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!"

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

every scene Diana Rigg has been in has been one of the greatest scenes ever filmed.

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?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Blood and Sand is the original series, Gods of the Arena is the subsequent prequel, then you have Vengeance, which follows Blood and Sand (with the new Spartacus actor), then War of the Damned is the final season.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, I think the show is with me in shipping Arya/Gendry. And shipping the FUCK out of Brienne/Jaime. I want those two on a boat out of Westeros because I am increasingly coming to think that the whole game of thrones is beside the point (between DRAGONS! and WALKERS!), and the smart money is in getting the fuck out of King's Landing. Go south, go across the water, get out of there.

Also, Jesusfuck, Stannis.

And what a beautiful demonstration of the difference between Cersei and Tyron.

'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"

Robb would be so much better off if he decided to cut his losses, claim that two dead Lannisters somewhat makes up for a dead father, go home to rebuild Winterfell and sit out the Winter. Sunk cost fallacy seems to be driving his actions at this point.
