PLEASE whitefont stuff from farther along in the books.
I'm sorry! I am! But... It doesn't seem that spoilery to me. I really am trying to be careful, but that one doesn't seem to be revealing anything that isn't already basically revealed in the show. I'll go back and white font it, and white font more of my comments in the future. It's best to err on the side of caution.
It's just impossible for someone who only got halfway through the second book to know, you know?
Thank you!
Speaking of this whole marrying Loras plot, I do have to say that this change bums me out a little. In the books, Loras is all, "Once the sun has set, no candle can replace it," about Renly's death, and joins the Kingsguard, happy to be celibate for the rest of his life (although, he's young).
Er...that could still happen, in which case it falls into the "whitefont possible book spoilers" category.
Yeah, I mostly leave minor details unwhitefonted for non-book readers who might be interested. I forget that others might also be reading the books too, which is silly of me. So it's an admittedly fine line to tread, and I'l be much more careful about that.

I went back and whitefonted a bunch. My comment started as being about book characters who are clearly NOT appearing in the show, and drifted substantially as it went on.
I think he suggests
Ah yes, it's coming back to me now. Given what her options could have been, Loras is a pretty good deal and she should stop complaining. He's pretty to look at and won't pressure her for sex! And I think we can all agree Highgarden is nicer than King's Landing.
Two places I would really love to see are Highgarden and Casterly Rock.
I also wish they would have actually shown us Storm's End.
Also, every scene Diana Rigg has been in has been one of the greatest scenes ever filmed. She is Off. The. HOOK!
"Grow strong!"

That's pretty much the way it's been her ENTIRE CAREER.
