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:

I agree with all of that, and I tend to err wildly on the side of caution and leave each reader to make their own decisions. You are quite correct in saying that book readers don't KNOW the answer to this, and thus it is not any more spoiler-y for us than for viewers, but book readers have far more of a basis to engage in that speculation.

Talking new season 5 characters probably isn't a good idea here either. Looking at you Hawk.

It's speculation.

Really? That was just based on published casting rumors from Entertainment Weekly, it was not really a spoiler of any kind. Most (maybe all) of those characters have been mentioned on the show already even if not yet cast and introduced. I said nothing at all about what any of them might do.

So, is it next season yet?
It shouldn't be too long a wait, right? |

The books do fill in some details here which were not made clear on the show, and did kind of establish what was going on. I'm going to spoiler tag these just in case you don't want to know, although they aren't actually spoilers at all (talking about things that have already happened on the show....):
Spoiler!
