@@mclovinjr9086 they literally cut off most of the Meereen, Dorne, Iron Islands and Vale plotlines. They had lots of material to work with. Tens of characters that have relevance in the books simply don't appear at all since seasons 3-4. That's why the show started to suck in season 5 and had some significant problems by season 6, and they just created the snowball effect that got us seasons 7-8, where D&D were basically trying to save a sinking ship. I guess they cut all those plotlines because they thought it would all be too big for them to end the show by season 8, and that really was what ruined everything. They should have listened to GRRM and aim for 10 seasons -- they could have added more material to each plotline so it wouldn't all look completely rushed and nonsensical by the end, as it happened.

He did a great and engaging job with a stereotypical villain role but he's a way more talented and nuanced actor than GOT allowed him to display (and his accent work was seriously messy!). It would be a real shame if that is his 'defining role' given his much more subtle work in indie films and Irish/UK tv. Hopefully, it will be the 'laddah' to more high profile work - if that's what he wants.

His defining role for many of us in the states is as Mayor Tommy Carcetti from The Wire. And his accent was really good on that show; I didn't know be wasn't American until after The Wire concluded. And although many people think for some reason that British and Irish actors can easily do "American" accents (there are a billion different kinds) that is not the case! I feel like most just default to some terrible stereotypical southern accent that sounds like no place in the south in particular and they think, "See, ahm uh Umerican!" But Aiden did a legit middle Atlantic accent in The Wire.

I suspect he’ll get a similar death in the books, but it will be carried out at the Vale with Sansa present. It will be an echo of Tyrion’s “trial” at the Vale which was a consequence of Petyr setting Tyrion up. It will also be an echo of his murder of Lysa. And it will mirror his show death by being brought about by his efforts to drive a wedge between Sansa and a member of her family: her cousin Robyn Arryn (who Petyr is basically plotting to kill) instead of Arya

Make her a great weapon in her own way(different from Arya). Hell I wished on the show they would have done all that then have her go to the Boltons and manipulate Ramsey into killing his father. Show her how dangerous she would have become.

Apart from the 'mad Dany' plot point, I think the biggest disgrace in the story was Littlefinger's death. Hell his arc from season 5 onward. Aidan gave a brilliant performance as LF and deserved so much better than leaning against a wall or lurking in the shadows on his way out. After Cersei's death I think Littlefinger's should've been most epic/memorable. Aidan earned that.

Probably the most important character and in my opinion the only person who actually deserved the throne(other than the goddamn Mannis) Poisoning Jon Arryn, setting the Starks and Lannisters against each other, having a hand in killing Joffrey. If he hadn’t done what he did, Ned wouldn’t have been named Hand, Bran wouldn’t have found out about Cersei and Jamie and wouldn’t have been pushed out of the tower, no red wedding, no Tyrell and Lannister alliance, no knights of the veil at winterfell. Only wish they would have had more material for him. Because I did not cheer at his death. I puked.

Got/Asoiaf "fans" snubs LF character like other characters do. Someway funny and sad in the same time. Personally he is my fave but people can still hate him and meanwhile appreciate him and recognize his importance to the plot. But there are sadly a lot of people who really didn't understand the importance of him in this story. For example there are people who only watched the show and actually did not understand he is the reason behind Joffrey death or think he is not even involved. And here I can't even blame DeD cause is clear also in the tv series that LF is behind Joffrey death. 🤣

@@stephenjames8384 I still hold onto the belief that LF was connected to the faceless men and this was a double. Arya was alive and saw her own face, so it’s possible. LF was from Braavos and has the Mockingbird as his sigil. He was the master of coin and works directly with the Iron Bank of Braavos. He’s even been the one to offer to get their help in the past, like when Robert wanted to kill Dany. He understood the danger and the safest thing to do would be to make everyone think he was dead so no one would come looking for him, which also helps him evade the long night.

His death is another on the list of the one true issue with the ending to Game of Thrones. They spent all this time introducing well written characters, then spent very little time closing them. Why that happened is up for debate, but I can say with confidence this is a big reason why George is taking so long with the books. Honestly, committing to only two books was probably the biggest mistake he has made. There is no way to introduce the myriad of important characters he has done in the book series and NOT have a few end like this, if you do not give yourself infinite time to do it. But that should not be wholly looked at as a bad thing. Interesting stories come to abrupt ends all the time in the real world. Just because it isn't satisfying doesn't mean its bad writing. The real reason he had to die was to signal the justice that was needed to close the Stark plots. The only regrettable thing is that it all happened so quickly. Whether he escaped and was chased down for another 5 episodes before he was eventually killed doesn't matter to me. It was always going to end that way.

Little Finger was an ambiguous and duplicitous character. Gillen played that aspect very well. Neither hero nor villain.

Aiden was one the most talented actors on set of G.o.T. He was great in Peaky Blinders too. LittleFinger's character was too intelligent for D&D to write so they had Sansa Lannister & Mary Sue do the knife thing.

...sadly so many of the greatest characters in the show's history (including Littlefinger) were ruined due to the show runners failing to rise beyond their limited abilities when called upon to do more than simply 'adapt' someone else's great writing. HACKS.

No matter how badly the show runners screwed up the end of the story, and the characters, this show is still going down as one of the greatest shows of all time. If that is what AG's name is attached to for his masterpiece, well I would say he could do a lot, lot worse. Plus, hey guess what? AG is who made that character great. Sure, George wrote the character in the books. But he's just a slimy mostly bad villain. AG made Baelish far more complex and intricate than PB was even written. Your portrayal was the Chef's kiss, Mr. Gillen. Good luck to you in all future endeavors.

Now it's the time!! I am the only one starving for Littlefinger fate? I still strongly believe he was not dead in the series (but the changed plan to rush it and anyway they didn't knew how to write him anymore). There is the theory that he paid a faceless women to die instead of him (a blonde women we see in the episode prior to his death with who he exchange something (a silver coin?) and she said "your time is up". He knew he was cornered and he is smarter than that. He knew Sansa was not trusting him, he knew Bran could see, he knew Arya was a faceless women. That being said, what do you think would have happen with him next? If he was hidding somewhere it was for a purpose. We know he like to see people fall from the ladder and watch the chaos before moving his pawns. To me, Littlefinger is the counterpart to Varys. They symbolize revolution and tradition accordingly. I guess Littlefinger was going to come back and build an empire as the leader. Remember he said he didn't want to play with their rules. To me, this mean he would not play according to blood law and monarchy (it was this thing Catelyn use to hurt him when younger). I do believe he would have an empire build with Stannis (don't think he was dead in the serie either) as a genera and with the golden Company (They were not really under the command of Cersei, why would a bank risk that for someone who doesn't bring anymore interest. It was dumb of her to pay the debt because now they do not need her alive anymore)
