He went out like a chump. Very disappointing.


Yeah, it was a bit jarring seeing him literally on his knees begging for his life.

It doesn't make sense for a (supposed) master schemer like Littlefinger to ever end up in that situation (trapped in a room where there is no way he gets out alive)

That's the point. He's out of his element, he's been outmatched, his life hangs in the balance, and he doesn't properly know how to react to that.

this

it was the first time he'd been outsmarted. his only strength was his cunning. he was never brave, he was always a coward, so it made sense to me that he'd have a total meltdown when things didn't go his way and was completely stripped of power


He was out of his element, because D&D had no idea how to put him in his element. He had Sansa sold to the Boltons and then hedged all his chips on her and the Starks. When one of the smartest guy, who has caused so much shit and survived for so long, does crap like that, you know the guy who wrote that was in the toilet brainstorming ways to wrap it up.

If there was good writing this season, LF would've noticed the absolute void of power in the Riverlands, HIS childhood home and Robyn Arryns ancestral home and tried to consolidate power over there. This entire season was dedicated to providing fan-service for the Starks, so they sacrificed every character and their personality to make that happen.

I don't think you know LF very well, he was never a coward. He even tells Sansa, so many people, they take so little risks and then they die. He would sacrifice it all to get what he wants. Just because you don't fight, doesn't mean you're a coward. I imagine more than half the people on this site don't fight, doesn't mean we are all cowards.

LF was brave when he challenged generic-Stark solider #3. LF has often been careless, foolish and brash, which can be translated to bravery depending on perspective. For example when Cersei almost executed him for speaking his mind. He also trivializes her during their meeting at KL, the person with all the power. All his schemes are of those who do not fear the reprecussion, in previous seasons he had a certain air to his character. Someone with a relatively low birth, standing and challenging rules and kings of his time. In the final season, he was outmatched by a bunch of kids.
