That's true, technically. I'm pretty sure Littlefinger always wanted to get Ned killed and steal Cat, though. I really do not think so. I'm sure he wanted Ned out of the play by having him sent off to the wall; and he wasn't the only one who did not see Joffrey going rogue against everyone and having Ned executed... that wasn't part of his plan. |

I wonder where Melisandre goes now. I'm sure she'll run into Arya eventually, but I hope she does some weird shit in the mean time.
I absolutely love creepy/magical/mysterious Melisandre, so I hope they play up that part of her.

It would serve her right if Gendry was with them again and told them what she did to him. I would really like to see Mel and the Hound interact. They are so opposite. |

Yeah tbh I'm 99% you're right and that's how it's gonna go down. Maybe she heals the Hound's burns (lol). Maybe she becomes the LSH of the brotherhood in the sense that she kind of takes control of them and gives them a much darker purpose (burning randoms as sacrifices to the Lord). I'm sure she'll meet Jon Snow again as well, but I just hope they capitalize on how creepy and sinister Mel can truly be. |

Lalalala I'm not hearing any of Sophie's BS. D&D said something similar in the post-show review, but that's not what I saw on my screen. To me it looked like Sansa was simply worried what Littlefinger might do. But apparently she's jealous of Jon? If that's the case, they're not doing a very good job of illustrating it. |

Yeah, but I wouldn't say Littlefinger killed Ned. Littlefinger even offered to help Ned, if only he was willing to seize power. Cersei, Petyr, Sansa, and even Ned are all responsible for the situation he found himself in, but ultimately, Joffrey is the one who changed the plan at the last minute and decided to have him executed. That's true, technically. I'm pretty sure Littlefinger always wanted to get Ned killed and steal Cat, though. I go back and forth on that. After all this time, we still don't have a great insight into Petyr's mind. We know he loved Cat, and that's he highly ambitious and motivated by his loss against Brandon Stark. But he hasn't shown much anguish about Cat's death or any great urgency to avenge her. Of course, we rarely see him open up in the POV chapters that feature him, and he's clearly a guarded person who hides his emotions well; and it certainly seems like a huge coincidence that finds himself in custody or Cat's daughter that supposedly looks a lot like her. While I'm really interested in Petyr as a character and enjoy his skills at manipulation, I think it's hard to believe that he makes schemes in a linear fashion, that would work in a Point A to Point B manner. I have to assume that he uses his knowledge and understanding of people to encourage them to react in predictable ways, while always having multiple backup plans if things don't quite go his way. I think he would have been happy to cozy up to the Starks if Ned agreed to seize power and oust Cersei. This of course would cause Tywin Lannister to rebel, and Littlefinger would have his war of chaos. Obviously things didn't go that way and Ned was captured. But I think he expected Ned to be at the Wall and out of the game, nobody really expected Joffrey to go against the advice of his more politically savvy advisers. From what we know, it's hard to really grasp what makes Petyr tick, but he doesn't seem very interested in romance or love, it almost seems as if that is beneath him, and he's lashing out at the system that looked down on weak little boys like he was while growing up. Even when he has Sansa in his clutches, he makes moves to set her up with more suitable heirs, rather than himself. I think he wants to not only gain power, but hold it, and marrying such a politically valuable target like Sansa would put a target on his back as well. After all, things haven't gone well for anybody betrothed to Sansa, have they? |

I think he does try to orchestrate things and has some success, but the reason that is true is because he is able to change direction when needed. I'm also unsure how much he really loved Cat or how much he really loves Sansa. I am sure that the way he was treated as a child made him incredibly bitter and dangerous. |

I'm also unsure how much he really loved Cat or how much he really loves Sansa. I am sure that the way he was treated as a child made him incredibly bitter and dangerous. One thing that's interesting is Littlefinger kind of paved the way for the Boltons' defeat in season 6. With Tywin Lannister gone, Petyr saw an opportunity to isolate the Boltons by giving them Sansa, which seduced them away from their newfound alliance with the Lannisters. This forced the Boltons to focus on their alliances in the North, which were shaky at best. So the Boltons find themselves with no Southern friends, and any Northern alliances they had were held together by fear rather than loyalty. Ramsay of course screwed things up with his sadism while Littlefinger was in the South, escalating the conflict between the Lannisters and Tyrells. And that's not even getting into his army of the Vale that saved the day for the Starks in season 6. Without Littlefinger, the Boltons would still be in power, and who knows where Jon and Sansa would be. Of course he's a dangerous ally to be indebted to... |
