Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

Shadow, demon, ghost, evil cooch monster... does the definition of what "it" is really matter?

They are depending on the 2012 Pujols mojo? I need to place some bets on the Starks.

I'm on your side. Calling it a "shadow" isn't exactly giving away much. Although I guess that depends on how much they have gotten or will get into R'hllor. And honestly I don't think I have a very good handle on that religion even after reading the whole series a couple of times.

Yeah, I actually have no problem with people who have read the books better explaining some of the stuff that we've seen so far this season. That's not spoiling anything, it's just heightening my understanding of the world and the characters.

Jaime's not dead, of course he's still going to be in the story. How is that a spoiler?
Calling it a shadow instead of smoke is a spoiler? Really? It's not like they didn't talk about shadows immediately before she gave birth to it or that it really matters whether you call it shadow, smoke or anything else. And Sansa's boob is a spoiler now too? You guys are getting a little ridiculous. Nobody has posted any spoilers, and the OP clearly invites delving into the books a little to fill in details. There's a lot going on and the show can get confusing. Sometimes adding a little more backstory helps. It's only a spoiler if you give away future events and plots, not if you give a better explanation about something that already happened. |

I guess my point is that if someone really wants a thread that specifically discusses the show without any mention of the books, even if book discussions are limited to the point where the show is at, then that should probably be a different thread because that is pretty narrow and specific. 90% of the non-readers I know who watch the show like getting a litttle more information and back story filled in by book readers without having to go and actually read the books themselves, and the OP clearly intended for that to happen in this thread if you read the original post. I think the whiners are in the significant minority on this issue (assuming no spoilers for future events are posted). It's not like non-readers can go to the spoiler thread for that type of information because it has spoilers from all the books in it and definitely discusses future events.

The sound of the saw blade against the bone of that kids leg made me cringe.
