Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Like, you get the impression Cersei had to figure out how to play the game all on her own, hence the barely concealed bitternes over not being a man, despite outward claiming to not *need* to be a man.
The Tyrells, on the other hand, seem to take great pains to make sure their women know how to play the game as well as the men, and to think they need women just as much as men in order to compete. You get the sense that Margaery was *raised* to play the game, rather than having to figure it out from watching her father and brothers. And it's very interesting that the Tyrells don't seem to keep a lot of secrets from each other -- knowing full well what Loras' sexuality is, and not caring about it, for example.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just typed a whole long thing and then realized I can't because spoilers.
Next week's ep has Tyrell-y goodness in it, though.

I suspect not posting, rather than white-fonting spoilers, was probably the better choice, even though le nubian and I would surely love to read what you wrote.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's always the spoiler thread.

One of my few niggling little nit-picks with the show is that Ghost makes too much noise.
(Yes, I am rewatching the episode again for the third time since Sunday, why do you ask?)

Also? The sacked and burning Winterfell in the title sequence makes me sad.

SO SAD. Poor Winterfell.
I am still holding out hope for Starks Triumphant by the end of the series with Winterfell rebuilt. But since I know how little GRRM values karma, I also expect all of the Starks to die, probably even some obscure Stark cousins we won't meet until book 7.
