GAME OF THRONES #7:-You Win or You Die ACT 7 Chapter 1-2011

I'm not arguing that the metaphor wasn't apt, simply that it was unnecessary, and franky took away a lot of Littlefinger's mystery. It would have been much better to let Littlefinger betray Ned, and then only some time later this season or early next season, give him a little speech like that explaining his motivation.

And, I had to watch the whole scene with my hand over the remote control, lest my wife come in and give me a hard time about all of the action going on on the screen. She already only watches the show grudgingly (though I did point out the equal opportunity male nudity later on in the episode, but it somehow failed to molify her).

I understand your complaint.

For me, I guess it didnt take away much of Littlefinger's mystery (I read the books so that would be hard to do).

In my mind, what it did was characterize Littlefinger with a less direct metaphor versus straight and simple exposition. In my view, it did not really talk to his motivation for the why he betrayed Ned but painted a picture of how his mind works.

Additionally, I don't have the wife issue so less complications for me to deal with. :lol:
 

I found Littlefinger's "Explanation Scene with Whores" to be a nice summary of his intentions. He needs to have a scene like this in every episode--although they should use different women and occasionally throw in a third.

Good TV.
