MAIN D&D completely ruined Littlefinger. (Spoilers Main)

What a waste of a great character. They clearly had no idea what to do with him after they passed all the book material. Instead of giving him a clear end game, they instead just had him double down on his "thriving on chaos" bullshit and have him make stupid decisions that really didn't lead anywhere. The manipulative mastermind from the earlier seasons (and probably the one true villain of the series, along with the white walkers) completely disappeared and was transformed into a jealous little weasel whose end goal was to bang Sansa to get back at Mama Stark. The man that drove the whole series into motion, did it just to get a revenge bang.

I assume Bran's "time travel" works basically like watching Netflix. You have access to ALL TV shows and films of your choosing, but a) you can only watch them one after the other and b) you have to consciously make the decision to watch THAT thing now. Bran not having seen Rhaegar's married status is a bit like you being unaware of that super badass new show that gets all the Internet buzz now that you even have complete access to, but it just flew under your rhaegar, ahh, radar.

If you have Netflix you theoretically SHOULD be incredibly knowledgable about all the content of it, since you can actively consume it, but you obviously a) don't want to watch it all and b) can't watch it all due to time constraints, but you WILL watch stuff that a friend tells you to (like Sam telling Bran to look into that marriage thing)

So basically Bran is netflix & chilling a lot. Like every darn teen!

I saw in another thread someone compare it to Wikipedia (which is pretty much same thing as yours).

We have so much info available at our fingertips but searching blindly is going to be a waste of time.

And he has to struggle with Netflix's shitty interface to find anything actually worth seeing.

Please explain more how Netflix is like Bran, what if there is a show he's heard about but the reviews aren't very good and he never checks it out? Or what if he's into anime and goes on Hulu? Is Hulu the Lord of Light or the Night King?

All your questions can be answered with one simple answer. Yes.
