Even though I've seen the episode, I fully agree with this. Spoilers shouldn't be anywhere near this thread, even if it's only about managing expectations.
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended
- Thread starter ha_rooney
- Start date
We do. Just not in the GoT thread on a football forum.
Everyone has their reasons, there is always gonna be some form of wait involved. 2-3 days is nothing.
Can confirm.
I love you
So my mate just txt me and basically spoiled some of the episode for me cause he just had to watch it, while I've purposefully stayed away from it. Grrr, what is it with people who just have to blurt out that they know something you don't about a show or film, because they've seen it or read the book before you.
It's like they just have to let you know that they knew it before you. That they have this knowledge and you don't. Fecking clowns!
Sorry, rant over.

Same here.. I am meeting a couple of friends for drinks tonight.. One of them has mentioned that they have seen the episode last night.. I have decided to download it now.. Because I don't want to risk them spoiling something..
Yeah it sucks, fortunately none of my family/friends watch GOT so I'm lucky in that regard.
The only time that I can remember spoiling something was after I'd completed Red Dead redemption, 5 of us in a party chat and I was the only one to of finished it at that time.
Someone says where they are & asks how long left & I then proceed to tell him the order of things until the end, then I end with 'then you 'insert end'. I didn't realise what I had done until I was called a cnut by 4 different people, then it sunk in.
I have stumbled upon spoilers numerous times when finding out an attractive actresses name though.
Since we're talking about spoilers, the two times i had shit spoiled on me was from two of the actors!
A random interview with charles dance were he mentioned that a fan told him of his demise!
Think he was promoting season 3 at the time.
The next was Al Swearagen, he mentioned that the Hound was coming back. So it ruined the surprise.
Two shitheads!

I inadvertently spilled Ned Stark's fate to one of my closest friends
Yep I only saw the one thumbnail with it's title but it was enough for me to shut Youtube quickly before I saw any more. Why people have to do things like that is beyond me.
This place.Just caught up with everything. Glad Clegane came back. Missed his one liners, they make shit episodes worth the hour of watching.
Trust Star India to leak the episode
And the years of waiting
By the way two things to consider before you spoil yourselves:
A. The leaked version will almost definitely be of inferior quality with denser audio
B. Unless the next episode gets leaked also (probably unlikely), then you have to wait longer for the next one. Even if it somehow does, then A applies again.
This is why I personally have decided to wait.

I ruined it for myself by watching the first 4 that got leaked a few years back.
Never again. The wait was even more torturous.

Wow, thanks for spelling it out for me pal.
A 7 day wait + a 7 day wait + the possibility of spoilers
Or
A 5 day wait + a 9 day wait - the possibility of spoilers
The second option is the better one. Not to mention the fact that coming up with theories and analysis is a huge part of the fun. Having watched the leak, I've got two extra days of that.
Amazing!
It doesn't prevent one from re-watching it in good quality.
Of course, but it's not the same when you already know what happens.
Meh, I think people bother themselves tbh. The audio was very good, the image not that bad.
Yeah, watched it a few times now. Really well done

I couldn't resist watching the leaked episode last night. All I'll say is it's a fecking masterpiece, this show. Nothing will come close to the outstanding quality achieved here for a very long time, if ever.
Fans will be buzzing for a long time, irrespective of the quality
C. Those who have seen it, will be able to enjoy it longer than others
Well, fair point but that's a reason to watch it. Not to wait.
In any case it's each to their own. I'd decided to wait and will watch it tonight. If people watched the leaked one and enjoyed it then by all means fair play. It's all entertainment so if you enjoy it you're winning. I just play it safe, that's all.
For me the key reason for not waiting was not only the stupid time it airs in the UK but because I work I wouldn't be able to see it until Monday evening which is a nightmare when trying to avoud spoilers all day... leaks are a godsend even if the quality isn't top notch.
The 'having to wait a few extra days for the next episode' argument is a poor one really. We wait almost a year for a next episode when the season ends. I'll take whatever is available right now.
Watched it. Amazing.
That constitutes a spoiler.
It makes people expect something (or not expect something, as the case may be). That always lessens the impact and removes at least some of the element of surprise.

Good point. Anyhow now that the episode is airing tonight hopefully all this can be put to bed and we can actually get to discussing the episode!
Finished watching it now. Could not resist. That was a truly special episode.Watched it. Amazing.
