4x08 (Page 2 of 3)

I think that this forum is about talking what happened in the latest episode and ideas what they think will happen next (unless if they have read the books and have hints what could happen. for these guys we have the books vs the show thread).
But we could start using spoiler tag for random ideas what could happen next so people who don't want to hear any ideas, in case they will actually come true. We can just say:
my idea what would happen next (not book spoiler)

I second that, otherwise i would always feel uneasy reading through comments what other people thought about an episode.

If you want to talk about or know about spoilers or guess what happens next, either go to the appropriate thread with spoiler warning or atleast put it behind spoiler tags, coz people me included hate spoilers and guessing what happens next can be spoilery too.

I consider everyone on this forum to be a friend. I want to talk to my friends about this wonderful show and I will continue to without spoilers. Speculations and theory are completely ON the table. The only thing certain in life is death. Speculation is a huge part of life. You know what you're getting into every time you click into one of these threads. A bunch of friends just talking about TV.

If you wanted to isolate yourself from that, what was the point of you coming into this thread? A thread filled with "cool episode" "yeah, cool episode" would get boring pretty quick.

Have a nice day, Deke. Smile.

don't sweat the petty things, pet the sweaty things

Actually with the last fight i knew who would win, but i didn't know how. it was pretty nerve wrecking to see how well Oberyne was doing.

To be fair, you have yourself to blame, this thread was titled after the episode number.!

I for one still think that spoiler tag isn't much to ask. I even think i have seen in other threads in here spoiler tags used for the very same reason. Specially in shows where non of us know what actually would happen.

Eh - no
IMHO that would ruin the fun. Of course it's ok to speculate about the next episode or the story line itself. But to be fair, if you already know the outcome, maybe because you read the books, you have to STFU!

We did often discuss if it's necessary to use spoiler tags. Common sense dictates that if you talk about things that didn't happen yet, you have to use it. That's also useful in threads about a complete season or show. But in a dedicated topic about a single episode - like this one - one can assume that you've already seen that episode. Still if you talk about the surprising end it would be nice to use a spoiler tag anyway. That was also done in this topic.

That said the special forum about the books is necessary, because those readers know mostly more about the story then what happened in the show, so they can freely speculate and rant about the show in there. But please don't spoil the story in the other topics.

As I said, if you read the books, in here you have to STFU when it comes to speculation. So I agree with you on latitude75, but I disagree with you on the general speculation in a new topic.

True, but that wouldn't  change if there is a speculation only topic
We have to have faith in the user

For me the thread is more "destroyed" by the OT talk about what to say, than some light speculation about possible outcomes of an episode.

Great, now we have two weird topics.

This will simply end (or start again), when 4x09 airs tomorrow
