I think Petyr is bringing forwardOlyvar.Do people think the queen of thorns had something to do with the high sparrow capturing Cersei? That Littlefinger told her about Lancel? That doesn't make sense to me, since the High Sparrow says in his monologue to Cersei that Lancel came to them months ago, told them everything, and then Lancel steps out. Its clearly meant to show that the high sparrow knew all about Cersei and has been playing her since the beginning. Now the one thing the high sparrow doesn't have is proof that Cersei fucked jaime and the king is a bastard, but I don't think such proof really exists outside of maybe Gendry and even that is really weird proof - "his hair is black, Tommen's hair is blonde! THATS GENETICS, FELLOW SPARROWS!" is not gonna fly.
and yeah I hear a lot of "why show so many tits and not much dong" from chicks and the honest answer is simple: dudes will stop watching the show if you keep showing dong, chicks will keep watching with gratuitous tits. thats simply the way of the world, my sweet
episode 8 is clearly almost all jon in the north, with a little dany. episode 9 is gonna be cersei trials, dany+tyrion, some arya, and jon going back to castle black and samwell setting out for oldtown to be the new maester. episode 10 is gonna be dany + drogon together 4 lyfe, arya going blind?, jon ded, and cersei walk. don't see why mel has to rez jon in episode 10, it makes way more sense for viewers to think he is dead. its gonna be packed, only question is what it ends on? I think dany although last season ended with arya.
plus stannis, sansa, and dorne but all those plots seem like they are just gonna be setups for next season.
Extra points to LF if he set the whole thing up from the start. I don't know what it gets him. Maybe the whole thing was a trap and he just need the king's royal decree to march on winterfell, and wrecking Cersei gets him out of his commitment to kill Sansa Stark.
They'll also have to have a scene justifying the ploy from Olyvar's perspective though. Coming into the Sparrows to say you've been touching buttholes is bad enough. But to then make them look foolish by rescinding a statement they think they can get you to redeclare via torture all whilst backstabbing Cersei Lannister? That's being a very dangerous pawn to a very untrustworthy player (Petyr).
