Just wanna say that Littlefinger was pretty blatant in his "I am a bad guy, I am here to take the Iron Throne" agenda when he had a discussion with Varys earlier in the series. Danielle and I are always pretty quick to add Littlefinger to the list of suspects for Anything That Goes Wrong.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
It seems clear that Littlefinger is after power, but I don't think he necessarily wants Iron Throne power. I reckon that if he has any opposition to the throne as it stands, it's the Lannister aspect because that family are a considerable force. I think he'd be happy enough with a more malleable king on the throne.
He definitely wants to be the man controlling the Iron Throne from behind the scenes and not actually be king. Pretty sure he says that in the first season in a conversation with Varys, I think.
Littlefinger lies. Thats his thing.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Does he say it? I think it is heavily implied.Littlefinger lies. Thats his thing.
Either Littlefinger is working for someone who is going to shock us, or he really does aim to be the most powerful man in King's Landing. A conversation with he and Cersei about power comes to mind. He has a high opinion of himself, thinks himself very clever, betrays others when it benefits him. He is very good at playing a pawn, but I don't think he wants to be one always.
And this is why you don't cancel a show before it's had time to get going, Fox.
Anyway yeah great episode, it seems like not much happens south of Craster's but actually this may be one of the most important episodes to date. Dany realizes conquest and rule are different things, we learn that Littlefinger's been behind things since Season 1, Arya sees that maybe she's not yet good enough to kill "every smurfing person in Westeros", Cersei's either broken or up to SOMETHING bad, she's never that civil, and yeah all kinds of stuff.
I think one issue with the pacing was that the episode seemed to largely focus on one area/group, do their part in full, then move onto the next one. Usually they jump between different groups several times throughout an episode.
I actually prefer that to all the jumping around. In fact I would prefer to watch a whole season devoted to Dany's storyline and ending it right when she arrives in Westeros (finally) and then ignoring her in the main storyline until the last season. Similarly for Jon and Bran's stories. This is an issue I have with the books as well. I have to turn back several (hundred sometimes) pages to the last POV chapter for that character in order to remind myself what happened in their story last. It's silly!

Am I the only person who thinks Nikolaj kinda looks like Jon Bernthal?
