That it shows you one thing that you haven't seen in so long that you've forgotten about isn't bad enough?

Generally you'll probably get more enjoyment out of TV shows if you avoid previews and recaps.

Some people can get really upset by previews/recap and one especially wasn't subtle at all.

I originally posted it to warn people to not watch the recap if they were one of those people (hence the sirens). In hindsight, including the link was probably a bad idea.

All I want to say here is I just think people would enjoy the episode better if they didn't watch the recap. (The Previously On that will air before the episode)

Yeah, as a bookreader, it doesn't outright spoil anything but it super telegraphs all but maybe one of the major plotlines. Talking about it probably makes it worse but since it's out of the bag, best to let everyone know who cares.

I mean, I never watch the previews/recaps so I have no frame of reference why this one is worse than any other ones or whatever. I was curious what it could possibly have been to warrant siren emoticons and pleads to delete posts. Basically a bunch of the poo poo I expected to be addressed in the final episode of this season had recap scenes, plus that one character (that was kinda spoily). If that one character is what people are flipping poo poo about, OK. Just wondering if I missed some critical foreshadowing.

My internet was really lovely these last few weeks so I was wondering if I had missed something in s04e08 that I would have seen if HBOGO's quality hadn't been run through a shredder: Was it obvious that the Mountain died too or was he clearly alive?

Please no spoilers/hint-wink-poo poo, just tell me if such a thing was visible or if it was just inconclusive.

Going by the episode alone I would say it's inconclusive. Even if he's alive he probably isn't doing too well.

He was shown getting stabbed full on in the abdomen from a running charge, and does the COUGH UP BLOOD thing immediately after. Dude is dead as gently caress, It just turns out horrible gut wounds don't kill you as fast as getting your brains smashed in.

The HBO website is not the b**k, in fact it should be considered an extension of the show if that's what your tits are rashy about. Doesn't take a rocket scientist anyway, let's see... VIPER, experienced with POISON, several shots of spear fiddling/polishing. All from the context of the episodes.

The same kind of poo poo was done here with the Olenna/Sansa necklace thing, so I see your point but the fact is we all should have picked up on that anyway and when someone finally says it out loud it's all "AAHH SPOILER"... we are here to discuss the details, are we not?

My problem is basically when people who have knowledge of the books come and decide to confirm any speculation. Let us show watchers just watch the show without trying to coyly hint what is going to happen next.

Are you seriously stating that because the HBO website pointed out the spear was poisoned that's a spoiler? I was more or less laughing because I thought he'd use poison daggers, and was shocked at getting something half-right for once.

Plus the only reason I brought it up is because people were insisting the Mountain could be alive after getting a giant spear slammed through his chest, vomiting up blood, and collapsing immediately after his last act. They say "In TV they're not dead unless you saw a body" and seriously, even if you took the poison fluff out, he is so loving dead.

ED: As to it's importance on future events... it's not as if he's going to be using it anymore so I'd say none. I'd be shocked otherwise.

The Duggler posted:

Big difference.

And given the guy who uses it is super, mega, ultra dead.. it's literally a non-issue. The only reason it was put on the site in the first place is because it was a neat detail that the show didn't have time to address, or cut the explanation from, but thought it would be a neat bit of backdrop info. I can't help but agree.

Now if this poison spear suddenly makes jack-all difference episodes from now, I guess I'll feel like a tool, but I would say I'm 99.99% positive it will never, ever be seen again except at a prop auction.
