We all knew someone was gonna get got in last night’s epic Game of Thrones finale. Whether it would be perfect and satisfying, or shocking and heartbreaking, it was pretty evident that not everyone would be making it out of this season alive.
But who the hell saw this one coming?
Petyr Baelish – the sneakiest, back-stabbingest, whispery-Irish-accent-havingest string puller in Westeros – got straight-up Arya’d in the throat in the middle of an epic trial sequence. It was surprising, to say the least, mostly because of how deeply satisfying it was. It was justice served on a silver platter – a rare event in Game of Thrones.
Needless to say, social media was lit up with reactions to the death of the wonderfully hate-able Littlefinger.
