Arya just finished him off way too quickly. I was a little disappointed by how quickly he went and how he turned into a sniveling coward. Don't think that was much like Littlefinger to be honest.

In the books he's described as being bigger then viserys so I just had a picture of him in my head. Show rhaegar was basically viscerys. Rhaegar is described as being a taller version of Viserys, which he is. If you go by actor height, Viserys (5'11) is 5 inches shorter than Rhaegar (6'4). If there is something that says that he was bigger in general and not just taller, I'd love to know where that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I viewed it more as LF trying to emotionally manipulate Sansa (definitely within his character) than him actually being scared, but that could just be me.

Falls to 2 young girls.. Hollywood writers in full Scooby Doo mode for that one. That's honestly not that surprising though. Because ultimately Littlefinger's Achilles heel was that he was never the one willing to wield the blade (only time you ever even see him take up arms is coming up from behind an already crippled Ned, in a hall where he's surrounded by gold cloaks loyal to him, and holding a knife to his throat at the end of S1); he was a master manipulator that never wanted to be the one to get his hands dirty. Sansa knew that - there were even clues to that dropped throughout this season when LF suggested Sansa not send Brienne away (because he sure as hell wasn't going to swing the sword on Arya). Ultimately, you had Sansa and Arya setting a trap for LF baited in all the right ways because Sansa (perhaps even as a student surpassing the master scenario) knew LF probably better than anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of why I put stuff in quotes, given that Ashara is never mentioned in the show, but is in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't have fit with Littlefinger's character though. He's not a fighter, never been a fighter, and he's pretty well known to have been like this since he was a kid (Edmure brought it up, Cat brought it up, pretty sure Ned brought up how his brother Brandon who was originally betrothed to Cat made embarrassingly short work of Petyr when he tried to challenge for Cat's hand, heck I think even LF mentioned it himself, and I'm positive Varys did in one of his assessments of LF to a different character). He's always been a schemer, not a fighter. And schemers aren't the type to choose Trial by Combat (and it can't be forced upon someone) unless they have monumental ways of stacking the deck in their advantage (which he didn't at that point).

Same, I was going to write the same thing. I think he was trying to tug at her heartstrings as a last-ditch effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The acting in the finale was just tremendous. I know I said it earlier, but I don't think it can be said enough. Lena Heady is always great as Cersei, but she blew me away this episode. The scenes with Cersei and both her brothers specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Little Finger should have fled winterfell when bran told him chaos is the ladder. He looked scared when he said that lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
