I can see some of your other arguments, but why wouldn't they let Katniss kill Snow, and why wouldn't they let her use a long-range weapon, and why wouldn't Coin be there? I mean, those are all things that are pretty obvious to me, based on Katniss's entire role in the war and the role of publicity and image itself in the war. To let it happen any other way would be totally counter-intuitive to the meta-narrative of the books, and ICly, it would be totally counter-intuitive to the way they ran their entire propaganda machine. It's not a small detail at all, nor tenuous.

Besides which, I had forgotten this, but didn't she make it a condition of her contract that she would be the one to kill Snow?

[fuchsiascreams]

Yes, she did - but that was before Coin caused Prim to be killed, so how could that have possibly been part of the plan from the start?

And yeah, it's fair to assume that at least some of those things would have been the conditions under which Katniss would inevitably be the one to assassinate Snow, but it seems like an awful lot of things that have to go perfectly and randomly to plan before Katniss even has an OPPORTUNITY to kill Coin (in the most public and dangerous way possible). The odds of that plan succeeding seems minimal compared to some other plan to stab her in the hallway or something. Like, SO MANY RANDOM, SMALL THINGS had to fall perfectly and randomly into place by coincidence in order for Katniss to even have a chance to kill Coin (and she only has one chance, because obviously they are going to kill her if she misses, and even if she DOESN'T miss she's probably going to get killed as a result). It just doesn't make any sense, like, she would have had to have been planning this long before Prim was even killed, which was her reason for wanting Coin dead in the first place.

Uh, guys... Being the one to kill Snow was part of the conditions Katniss made Coin agree to, in order for Katniss to be the figurehead Mockingjay. What I was saying was, given the fact that Coin had already promised Snow's execution to Katniss (and the fact Coin kept all her promises no matter what Katniss did), why would Katniss think she had to agree with Coin in order to get the chance to kill Snow and turn her arrow on Coin instead?
