Littlefinger is too determined a schemer to let setbacks control his fate.

My question is, in the territory we presently are, do the writers have GRRM's gift of plotting and intrigue to conjure a few more moves on the big board for him?

Unless the TV guys come right out and say they planned X,Y or Z on their own, the assumption is the broadstrokes of the plot have been explained to them by GRRM.

Given the relative simplification they've done with the source material, I think you take Littlefinger's reaction at face value; he's in uncharted territory now.
