I wonder about this. Most people at the banquet were killed by having their throats slit, it seemed like Robb's wife was deliberately stabbed repeatedly in the womb, as if it was to kill the baby. And earlier during the episode, when Walder Frey was looking at her, he said something like "I know exactly what is going on beneath a dress" or something along those lines, he was being crude alongside that so we obviously assumed he meant 'you have a nice bum lol', but seeing how everything panned out, I wonder whether he'd guessed she was pregnant and instructed his man to kill her that way.
Did Lord Bolton the cnut know about the baby? Maybe he might have said something.
Isn't this essentially the Newbie thread though, and the book thread then just acts as the other one? I don't see why the book people can't talk about the show in the book thread.
Good point, but I don't know whether anyone close to Robb knew, not even sure Catelyn knew... I can't remember, but if Bolton knew, indeed that would definitely clear things up. However, even if it was a secret, I think the Frey suggestion about knowing what goes on beneath a dress is good evidence that he had guessed.
I thought Catelyn knew since she saw/heard them talking about naming their boy Eddard.
Also, another thing to bring up. What are the rules on the show being aired? As in, it's obviously aired the day before in the US, but is it talked about here? I intentionally avoided this thread yesterday, as unfortunately it was already spoiled for me that something big was going to go down, but it would be nice to know if it's safe to enter just to talk about things before an episode.
Wibble's spoiler rules say that once it is aired anywhere in the world, it is fair game to talk about.

I don't understand people opening this thread before watching anyway. What were they expecting to read?

It happens when you forget it's being being aired.
I'm going to ask Wibble to change his spoiler policy to one that suits me.
To be fair, it shouldn't be hard to remember. It comes out on the same day every week. In fact, I think it's only ever aired on Sundays.
If it's that much of a problem, just google when the episode is out, which makes infinite more sense than opening this thread without knowing. I use this website for everything:

We should have two separate threads for each episode - one for book readers and one for non book readers. We should then have pre air date and post air date threads for these episodes. People who want to discuss the upcoming episode must post in pre air date. People who want to discuss the aftermath, in the post air date thread. This again would need to be separated into book readers and non book readers. We should also have a thread (again divided as per book readers) to discuss the episode live, just in case some poor sod wanders in at the wrong time.
So if I've done the math right, that's 60 threads.
To be fair, it's just a human element that makes us humans. We can forget. And I'm sure we'll forget in the future. TV shows are the last on your mind when there are more pressing issues. Then again, perhaps I deserved it. Mea culpa. Or something.
Yeah, I can understand how it happens, but what I mean is it just means more awareness is needed, it's not a reason to change anything.
I've long stopped posting anything related to the plot, I don't see anything wrong with discussing how good an episode was or moments that happened in it though, but you are right, book readers who actually discuss the plot and tell you about things and history from the books without you actually asking them should be fecked out of this thread and thrown on ignore.
I actually think Cina's idea's good. And it's hardly something that will change the policy. A simple 'airing tonight, possible spoilers'.
There's no more space in the thread title. It's now about the air date vs ban warning.
It's not a bad idea, it's just unnecessary. Why can't people just remember it airs every sunday? If for some reason you do forget when it airs, check one of the million websites that tell you, rather than the only thread where spoilers are 100% going to be mentioned if it has aired?
I just can't see the logic. You forget when the episode airs, which is fine, but instead of using a site which has one single purpose - to tell you the air dates of new shows - you would check a forum which is weekly riddled with people spoiling things about said show?
I do agree the book readers shouldn't post here though, or at least they should have just 1 warning, and if that's broken they can't post again, as people like Sol and Jveezy have been fine.
Also, if the other thread isn't meant for book readers to discuss the show, what is it actually for? I was under the impression that was it's purpose (I haven't opened it), which makes a lot more sense then the book readers posting about the show in here.
