EPTIt's not incredibly bad though especially because people mostly talk about the battle strategies, something Tyrion never really had to do in the past tbh.

I would argue that Jon is also a bad general. A good leader and manager of people, but bad at commanding troops in battle. | ||

There's a reason the "trial" was done in front of almost entirely people from the Vale, they needed to accuse him and show that he wasn't acting in the Vale's interests. Cersei is using her (fake) pregnancy to appeal to Jaime and Tyrion's family loyalty to get what she wants. | ||

Well I presume he meant assassinate Littlefinger and take his face so they still have control over the Vale. | ||

If there was any logic to the littlefinger scene then Sansa and Arya just randomly accusing him without any evidence and then executing him in front of all the Vale knights would have started a brawl. Royce doesn't like littlefinger, but Robin Arryn, the LORD of the vale adores him and basically delegates his responsibilities to him. Also, little finger straight up admitting in front of everyone that he murdered Lysa and then begging for his life was completely out of character. Littlefinger as we knew him died off when the showrunners ran out of book material, this "death" was simply the writers cleaning house. | ||

It's TV writing to get the most "epic" moments, regardless of if they make sense or not. But did they even accomplish that? Are these scenes actually "epic" / have impact on you? I said it in the other thread but i would almost bet that one will have trouble to find a lot of scenes which actually will me remembered fondly out of this season. Especially if we compare it to earlier seasons where imo there were tons of these scenes. | ||

you may not like it and may not think it's practical but to say it doesn't make sense is not true. i mean i didn't shout when LF died or anything but i definitely had a righteous fist pump. it's exciting. he's an awful person who had fucked every stark over at one point. fuuckkk himmmm | ||

Actually I don't think the JA point has been mentiones the show previously, but yes LF is behind all of it. The only show one that doesnt make sense is Bran. How would he know about that situation (him falling). We never heard of an LF bird in WF. | ||

Surely the man who paid off the gold cloaks when betraying Ned would also pay off at least the lords of the vale to insure loyalty? It made little sense that Littlefinger wanted to plot against Arya in the first place. If anything he should have been plotting against Bran, who offered the only "evidence" at the trial which presumes that everyone there accepts everything Bran says as true now without question. But I'm still trying to figure out what Littlefinger's plan was? He made no effort to marry Sansa or consolidate his power in any way, and instead has lost power and influence steadily since leaving the Vale. In the context of the show having a trial made sense. What didn't make sense was the whole dog and pony show to make it look like Arya was the one being accused and everyone there accepting the outcome as if they had already pre-discussed what the out come was going to be since Sansa denied him his opportunity to defend himself. | ||

At his core, he always came off to be a petty man who wanted outsmart all the people that were more respected than him. And he did it, which is why it was no surprise that he assumed the stark kids would fall for the same tricks. | ||
