Anyway, back to congratulating our little haven, I'm glad I haven't really seen any wank here about Littlefinger's execution not fitting the letter of Ned's rules about executing criminals. I thought that criticism was bs enough when it came to Ramsay, but it takes a wilful agenda against Sansa to think the show meant for Arya's "I'm just the executioner" line to be taken literally instead of all 3 Starklings having tried and sentenced him together, and a further misunderstanding of Ned Stark, the man who was ready to murder Littlefinger in the street soon after they met, to think he wouldn't be pleased to know that fucker finally got his.

Did they expect Sansa to poke Littlefinger to death with her sewing needles or what? i mean, she could have used the dagger i guess, but it probably would have taken longer to stab him to death/been harder for her in other ways seeing as she's not a trained killer like arya. these people like to pretend that beheading men or slitting their throats is something anyone can do without training and that the takeaway from ned's words to bran (and bran only, neither of the girls were present for that lesson) is that moral righteousness is ultimately judged by swinging a blade in judicial capacity.

Agree! They worked together as judge, jury, and executioner to take out the man who attempted to destroy their family. I thought about Ned's remark but very few women have the physical strength needed to behead a man. Instead Team Stark used their best assets in the best way possible to make sure they were safe from further manipulation by Littlefinger. While I would have loved to see the scene with Bran and Sansa, the outcome has grown on me with additional viewings, and if I were Jon I would bestow medals on my sibling/cousins for ridding the world of LF's pestilence.

I'm personally preparing for a big hibernation period. I know my weaknesses and if I don't bow out for awhile, I'll just end up reading the leaks that are as inevitable as the sun rising at some point in time. This is the last season of the entire series and it's going to be over too fast once it gets here. I'm not really willing to slog through another 1-2 years of the nuttiness that exists out there trying to sort what's real and what's imaginary in the heads of the internet populace. I'm already stepping back and weaning myself off of everything asoiaf for awhile. I definitely do not want to be spoiled for the final season and if I continue to lurk here and there, spoilers will happen. I want the final season to happen for me with completely fresh eyes and that can't happen if I continue to hang out where it is being discussed but I'll pop in here every now and then because I like the company.

I hate that criticism so much. Apart from the impracticality of taking Ned's words literally as some hard and fast law that exists in the North, we also have examples in the actual story of Ned not passing the sentence himself with Gregor Clegane. It's a stupidly impractical rule to take literally and thinking that Sansa not being the one to "swing the sword" is significant is stretching to the extreme. LF doesn't somehow become not guilty because Sansa didn't directly gut him

There are so many Tywin's and Ned's lines that this fandom qoutes as some kind of law.

Anyway, back to congratulating our little haven, I'm glad I haven't really seen any wank here about Littlefinger's execution not fitting the letter of Ned's rules about executing criminals. When it happened, I actually thought it was perfectly Ned's 'pass the sentence and swing the sword' belief. They tried him as a pack and each contributed the part they were best at. Haters are just going to hate and if the scene didn't play out exactly as they have envisioned, it is all D&D's fault. I thought it was fine. I have a feeling it will play out differently in the books though, but again, I understand and have no problem with that either. The butterfly effect of putting Sansa in Jeyne's role changed the narrative of the North quite a bit.

I think the rest of that quote from Ned is important for the context, but is always ignored. Doesn't he say that if you can't look a man in the eye and hear his last words then he doesn't deserve to die? That has always felt like the important part of that quote to me, and all 3 Starklings stated him right in the eye and watched him die. I think ned would have been satisfied.

I was also going to mention looking a man in the eye but couldn't recall if I told was included in the show of not. Agree with you though, it was in keeping with the spirit of Ned's words. I did have my issues with the scene but this was definitely not one of them. I also find the whole "Sansa and Arya violated Guest right" thing absurd too. It would suggest no prisoner or person on trial could ever be killed in the keep they are held in unless they hadn't eaten there beforehand which

Zurik23M at it again: A beautiful tribute to all of our 'favorites' who have survived up to this point and banded together to face the coming long night ... together.
(This is not a Jon/Daenerys tribute, it's a stunning look back at all of the men and women who we have journeyed with this far from the start of Season 1 to the finale of Season 7)
