What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

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

Is it safe to assume everything whitefonted is book and nobody's putting show-specific spoilers here?

Oh, you're right, we haven't seen the coin! She has said she will unsay Jaqen's name, but she hasn't done it yet, right?

The dead guards being held up by their spears? Creepy cool.

Yes, stuff that was in the book that hasn't been on screen.

Stuff that's before where we are in the plotline, or after? I mean, if I read it am I being spoiled for the books, or likely for the show.?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The showrunners have said that they might be mixing up timelines of events, so just because we're past it in the books doesn't mean it won't turn up later.

Okay, I'll skip it all then.
