I understand that, but he just said it was good. How is that giving anything away? We have people do that all the time in movie threads! Have you read ANY of the Star Wars threads?

And no, I don't read a lot of movie threads. Those seem quite a bit different to me since hype is everywhere for movies compared to a TV show that makes every effort to keep knowledge of the episode top secret. |

He said it was a good episode. That's not a spoiler. Panties are getting way too bunched up into sandy manginas in here. |

If you think its a travesty of your freedom that talk of pirated episodes be put in a spoiler tag in this thread for 3-4 days, then thats your issue.

1. Good episode 2. Contains information that is going to spoil something for book readers. 3. Some things are revealed, but new question marks are raised (granted, you could probably say that about any episode) I'm not saying those are going to ruin the day or anything, but at what point do you decide it goes into a spoiler tag? It's a grey area, so the logical conclusion is that ANYTHING about the leaked show should go in spoiler tags. |

OK, but take a look at those: 1) opinion regarding the overall quality of the episode, not a spoiler 2) opinion regarding how people may react who are still reading the books, not a spoiler 3) vague nonsense that applies to every new episode of every television show ever, not a spoiler |

1. Plot lines generally advance in a satisfying, but not unpredictable direction 2. There are no major battles 3. There are no surprise deaths to major characters If I'm wrong, I'll retract my criticism of that even minor spoilers give a lot away. |

If Cersei dies, it fits criteria #3 as a spoiler. But many might consider that a good episode. Or those who love Ramsay might be upset that he gets killed because he brings so much fun chaos to the show, where others might call it a good episode to see him fed to his own dogs.

But seriously, people are this angsty about a request to put it in spoiler tags? Is it really such a burden? Ready for 7pm to roll around. |

Which I rectified by taking the word "spoilers" out of the thread title.
