I dunno what Petyr Baelish and Varys fates are, but damn, their characters have been assassinated, they can both die any moment and no one would miss them.
Petyr has gone from manipulating god damn kingdoms to trolling Arya and Sansa. If he ends being killed in the north it will be because the writers have decided to make him the dumbest character on the show.
Meh.

Quoting myself to emphasize what I said earlier.
What a ridiculous way to let Petyr Baelish go, horrible, just horrible writing.
What was he trying to achieve anyway? Get Sansa to kill Arya and then what? What was his end-game here? Yeah, nothing. Just trolling the sisters with no long term plans, the writer forced a "twist" that everyone saw coming. Fuck off. Having Sansa and Arya turn on each other was artificial as fuck and just a big waste of time. Having Petyr, the man with so much to hide, hanging around the three-eyed raven AFTER he experienced Bran's magical powers first hand is just... stupid.
As for the rest of the episode, I dunno. King's Landing is always interesting, but a lot of the conversations and "pair-ups" didn't feel organic at all. I did fear for Jamie's life for a moment, Cersi could've done it, so the tension was real. This was the best moment of the entire finale.
By the way, why haven't Danny asked for Yara and Ellaria sand's lives to be spared? You know, her alies, the ones that were captured trying to win her wars, and trying to achieve the most difficult mission that Danny and Tyrion had assigned to them. She couldn't have saved Olenna but she can try and save these two at least.
Whatever. The highlight of this season is Lady Olenna last breaths, the rest is "Meh".
I must dig through my old posts and find my impressions after the sixth season finale, a huge difference between now and then.
