That has been the gameplan for the last few scenes of plot development. In the earlier seasons, where much of the narrative was based on the books, there was a logical consistency to things. Characters acted in ways that fit their character - either morally or politically or whatever else. That's not to say characters were perfect. Folks made mistakes...and usually there were CONSEQUENCES for mistakes (see: Ned, Robb, etc).

Last few seasons have basically been the writers throwing a fully detailed world in the bushes to created must-see spectacle TV with shock moments thrown in to go viral on twitter. Think about how Cersei blew up an entire church of royals and there was zero consequence or even followup on it. They keep doing that in the show...quickly decapitating stories and moving on like nothing matters.

What was the point of LF in those final episodes btw? He had nothing to do, no plots, no nothing. Same with Varys. Nothing to do. They just became slaves to other people's plots.
Yea Cersei blowing the Sept should've had half of kings landing rioting.

Agreed

Although i will say, speaking as a storyteller, SOME of that stuff was inevitable. As you get closer to the ending most story’s follow a certain formula and there’s not a WHOLE lot that can be done that wouldn’t seem rather obvious. At this point after, say season 5, we all KNEW that Jon, Dany, Tyrion, and Bran were mostly “safe” characters. Everybody pretty much knew that Jon would be resurrected, that Dany would make it to Westeros, that Bran would become the three eyed raven. After season 6 we KNEW that Jon would meet Dany, that Dany would go to war with Cersei, and Jon would go to war with the White Walkers. Its all about the execution, which in some ways they nailed and some ways they didn’t.

One thing they REALLY fukked up on was the LittleFinger stuff. The playing Arya Vs Sansa angle was a good idea in THEORY but it just didn’t pan out right. It played like they stripped both Sansa and Arya of all common sense.
Yeah I think people are complaining too much tbh blame George for not finishing the books .
What really changed everything to me, was her seeing that witch as a child. Flat out told her everything that would happen, then said her 3 kids would die....

Now imagine you're damn near 40... every single thing has come true, and a boy finds you fukking your bro...

"Oh shyt this is when my kids die.. I gotta stop it"

Ned says he knows the truth

"Oh shyt this is when my kids die.. I gotta stop it"

Tyrion sends the daughter away

"Oh shyt this is when my kids die.. I gotta stop it"

Joffrey out there fighting on the front lines

"Oh shyt this is when my kids die.. I gotta stop it"

Margeray gonna get my son killed and take all my shyt

"Oh shyt this is when my kids die.. I gotta stop it"






etc etc etc.... After the last one dies, which she tried to stop, but actually was the cause of.... the future is caught up to the witch, and she's now like fukk it... I tried... Now I'm just pissed the fukk off

She's a boss bytch... But like Jaime.. Some shyt ain't forgivable
Nope all this is over her and Jamie not being able to wait to fukk .
