It's okay to just enjoy the show/books or both, nobody cares if you've read the books 100 times and everyone else is a summer child, get a life.

I don't think it's douchey at all if readers aren't spoiling the events from those people. I threw my copy of Storm of Swords when I read the Red Wedding. Everyone I know had a pretty intense emotional reaction to it. Now, we're getting to enjoy everyone else finally getting to see what we've known was coming for a while. It's a good way to relive the gut punch you took when you read it the first time!

Also, the summer child thing isn't an insult. It's just a way of describing the un-spoiled people that are watching the show as innocent and not knowing that bad things were coming.

"War will make them old, as it did us. I pity them, because it will not last. It's a game to you, isn't it. It won't last, because they are the Knights of Summer and Winter is Coming."

bump the brakes there buddy. i knew readers that literally threw their books at their wall when the RW went down, and i enjoyed their reaction just as much. i did not say i enjoy their tears because of some secret knowledge i hoard away like a mystical treasure. no, i enjoy their tears because i blame catelyn for just about everything that happened, and never really got in with Robb. as i said in an earlier post, the saddest thing about it was Greywind. and to be quite honest, your post is the biggest douchebag thing ive seen in this thread for quite some time.
pot. kettle. black.
A+ job pal


edit - also, all you "summer children" should be thanking us for not be actual douche bags and posting spoilers all over the forums (see what i did there?)

+1 - Many of us could have spoiled it for a lot of people a long time ago. Here is the thing, every reader went through an emotional roller coaster after the red wedding. We kept reading and you know what? Just like Eddard dying the red wedding is a needed piece to the masterpiece that is asoiaf. We have gotten over it through reading and the viewers will get over it through watching.

Oh... and if you think waiting a year for an episode is bad? LOOT AT THE FUCKING RELEASE DATES FOR THE BOOKS, a year is fucking nothing. 96,98,2000... 2005............... 2011

I love this series so far because it's not predictable at all. It's not the norm in shows/books for the good guy to die. It's refreshing really.

Can't say I was a big fan of Rob, really. He let his dick get in the way of being a good lord.

Although I like Tyrionn, the Lanisters don't apeal to me either. The grandfather is a twat, the grandson is worse and a product of the sibling fuckers.

I really became interested in Brann's abilities. I hope he, snow, and Arya don't die foolishly like the rest of the starks.

please post their tears for those of us who do not know what reddit does.
