That's weird, why do you guys do that? Why don't you want to know more about the show? It doesn't usually spoil anything but gives enough to tease you
do you...
do you not watch movie trailers either?

I mean, I get it.
But the previews for following weeks give almost no information. The clips go by so quickly, you don't even have time to register what might be happening on screen. I'm not marking them as spoilers. If Psy wants to go behind me and do it to, that's his deal. If only Shlup were still around!
I tend to avoid movie trailers for films I already know I want to see, yeah. It's about not knowing what to expect. You guys are already putting together theories about things and that means you go in with expectations and lose a bit of the shock value over things that can happen. It's a personal choice. I mean I can't understand why people would want to spoil things about the next show for themselves. Being impatient for information and sacrificing the impact of a show for the sake of theorycrafting, maybe? I dunno. But whatever floats your boat is cool, I just prefer to be able to discuss GoT with you guys without compromising my enjoyment, and spoiler tags is the easiest way out for that. I like to talk about what was, and guess what will be, without having some massive clues shoved in my face. I mean if a movie stopped half way through and gave a teaser for the next half of the film right in the middle of it I'd be pretty annoyed about that too. I just want to watch it in the order the director wants, not so much the marketers.
If you refuse to spoiler tag such things I'll leave it to staff to decide whether or not that's okay but personally I think it's pretty inconsiderate to not do so given that it's really bloody easy to tag and takes nothing away from those that actually don't care about teaser trailers while still allowing those of us that do to partake in the thread without issue.
Wait....
do you guys not want episode titles either? Cause the episode title gives away a location int he next episode too
Also also, they have new directors for each episode so the director wants to cut if off when they do soooo
Also also also, yeah theorycrafting is half the fun!
Well
I mean
Next time on BoB's post: He may complete his retort!
I literally don't care.
ALSO, this thread is 95% theorycrafting, why tf are you even coming in here if that ruins the show for you? I genuinely do not understand why you even read it or post in here.
Theory crafting is fun but yeah I don't read the titles for episodes (although not by intent, I've legit never thought about it). Why would I? I just... watch the show. D: I wonder if I've ever gone out of my way to read the episode titles for any show.
So you just... wait... and not think about the show or what has happened and not want to know more? I guess it's hard for me to get why you wouldn't want more info when you enjoy something
I like the theory crafting. I just don't like being told what is coming in the next show. :p 99% of the theory crafting in this thread has nothing to do with teasers. Almost everything in this thread is to do with the aired episodes and reactions to them.
Well, that and the 500 pages of "hey you should tag that" we've gone through. :D
Liar. Half this show/thread was book readers being like
"oh hey guys :D :D guess what :D :D"
until the last two seasons
I don't know if I can explain it in a way that someone who doesn't like doing it would understand. Likewise I don't think you could explain why you would want to watch the teasers, especially if they supposedly give you so little information. I'll try anyway!
I just really like going into an episode with zero knowledge of what's gonna happen, who's story I'll be told, who will meet who, which plotline will resurface, etc. I want to go "ooh, wow" during the episode and ride that feels train the second we see a plotline pick up. I guess it increases my levels of excitement and immersion when I see us move to a new location and I wasn't just waiting for it to happen, but am actually just thrown into it.
Just more enjoyable for me (and others) that way. I can understand the want to talk about things though. Eventually I read a bunch of the bookstuffs and I've enjoyed glimpsing into the book spoilers on occasion. I guess it also ties into those who enjoy discussing a whodunnit movie while it's going on and those who like everyone to shut the hell up so they can get really into it. Just different strokes for different folks. I'm very much the "shut up I'm watching you're ruining this" kinda guy when watching films I've never seen before but I've found it interesting when I've already seen it and two people who haven't are actively discussing it as they watch it with me.
