In retrospect it was a bit convenient that the horse was standing right there, but she looked so good on it that I'm not going to quibble. Also, that blue and cream colour scheme is a really good look on her, and I find it vaguely adorable that her supporters are all colour coordinated with her.
Sansa/Margaery is one of those pairings where I do ship it, but a lot of the fic seems to strip out what I find most interesting about their dynamic. But, eh, happens in all fandoms, I suppose. But they are very, very pretty together.
Hmm, I'm not sure I'd agree that the Tyrells are particularly more moral that the Lannisters or anybody else, so much as smarter and subtler in their machinations. But better a pawn of the Tyrells than the Lannisters, yes. I understand stripping out Willas and Garlan and just using Loras from the point of view of steamlining, but it's an interesting change because the possibility of marriage to Willas sounded like a real possibility for a real future. With Loras, we already know that even if Olenna and Margaery were to succeed in spiriting Sansa to Highgarden she's not going to get what she wants.
I started warming to Ros in S2 when Varys first tried to recruit her, so I'm delighted to see her reporting to him now, even if I wish she were reporting on something more meaningful than Pod's sex life.
