and geez Littlefinger, how about dying with a bit of dignity. nobody has blubbered that hard since Janos Slynt was on the chopping block.

while it was fun and logically the only conclusion to his story, that doesn't make the Stark sister scenes much more explicable. I would have preferred they if they used that time instead to show how Littlefinger was increasingly becoming a fish out of water in the new magic fantasy world. like you could have him going around and talking to various lords, attempting to scheme as always, but not having as much success as before. or maybe he thinks everything is going exactly as planned, leading to a takeover attempt in the great hall where he believes everyone's got his back (like Ned did) and then it turns out the kids screw him over the way he did their father.

it would be a nice mirror to the way Ned and Robb used to suck at The Game, and they just couldn't adjust until it was too late. basically that's what happened to LF, but the guy who was once called the Most Dangerous Man in Westeros deserved a more drawn out downfall like all his victims had.
