LONDON -- It's not easy showing up late to the party. Especially when it relates to Game of Thrones. Firstly, there are all of the spoilers to avoid from your colleagues and friends who've watched every single episode and can't wait to spill the beans.

And, then there's the isolation when you finally do catch up and you want to share ALL your brand new thoughts and feelings. Mindy Kaling -- star of The Office and The Mindy Project -- fell behind in her viewing too. And, now that she's managed to catch up, she's got some thoughts to share.

Thankfully, people did want to engage with her. Which proves there's hope yet for those of us who'll also be coming late to the GoT viewing party.

Of course, she had some thoughts on Cersei Lannister.

And, she pretty much shares everyone's sentiments about Rickon.

Mindy's favourite characters are Cersei and Daenerys Targaryen, with a few others thrown in for good measure.

Mindy also shared that she and Game of Thrones scriptwriter David Benioff are pals.

Better late than never, Mindy.
