Please be mindful of those that haven't seen the latest episode. I had to edit some post to add spoiler tags.

Those who have yet to see the latest episode should stay the hell out of this thread.

This exactly. I think I am done with GoT after this last episode.

Hahaha, that's why I said it would be terrible if this were the last episode of the season. I'm rooting for John Snow now and

would love to see him get is fiery redhead back.

. I have not read the books. But the violence is true to the period.

I don't know if I can keep watching it even then. I was super disapointed in what happened, its almost funny when I look back at how seriously I took this show LOL.

I am still heavily invested in this show to give it up, yes I am sad and I won't lie hand over mouth moments at the end but I am hyped for next weeks finale and I like to think it karma will even out one day

I'm assuming midaeval Europe. Kings/Queens, Vlad the impaler, drawing and quartering.

1.

Yeah, I figure Kingsmoot's in. Preview for next week's episode has Asha Yara in it, I guess they're setting up the Iron Island storyline for next season.

2.

I didn't care about that. It's pretty clear they were sellswords anyway, and it could've been distracting if they kept the awful music.

3.

He went to take a leak. Presumably he's escaped. Actually quite certain of it, they've never killed off anyone who has further (important) involvement in the story.

Btw I hate the spoiler tags on this forum, why don't we use the expanded boxed ones? A fair warning, a semi-spoilerish image posted below (nothing really important) When Dany asks about Daario: tumblr_mntsmzH6Uh1qdyjvro1_250.giftumblr_mntsmzH6Uh1qdyjvro2_250.giftumblr_mntqnobZ1K1rqcgoso1_500.jpg Poor Jorah, I felt really bad for him.

That Simpson's reference is gold. Probably the best thing on the internet.

Interesting. You assume that any human civilization will progress through the same iron age.

Tell me what period Star Wars takes place?

Both are total fantasy. I didn't make an assumption, I equated the closest real period and violence to the age in the fantasy Game of Thrones. I'm not familiar with the iron age, but with regard to England and the violence which was par for the course for the age, it's probably closer to the High Middle Ages. Marrying to consolidate power and killing bloodlines to the throne also have real-world parallels. It's quite obvious the GoT world draws inspiration from aspects of actual historical periods.

Start Wars does not take place in a setting or period comparable to any real world historical age.

Uh, spoiler rules on neowin have ALWAYS been that if the episode has aired in the US, it doesn't need tags. Most of us still do it to be nice, but you're wrong here.

I never said it was a rule. An explicit rule that says "Spoilers must be discussed with spoiler tags." doesn't exist. People know that it's unfair to assume that because an episode has aired, everyone entering the thread has seen it. So many factors come into play like people from different countries or people from different time zones in North America. That's why whenever people discuss the latest episode of a show, they use spoiler tags. And that's why it's the generally accepted rule for The Media Room.

There's no issue in openly discussing a previous episode (the one before the latest one). And the same applies to movies. For example, discussing Iron Man 2 spoilers in an Iron Man 3 thread is acceptable. However, people don't openly discuss spoilers for Iron Man 3 just because it opened in one country over another.

It's a courtesy to those that haven't seen the latest episode and it doesn't take long to add the following:

Don't. There will be epic moments in Season 4. ;)

The emotional investment this show has elicited from so many is a testament to the writer(s) and the actors/actresses.

It truly is. I was hooked from the very first episode and my first shock came from seeing Ned Stark die. I was convinced that he was a main character and would somehow escape the clutches of death but I was wrong. I can safely say that I will never forget what happened in the latest episode.

Cleaned

I thought some of the pictures you guys posted were funny but unfortunately, I had to remove them. Otherwise this thread would turn into a "Game of Thrones random picture thread".
