I really didn’t get Littlefinger’s role in Season 7. I could understand if Sansa didn’t understand the full ramifications of everything LF did before Bran showed up, but besides the initial scene where Arya, Bran, and Sansa reunite under the weirwood tree (which I think was comparatively well done), the only framework and basis on which LF’s final scene could be constructed was D & D’s past history of taking a conclusion scene and writing back from it. That said, I did like the

(wtf season 7 LF, cont.) (2) pseudo-socratic method discussion between LF and Sansa in the final episode and how Sansa turned it on him when he was called to answer for his crimes.

As I said on Twitter, D&D actually explicitly state they wrote this plot backwards and structured it to try to “TWIST!” the audience. 

As for why LF didn’t make sense, I think it’s mostly this and that he’s probably dead by this point in the books.
