Murat Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have no idea to be honest ... but I guess I will not be able to resist.Whats with you, will you watch or wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBastardofBluegrass Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm going to watch, everything will be spoiled, regardless, because of twitter/facebook. As far as the show spoiling the books, well, they're becoming two separate mediums now, anyway. I'm sure there will be something huge from WOW spoiled, but I can live with that. Viewing and enjoying something new on TV won't force me to enjoy reading the novels less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grail King Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Watch of course, then when the book comes out look for the difference and see if clues from both coincide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushum Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't use twitter or facebook and I cancelled HBO yesterday. I have lost hope for ADOS but I will at least wait until I read WOW before watching any more of the series. I would like to be surprised by at least half of what is left.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't mind spoilers. I'm mad because Aegon, Arianne, Quentyn, Jon Connington and several Greyjoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Maybe watch. Only the Stannis', Davos' and Doran's scenes tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think I will, though I'm starting to see the show and books are increasingly two different stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Martell Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 If I watch it it'll be after the while season was broadcast, just like I did with the fourth. I'm kind of it the process of deciding that the show isn't worth my nerd rage energy, though. All I seem to do is bitch about it. We'll see how a feel next spring. And I doubt the quality of the show's "spoilers" anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Thrones Reference Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I lack the patience necessary to wait for TWOW to come out, so I'll definitely watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickStormborn Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I didn't even watch all of season 4 because of the decline in quality, so I can't imagine I'll watch season 5 in its entirety. I'm interested in how they handle some of my favourite scenes in the series, however, so I will probably watch the beginning and final episodes, or maybe just specific scenes. If TWoW is still not published when season 6 airs, I will most likely not watch any episode. At the moment, I'd rather be spoiled second-hand waiting for the books than watch the show and get second-rate material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wedding Cake Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'd enjoy seeing some maybe spoilers. Gotta do something waiting for the next book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dovahkiin Snow Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I will wait to hear about each episode, starting with episode 1, from a trusted friend. If he says "no spoilers" I will watch and go from there. As soon as a spoiler drops, I will stop watching until TWOW. I'm still hoping the book comes out before season 5, anyway.

Hodor's Dragon Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Avoiding spoilers is a lost cause. And while it's true that the show and books are increasingly divergent, so far they've been quite faithful to major events in the series, so I find it impossible not to consider major changes as spoilers. To me, the most major change so far was the omission of Tysha and the subsequent falling out between Tyrion and Jaime. I take that as a spoiler that Tyrion & Jaime will never see each other again. I'm not in the "4th season sucked" crowd by a long shot. I thought it was significantly better done than any previous season, with higher production values, dialogue and direction. To be sure, some of the new, non-book material (Craster's Keep) sucked and was pointless, but some of it was quite good. The Brienne-Sandor scene was one of the highpoints of the season because that scene was written by somebody who knew those two richly-realized characters well and stayed true to their cores. Really, there's tremendous potential for riffing off all of Martin's deep characterization; this thing can be dragged out as long as need be, so I hope they don't rush it and spoil the ending. But hell, they've got 2 whole books not covered yet. I really don't see any need to race ahead and not only cram then in but throw in stuff from WOW. I very much hope that doesn't happen. Take your time, HBO, you've got a huge hit on your hands, let it simmer a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kienn Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Practically a completely different story so not really worried about spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dya of Oldstones Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have different expectations from the show and the books, so I plan to watch Season 5. Most of the potential spoilers I see may be from Sansa at the end of the season, or possibly something from the Riverlands, since we have had no sneak preview chapters there. It still looks like most of it will be taken up with aFfC and aDwD arcs, so I don't expect anything spoilery until late in the season if at all.

oopeed Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Nope, I just stopped watching after D&D graphically abused poor Hodor in season 4.Also they fucked up Nym's and Hotah's casting, my main reasons to watch season 5, so I guess I'll be cancelling my HBO suscription once "the leftovers" ends next week.
