Well he did have that bisexual arc going - which was a little bit ramped up for the show.

They did the same thing last year - I suppose they really want to end the current season in June. Not sure why.

Reading the title of a future episode is super hard. I don't think my brain could handle it.

I think S&L needs to start a 3rd thread for (TV talk only with no mention of episode names or HBO's scenes from next week's episode or any speculation of what might happen next week, because it may be right and everything is a spoiler).

The Grantland recap with back stories did not touch on who was fighting who in the trial by combat, because they promise no spoilers:

If they promise no spoilers, all they're obligated to do is to not tell you who is fighting for certain. They're allowed (whether they did or didn't is irrelevant) to speculate based on information obtained from the show. All MB and I have done is to speculate. I haven't read the book. I haven't sought out spoilers. All I know is that our speculation is correct, because we're not fucking retards.

This. I had no idea, because I don't read ahead to the episode titles because those in themselves are spoilers. If I had read the name "red wedding" last season, I probably could have guessed what was going to happen. Like I said before, anybody who posts shit that ruins the show for anyone, will be kicked out of this thread.

Regardless of whether I am stupid for not being able to put shit together like some of you (cough MB who has already read the books), it's really not that hard to just NOT fucking comment on things that might be spoilers to some. If you want to guess at what is happening, fine. But do it based on what we have already seen, not what may happen in the future based on a trailer, a title, something youve read, etc.


It's really not that hard if you guys don't want to be dicks about it. I know I am QQing hard right now, but I personally thought Tyrion's friend (the guy who is currently training jaime) or Jaime was going to be his champion. Now my theories are ruined. So gfy all of you who ruined them and proved me wrong :cry:.

It's not speculating if you took it from the title of an episode. To speculate, you can't have any concrete evidence. The title "The Mountain and The Viper" with context is pretty fucking concrete. That's why some of us choose not to look up titles, they act as spoilers.

Speculate all you want. But those who have read the books telling us who it is is not speculation.

Then Blame HBO. If it came on your TV in 3 weeks with that title in your DVR, would you rage bc omg spoilerz?
And if you can't deduce who it was without the help of the title, then I feel bad.

And anyone who would not have seen the Looney Tunes arrow point down on Oberyn last episode probably shouldn't be watching the show. No one has said who loses, or the fallout, that would be true spoilers. It isn't a spoiler to state the obvious.
