I had to stifle my reaction to Littlefinger's line because nobody else in my house has read the books. But I smiled on the inside.
But I can't really play that card for much longer. If we're honest, pretty much nothing happens in 4, or 75% of 5. Which means I have pretty much no idea what's going to happen for the next four years of this show, and I'm excited.
And they're already starting in on a bunch of those plots. There's basically no more Sansa stuff, very little Bran stuff (assuming he meets the Children of the Forest and Bloodraven in the finale), not too much more Dany stuff until the scene in the fighting pits...well, not any good stuff anyway.
The good news is that next season we're getting the Sand Snakes and the rest of the Dorne stuff, which I'm feeling optimistic about. If they do the Ironborn stuff, that could be interesting, and the emphasis on them in last night's ep indicates that they're setting up a return to that culture. I was bored out of my skull by the Victarion chapters in AFFC though, so who knows how that'll go down. I wouldn't be surprised if Brienne meets Lady Stoneheart at the end of the season and not Merrett Frey, although the impact of that scene would be cut in half if it looks like Brienne is dead on top of the LSH reveal.
