Game Of Thrones Season 7: 30 WTF Moments

7. Arya/Sansa's Storyline Makes No Sense

There were lots of great things about the Winterfell-set storyline that saw Arya return to her family home. Seeing her fight with Brienne was awesome, as was watching Littlefinger rage against the dying of the light with one last scheme, and the slow reveal that he was probably going to die being foreshadowed as early as his first meeting with Bran.

But it still felt like the end of their story wasn't quite as fully developed as it should have been. There was too much of a leap of faith required between the penultimate meeting between Arya and Sansa, in which the former seemed to threaten her sister, and the "courtroom" scene in which Littlefinger was undone.

It felt very much like we'd missed several conversations between the sisters in order to manipulate the drama of that reveal, and it came at a cost to the logic of the characters.
