what's the point in locking the thread for four weeks? As opposed to locking it for two days before the finale airs. Big difference.
get over it, you've read the books anyway and shouldn't post in there, what concern is it to you?

The point of locking it for 4 weeks would be exactly the same as locking it now. You've got a possible spoiler on your hands now but for 4 weeks the whole episodes were known. It's not a big difference. This is a forum where people are discussing stuff and you're denying them that.
What concern is this of mine? I don't condone these kind of actions. They're over the top. The finale is coming and you lock the thread when it will be the most busy (bar after an episode). What does it matter if I post there or not. I'm not a woman but I care that they get paid less. I'm not in a wheelchair and I'm not deaf but I care that people who are don't have to front all the money the need in order to live a decent life.
I can safely say I never expected to see locking a thread on an internet forum for two days being compared to women's and disabled people's rights. Well done.
I'm not denying anyone anything, by the way. I asked in there first if people wanted it locked, nobody objected, and the ones who did respond agreed.
ffs
Yea, good piece of democracy there. Ask in the morning when most people are working and those who don't are a sleep. Two people respond. 20 minutes later thread is locked.
well, it wasn't me who locked it, and I'm pretty sure plenty of people read the thread at that time. I also haven't seen anyone, bar you, object since.
Now go away and help a disabled person or something.
Thank God I read the books long before the series even went into production. I don't have to worry about anyone spoiling anything.
Not that I particularly care, but you asked wibble to lock it. Does it really matter that you didnt lock it yourself?
I didn't ask him to. I don't need his permission to lock a fecking thread. I asked him his opinion on the matter, clearly.
You expect people to start new threads about other threads being locked? I don't. I mentioned it here, one person agree with me and others don't care since they don't post in that thread.
This current series has been a lot different than the books. Plenty of things to be spoiled. A news outlet spoiled that Mance got burnt before I watched the episode.
I think with book readers we still appreciate the show even though we now what will happen. There is still an element of anticipation as to how everything will be translated in the TV shows. Spoilers or no spoilers I have still been amazed at every single episode.
But using that as a defense is weird though, I didnt lock the thread, am just the guy who suggested locking it. Not much of a difference, if any at all.

I'm not trying to be defensive. I would have locked it eventually if there were no objections anyway.
Till next season ...
Im hoping he gets Winds of Winter out before then. Last book will be spoiled a bit though.
I read them all one after the other when the first season came out. It was nice to read them in one big chunk.
Dance of Dragons came out about a week after i finished the book before so good timing
I finished 1-4 within a month then I had to wait a while for A Dance with Dragons. Yeah the series Kinda hints on what to expect in The Winds of Winter. I think I'll read the book before the series airs hopefully there is enough time between the two. I just can't wait I'll read faster than waiting for the next episode to airTill next season ...

I've posted in the show thread. No speculation, I nerded out about real life swords and I've talked specifically about individual scenes.
Doesn't really matter now does it. The show has passed the books in all but one area. After this episode tonight the moratorium can be lifted.

On at 2am, isn't it?
Yeah.
Thoroughly enjoying the other thread
Senor just posted casting info. What a dick move.
Ooops, gonna delete it now.Senor just posted casting info. What a dick move.

Saw this quote from Harington: "But I’ve been told I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m not coming back next season. So that’s all I can tell you, really."
Thought about posting it to counter Senor's spoiler a bit but worried I'd get lynched too.
Yep, I just read it on Twitter and thought it added substance to the theory Jon isn't really dead. It isn't the end all and be all but it is a huge spoiler regardless.You probably weren't thinking, but it's technically a massive spoiler.
Where's that been said? I hope that's not true.

Harington and Weiss are probably lying mind.
If you're feeling brave you could post it in the other thread to counter your first spoiler...
He's very unconvincing in that article...http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/1...w?hootPostID=02d276e6ecc01e293e82776b799aa8f1

Yeah, I should, shouldn't I? I mean what's the worst that can happen? I'm already waiting for my ban...

Trying to spoil your own spoiler. Risky move but it just might work.
I thought most of the scenes were great individually, but it was probably the most disjointed episode of the entire show. It's not easy to make things flow with so many different storylines, but they did a much better job of it in previous seasons.
S1 > S4 > S2 > S3 > S5
ASOS > AGOT > ACOK > ADWD > AFFC

The episode felt rushed. Everything except Cercei.
I think the Arya-Trant scene was a metaphor for what the writers did to Stannis.
Girlfriend had only "what the feck" to say about her going blind. I'm sure that scene didn't make any sense to the viewers.
The silly stuff: A giant light emitting from Sansa's tower place. Cuts to Sansa, it's only a small candle. Must be a LED candle.
Stannis' army is the most inept army I've seen. 20 people sneak in and ruin everything. Then half the army manages to take all of the horses without Stannis knowing until he decided to leave.
The giant battle starts way out in the open and Stannis is in the front with his army completely surrounded. That cuts to him somehow in the woods and the only one left when Brienne conveniently shows up and steals another kill (yey, go women!).
Dany somehow doesn't hear a massive horde of hundreds, if not thousands, of horses. They just sort of sneak up on her.
Olly.
Doran allowing that Snake to kiss Myrcella on the mouth, knowing that they use poison all the time. That scene capped off a wonderfully chapter of TV Dorne but not before the sand snakes got in one line totally in sync with their portrayal thus far. At least they are consistent.
I know believe Varys has been Tyrion's figment of imagination this whole time. Sort of like the faceless men, but he just sees Varys' face in others and is talking to himself.
It's amazing how you can have material and whilst reading it you never think about silly stuff like this happening but put it on screen and it's chock full of just outright stupidity that Hollywood is known for, not HBO.

And oh, Balon is still alive.

Also releasing this article so fast after the ep seems like they're trying too hard. Clearly lying. They do start filming season 6 in July so we'll find out soon if Kit is filming in Northern Ireland.
Actually that was better then I thought it was gonna be. I assumed Olly was just going to do it alone but guess not.
Any chance Stannis is still alive given we didn't actually see him die?
I'm betting he isn't. We didn't see it happening and everything Brienne has set out to do so far has failed.
He's totally dead

I was...underwhelmed.
I haven't read any posts in here just in case, but just posting this because it makes me excited to say the least. After reading about Azor Ahai, the theory(s) etc I believe that Jon Snow will be back.
http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/06/jon-snow-dead-game-of-thrones-azor-ahai-melisandre-warg
Remember the look the Night King gave Jon when he first saw him. He knows what's up. Jon Snow is Azor Ahai!

I thought the Cersie and Jon scenes were well done on the whole but the rest was just shite. Good luck in keeping Jon's lack of a death a secret.
Fairly obvious now that burning Shireen was just purely for shock purposes. Stannis must be shittiest commander in the history of anywhere. Gets done by 20 good men (lol) who can apparently sneak up to a big camp where none of the tents are guarded. Then burns his heir because it snows too much which leads to his men abandoning him (shock horror, no one gives two shites about Rhilor). No one could have seen that coming! I'm almost glad he's dead. Dumb and Dumber can't feck up his character anymore.
Dorne storyline makes no sense at all. I don't understand how any one could have written this out and thought this was a good idea or how it was in any way shape or form better than what was in the books. There's not a single character they haven't fecked up in this storyline aside from Bronn who doesn't do much anyway.
They've touched on all the key points in the Dany storyline from the books, which I suppose one should be grateful for, but have managed to take them all out of context. I don't know why she married that guy in the show. How did that help her out? She could have just opened the pits and nothing would have changed plot wise. And the dragon mounting scene was plain weird.
Sansa-Theon storyline doesn't make much sense either. A candle in the window to signal for help? You couldn't make that shit up.

Sansa & Theon's Thelma & Louise moment
Reek suddenly(without any build up), deciding to become Theon again and help Sansa Ellaria killing Myrcella(in a very obvious way that could be traced back to her) when a heir to Dorne has just been given to KL.
I don't mean to be one of those book readers, but this season has been a shit show.

I was expecting this to be the worst season so far given the material they were working with but even still it has been surprisingly poor.
It isn't even the big plot points or changes from the book that annoy me, more the small needless irritations.

Mixed final episode. A lot of it was better than what we’ve gotten this season, but there was still some baffling stuff in there.
Battle of Ice was disappointing, mainly because one of the most hyped up and anticipated battles in the series didn’t even happen. This version of Stannis, someone who was defeated and seemingly out of his depth and went into battle accepting his loss, could’ve been interesting…if it wasn’t for the fact that the books have a much better version. Stannis is supposed to be one of the best tacticians in Westeros. Instead, we get this dude. Basically listened to Melisandre relentlessly, and didn’t even bother to scout ahead at all before his attack to try and gain a tactical advantage. Ramsay wins again, because he can do no wrong.
In Dorne, instead of getting Fire and Blood, we get Bronn getting told that guys want bad pussy. Ffs, someone get Areo Hotah to chop the Sand Snakes in half.
Jaime’s scene with Myrcella was a little bit better. Poison was something I could see coming, but it was a big character moment as one of his kids accepts him as their dad. Hopefully this’ll give him a bit more edge next season.
Meereen was fun. They’ve managed to make that more enjoyable than in the books with Tyrion, Jorah and now Varys all being there. Interested to see what Tyrion does.
Did anyone else think Daenerys was in Westeros, like the Vale or something? I thought she was for a moment.
Are Sansa and Theon dead?!
Cersei’s scenes were great. Captured the whole humiliation aspect of the book perfectly, and Lena Headey gave a really good performance as well.
And feck Olly! They shouldn’t have teased Benjen like that in the preview, since we were all going to fall for it. I’m kinda surprised they had Alliser leading the anti-Jon band, but then apart from Olly, they hadn’t really built up any dissenting characters.
