Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

[Shlup]

Okay, I get why they made Talisa just for the show now--they were like "Ahaha, you book readers think you're prepard for the Red Wedding? How about some baby stabbing, huh?? Muahaha!" Brutal.

And this why I (and perhaps many more) read the books before watching the show.

Yes, that is why people read these books. Because they figured one day there would be a show about this series and they didn't want to stumble upon spoilers on the internet.

True. I started reading after Ned's death was spoiled for me. Though when I read it it seemed so ridiculous I assumed the guy was joking.

Knowing that was going to happen didn't make it hurt any less.

Seriously. My stomach was in knots the whole time.

[The Man]

I'm pretty sure Del was being sarcastic, but there are worse reasons to read the series than to avert the potential of being spoiled. This way you won't run across the spoilers about how Snape kills *insert character here*.

[Miriel]

That was just smurfing tragic. I can't even.

I wasn't spoiled so it was just like WHAT DA smurf, the whole time.

[Jinx]

I think I'm the only person who didn't feel emotional and Snape offing the Big Cheese.

[Ouch!]

I have been waiting for this day since HBO announced that they'd optioned the books.

Best Twitter account for reactions.

Edit: I suppose I should put a warning for people who haven't read the books in here. That account retweets some messages that do contain spoilers for next season as well, although not many.

When I read the book, I was confident that something very bad was going to happen the moment Grey Wolf reacted poorly to one of the Freys. Expecting it didn't make it any less of a HOLY smurfING trout moment, though, and I can't wait to watch this episode because I know it will happen all over again.

At least Arya doesnt have to marry anyone from the Freys now. Honestly, that was one of the biggest things I wasnt sure how would be resolved

Also I half expected some kind of horrible masacre because people kept calling it the "red" wedding even though those words are never uttered.

Hah, I love it. The people who are pissed off at HBO are the most amusing. These people do know the show heavily follows a book series, right? See:

Idk who the smurf on HBO approved the actions of tonight's Game of Thrones but they better have a reason for it.

sometimes I hate TV writers and their smurfing god complexes! you can't just smurf with my emotions like that! smurf YOU HBO and D.B Weiss

I actually kinda wish I hadn't read the books first, just so certain events like this one could be surprising. As is, I was tensed up throughout the entire wedding.

I've seen multiple people ponder as to why they should keep watching after last night's episode. My response to each of them has just been "dragons"

[Araciel]

It just shows how good the stories are when people flip the smurf out if a main dies.

[Ouch!]

So much this. I had a friend complaining that this wasted two seasons worth of character development. That's not true, though. The character development served a purpose; the purpose just wasn't what people had hoped.

[Freya]

I feel like I'm drinking the tears of all the show watchers. :3

[Del Murder]
