In the end, all of the Spider's whispers finally catch up with him. Although it's clear that Varys is 100 percent correct in saying Jon Snow should probably take a stab at ruling the seven kingdoms over Dany (see the most recent episode for proof), he does commit treason against a short-tempered woman with a dragon. That being said, why would a character as smart as Varys ever do such a thing? Like Tyrion, he's always been an integral part of maintaining the balance of power in Westeros, so we find it incredibly hard to believe that he decides to just strut up to Jon and make his intentions clear (risking being executed for treason in the process, which he had to have known was a consequence).
For a character who's stirred up so much sh*t over the years, we don't buy it. He would've used his words to work behind the scenes like he always has, influencing others to do the dirty work for him. It's a shame that a complex and interesting character like Varys seems to lose all sense, gets ratted out by Tyrion, and is promptly killed by Dany's dragon all within the first 15 minutes of the penultimate episode. What a waste.
