Okay and yup, he’s a skeevy dude.
But I like him.
:D
This is one of my favorite scenes from the series. It is unique to the series, but it is so good and so well acted by Aidan Gillen. it blows my mind every single time I watch it.
It illustrates perfectly how calculating this man is, and it shows that he has a greater understanding of events than anyone else. And it shows that if chaos is indeed a ladder, then he is the most experienced climber of ladders, because he started below the first rung and has come very far, while others, by birth right, start much higher, and usually end up dead.
Littlefinger is a major player.

And this is my favorite piece of music related to the show, and the picture that accompanies it is very telling of where Littlefinger’s mind is at.
