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?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

It's so hard to talk about this show without spoilage - saying something like "Oh, huh, in the books that plotpoint happened this other way" seems innocuous enough, until the thing you thought they skipped turns up three eps later and happening to a different character.
