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.
What does Varys do anymore? Where are his birds? How come he failed to see anything coming? How can one name him a SPIDER anymore?
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.
I get the need to make the show EPIC and fast-pace but major characters are suffering, forget being faithful to the books, the writers are not being faithful to their own god damn TV show.
Let's talk about Euron. He has no character development whatsoever... hey guys, here is another psychopath to replace Ramsy but without the motives and the background story.
What's Euron motive? MARRYING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, that's all what we got. All he does is showing up in unexpected places to ruin Tyrion's plans while being a psycho.
The direction of the show is inexcusable at this point. We could've had 10 episodes to flush out the story and have a fast paced epic season at the same time.
Develop old characters like Gendry and Randyll Tarly and his family some more. Introduce new characters the proper way, especially Euron, he could've represented both, Victorian and Euron Greyjoy, they had plenty of materials to derive from the books (the writers combined characters before into one and it worked well so far), but nope, let's sexualize the strong and wise Yara for I dunno how many consecutive scenes and make the Grejoys as uninteresting as possible
Meh.
I always thought the show handled many things way better than the books, the series started showing weakness during the 5th and 6th season but I still enjoyed them without complaining. This season, however, is so epic and fun to watch yet I end up complaining after every episode. I dunno. I am conflicted and not happy

Qyburn and Cersei took control of Varys' little birds last season.
