Yeeah. It'd be nice if he would have realized that this is a part of the game and played it cool. I mean didn't he say to expect everything to happen? He had to expect he'd be betrayed and killed at some point. I mean come on now.

Yeah, a piece of that storyline butchered Littlefinger's cunning nature. I would have made my peace with it had Bran not told him "chaos is a ladder" in S7E4. I know it's established that Littlefinger is skeptical of all things magic. However, being told that from Bran should have at least caused Littlefinger to investigate/probe Bran a little more (and I would have loved more of those conversations. A master bullshitter vs. a master truth-seer)
If Bran hadn't talked to him, I would have bought the shock he had at Bran calling out all of his decisions since Season 1. I could have bought him breaking down in disbelief at being shown magic at that level for the first time. But, eh. For him to have Bran repeat a line he only spoke to Varys and never inquire more about it? To me that seems very out of character.
Ah well. I didn't mind the Winterfell storyline when it came to Sansa, Arya and Bran as much as many others did. To me it was very believable to see basically a child solider with no political skills (Arya) get sucked into Littlefinger's ruse against Sansa, who had been trained in the art of distrust by the likes of Cersei and Littlefinger. |
