Game of Thrones

The girl they got to play Tyrions' whore was an actual porn star. Sibel Kekilli

Not a cliffhanger per se (in the sense of something uncertain/mysterious), but something neat that might engender the same feelings of wanting the next episode asap.

Episode 9 was the best one yet, and I'm feeling like episode 10 will be the second best.

BTW, Episode 9's awesomeness wasn't Ned dying, it was the Tyrion scenes.

You should spoiler that shit dum-dum.

[Uriel]

You should spoiler that shit dum-dum.

Are you talking to me or Rumpy?

If you're talking to me, sorry, but I will continue to openly discuss anything from episodes that have already aired.

[Drewbacca]

Why would I be talking to Rumpy he's not the one posting massive spoilers without the tags. They're there for a reason. You honestly don't see a problem with potentially spoiling one of the biggest events in season one (maybe THE biggest) for people browsing the thread looking for impressions? Even for a short grace period for those in other timezones?

[Uriel]

No, I don't see a problem with it. This is a thread for discussing a TV show, and we should be able to openly discuss the episodes as they air. Catch up on the TV show before you come in to discuss it, just like I and any sensible person would. The tail does not wag the dog.

[Drewbacca]

How many threads has this been discussed in? Just because a thread exists to talk about the show doesn't give you the natural right to spoil it for those who are behind. Adding spoiler tags to your shit does not hinder your ability to discuss the show. You have no say in dictating someone else's schedule for watching the show. So don't be a douche, open your brain and use them.

[Uriel]

So where do you arbitrarily draw the line at? Should we spoiler-tag absolutely everything about the show for those waiting for the DVDs?

I just want to make sure I properly accommodate the discussion of a show for those who aren't watching it.

[Drewbacca]

There is a statute of limitations. 3 days after it airs is well within that time frame. And you should err on the side of spoiler tagging over not in the first place. That's the functional reason for why they're there in the first place.

[Uriel]

So what happens when the next person comes in to bitch that it's only been 4 days and they've been too busy to watch it?

[MechDeus]

Spoiler tagging events doesn't prevent discussion, I have no idea what the fuck Uriel's going on about.

That said, I think current media should have major events spoiler tagged. Sometimes people want to discuss something but were busy with friends or family during the last episode or whatever. Shit happens. Now, if this was a thread about the sequel and people were discussing the first season/movie/book, then people who want to see the original should know better than to stay out. If it's been a week or two after it aired then, again, whatever since that's plenty of time for most people who are interested to have seen an episode.

Should we spoiler-tag absolutely everything about the show for those waiting for the DVDs?

Should we spoiler-tag absolutely everything about the books for those waiting for the show?

p.s. If the comments that deserve such are done so while the show is coming out, then they'll automatically stay that way for the people waiting for the DVDs. It's like magic.
