re: GoT Season 7 Casting News, Speculation, Spoilers, etc.

I really hope that's not the case for 3 reasons:

1) Arya has no real connection to Littlefinger. Yes, he ruined her family, but she is incredibly ignorant of it. I am not sure if LF in the books has ever set eyes on Arya, while I know he has twice in the TV show. Plus Arya already got Walker Frey. I think Sansa or in the least Tyrion should be the one to directly off him.

2) I really like the idea of LF's death having his throat slit by the Valyrian Steel dagger he framed Tyrion with and the one he put up to Ned Stark's neck when he said "I did warn you not to trust me".

3) The final season turns into every shitty fantasy series ever. Really, with LF and almost certainly Cersei gone, who is left? The Others and Euron at best. The Others are clearly just Evil that want to kill all of our main characters. Euron on the other hand may be even worse than Ramsay. There's no layered villain left in the series that you can somewhat sympathize with and root for. For the naratives sake and for the one thing Martin has bitched about "The Lord of the Rings", LF needs to stay until the end.

I think in the books, Varys will still be a definitive villain at the end, and LF will at least live until ADOS in order to see Winterfell. Plus I still think Stannis becoming the Night's King is a distinct possibility.
