Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read this: [link]
And I wanted to scream. I couldn't believe the were saying those are good things. She was describing hell. And hell with boring people to boot.

"Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them!"
Good episode. Well done, especially considering it was done on a TV budget. There are a couple of things I missed from how it played in the books - The chain across the bay, the even bigger fire, and "Renly's ghost", but it all ends up amounting to more or less what we got, so there you go.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, that (whitefonted stuff) really would have just amounted to more spectacle, which believe me I would have loved, but I can do without. And Loras did have the antlered helm on when he first appeared.

Art Crawl!!!
I missed those things too: they would have been nice but I also thought it was excellent.
Can't believe we only have one more episode.
Yikes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm not sure you can put more epic in 50-odd minutes.
Who was saying that the guy who plays Bronn has some folk-singing credentials in real life?
Lena Headey still managed to stand out in an episode of standouts.

I read that he was in a singing duo with Robson Green in the 90s.
Yes, she was excellent.

Because books.
Just watched -- holy shit that was action-packed. And the last moments with Cersei -- I was literally sitting there with my mouth open until they opened the door.
This season went way too quickly.

If they're following the book... there's a lot more to come! I don't know how they're going to get all of it in!!!
