I’m speaking more about the second half actually. I don’t remember where I started watching, but it was basically around halfway through. And it was really good.

Littlefinger’s demise was maybe a little too choreographed, but it was still good. Dany attacking the KL army. Jorah returning to Dany. Tyrion with his brother and sister. All the stuff north of the wall, especially the Night King resurrecting the dragon. Finding out about Jon’s true heritage. Olenna/Jaime poison scene. Sansa’s rise. Multiple Starks finally being back in Winterfell. The meeting with Cersei to show her the wight walker. Etc. There’s tons of good shite in that season. shite, it ends with the blue-eyed dragon blowing a giant hole in the wall and “winter” finally befalling main lands.

Say what you want about the show, but there are still a ton of great things that happened in S7. Plus it was the main time when various storylines FINALLY converted and characters we wanted to see together for so long finally got together in the same scenes.

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed watching it the other day and was pleased with how good it was. Now, I haven’t gone back and watched S8 again yet, so I can’t speak for that. But I remember there being some really good parts of S8 too (battle at Winterfell, Hound/Mountain, etc).

It just ends so weirdly and several things just felt either way too forced or way too silly (like Dany mad queen, Brand as king, Jaime’s turn back to Cersei, etc).

Arya killing Littlefinger is bullshite. Sansa should personally kill him. Slit his throat with the Valyrian Steel dagger behind him like Littlefinger did Ned and when he thinks he’s at his height of power. He went out like a whimpering little bitch when Littlefinger should go out quite defiant.

This how Littlefinger should have gone out. First he should have turned the Men of the Vale against Jon when the Boltons fate was secured and abducted Sansa from there. Season 7 would focus on Littlefinger trying to kill Jon and the remaining Starks to make Sansa’s claim to the North secure. When the Walkers attack in Season 8, Tyrion would come in with the Unsullied on Rhaegal to make the Walkers retreat. He demands Littlefinger’s surrender with Sansa’s army being rightly his being her husband, but Littlefinger refuses.

Tyrion flies into Winterfell on Rhaegal seeking to kill Littlefinger, but Littlefinger manages to flee into the crypts. Tyrion follows him, and is ambushed in the crypts by Littlefinger and gravely injures Tyrion. Littlefinger then slowly starts to taunt and walk towards Tyrion as he backs away, and Littlefinger taunts him with everything he’s done. As Littlefinger goes in for the kill the Valyrian Steel dagger goes across his throat from behind and Sansa kills him. He falls to his knees, looks at his surroundings and realizes he’s at the foot of Ned Starks tomb, and attempts a laugh before dropping dead.

That is basically verbatim how Littlefinger should have died. Also this prophecy is from the books:

quote:
dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs...

And later I dreamt that maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle built of snow."

Arya does not meet this criteria. Sansa does though, and House Baelish’s sigel is the Titan of Braavos and not Littlefinger’s personal sigel of the mockingbird. The show got the weapon and location (roughly, I think he’s killed in the crypts) right, but completely failed in Sansa actually killing him.
