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.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Er...that could still happen, in which case it falls into the "whitefont possible book spoilers" category.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Compassionately intolerant
I'm not a consistent GoT watcher, but I pay attention to the comments here and will wander into an episode based on what you all say.
I was fascinated to see Diana Rigg...being a lifelong Avengers fan...and loved her role in this last episode. And, as mentioned above, her "Grow Strong" speech was priceless.
I have to say though, all I could think about her costume was that she must have been a Bene Gesserit in another life. It threw me right out of the story!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There was something bugging me about her costume. Now I know what it was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that Kettleblack thing was confusing the shit out of me. I'm not paying as close attention as I could, and I thought I'd missed something. It's safest just to whitefont it if it hasn't happened onscreen. Hell, how the fuck do we know they won't do it later, somehow else?
Speaking of spoilers that have been out forever--I just watched the wrong Spartacus first, I'm thinking. Gods Of The Arena said season 1 on it, but the ending makes no sense. Should I ask what happened (I didn't recognise the voice either) or just move onto watching the next episodes. And then...which episodes are next?
