As the seventh season finale of Game of Thrones proved, no one messes with the Starks… err…at least not for the time being. The latest episode of GoT served up one of the most satisfying and downright worthy of celebrating character deaths with the demise of our very own… Petyr Baelish.
After years (I mean years) of watching Littlefinger conspire to kill, backstab, and sell-out his alliances for his own self-benefit, Game of Thrones fans finally saw his cunning behavior called out on screen.
When it appeared that Littlefinger had once again managed to manipulate Sansa Stark, sending fans heads spinning with the thought “seriously you cannot be that stupid,” we were delighted when the Stark siblings rallied together to bring justice about the walls of Winterfell. As our favorite serial-killer Arya sliced open Littlefinger’s throat, we could not help but cheer.
Well…not all of us. It turns out that Littlefinger’s character actually does have fans…yes, I’m being serious.
While many fans celebrated the shocking yet long overdue death, Hanna Loren took to Twitter to voice her defense of Littlefinger and the lack of justification Sansa had for ordering his execution….even though the Stark siblings listed his offences in whole before his death.
He wanted justice on the society for his humiliation, they looked down on him out of his poor background. He never hurt sansa.

GOT actress Sophie Turner was quick to reply, defending her onscreen character.
Nah.. just willingly sold her to the Boltons…. Who killed her family… who ended up torturing her…. but ur right.. no harm done ?

Somehow Littlefinger’s character really resonates, because Loren continued to fiercely defend him. And Turner continued to respond.
Reminder:Petyr Baelish gave back Winterfell to the Starks. He killed Joffrey. He saved Sansa and Jon. He won the battle of bastartds #GoTS7

Because Sansa asked him to (and agreed because he loves her)…. because he owed her…. for selling her to the boltons…. need I say more?

While every TV viewer can understand the pain of losing their favorite character…we can’t say we feel too bad for Littlefinger.
