But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There have been times when he had several different accents within a single sentence.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The first things I'd seen him in he had a thick Irish accent and then a serviceable general American one.

But if people can change faces, why not?

Someone remind me--did Arya's wolf get killed? Or it still off in hiding?

Because books.

We haven't seen Arya's wolf since she shooed off back in S1.

Hmm. I wonder if that will be a thing. From what I've learnt about GRRM, it should be, shouldn't it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In the books it's strongly implied that Nymeria is still out there in the wild somewhere. Bran/Summer are kind of telepathic with all the other wolves and can sense her in their dreams.

There were random backgroundy people talking about the danger from wolves in the region for a while, though I think maybe not since the Red Wedding. Because that is juicier gossip.

hip deep in pie

Yeah, this season I could swear that he sounds different.

His first scene back he was full-on Irish, and I was like. "Wait, what? I didn't think Littlefinger was Irish before. Is my memory that bad?" It's been drifting around the British Isles since then.

People have been commenting on his wandering accent since the first season.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm not completely convinced he has a long-term goal other than get everything he didn't have as a child

This is wild to me. He is potentially risking his life at every turn.

But you'd also be risking your life just standing around minding your own business in Westeros. Might be riskier, even.
