Sean, is what you spoiler-fonted about this episode, or is it spoilery for upcoming events? I don't want to highlight it if it's the latter.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, it's not really spoilery for anything specific, and no actual upcoming events are mentioned. It's more of an overall comment, and should be safe for highlighting. In general, I try to avoid too much about specific future events, and I will never utter a peep about full-on HSQ moments, even in spoiler-font. It's a little amazing how this story makes those who know *want* to keep the unspoiled unspoiled. How could you ever rob someone of that much HSQ?

Mostly, I point out that one seemingly insignificant scene is much more significant than it appeared on the surface.

Poor Hot Pie. It must be a terrible burden going through life that thoroughly ignorant. Love the actor, though. He's bringing enough honesty to the role to make the character more sympathetic (not that he's unlikable in the books, just not as affable, I guess)

It gets very confusing with GoT to know what's safe and what's not. People might be spoilerfonting TV spoilers, or book spoilers, and then who knows if the show will follow the book in those respects anyway?
Conversation makes me dizzy.

It's a bit of a trick trying to talk about the show. The desire to not spoil people is there, but the desire to talk about the show and how out relates to the books is also strong, so those of us who've read them occasionally find ourselves making conversational contortions, our just refraining altogether.

Maisie Williams really is bringing it home.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ha to Bronn's "No capes!" speech. He is a delight.
And whatsername moving from WInterfell to King's Landing actually paid off. Um, narratively, that is. Perhaps not for her,
I guess no weasel soup. I can see why, but still a bit of a bummer. It's "A girl will obey" that gets to me, though it did when I read it, too.
Next episode looks to be packed to the brim with awesome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, did they skip Arya getting the coin? Maybe they get recaptured and THEN weasel soup?
Um, narratively, that is. Perhaps not for her,
Heh, yeah.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, yes. Poor Ros.
On the other hand, things in Winterfell aren't exactly moving swimmingly.
I agree about Maisie Williams.
