Don't know whether this is allowed in here or not, but I will spoiler tag and remove if requested. It pertains to Season 5.
Apparently, Bran and Hodor won't be in Season 5.

Saw that too. Not going to read the article due to fear of spoilers, but what the hell....that's kind of annoying.
Hodor....

I can understand why if it's following the flow of the books, but from what I can tell the next two books happens remotely on the same timeline going the same amount of distance (time-wise). Could be wrong since I just started Dance of Dragons.
Don't click if you don't want to be semi spoiled, not really, but better safe than sorry. It's in direct relation to the quote
I'm fine with that.
Don't know how I feel about this.
They introduced The Children and they looked interesting, I hope this doesn't mean we get to see more of them in season 6, why introduce them to Bran and Hodor in season 4 then?
Regarding the stuff above.
That's disappointing. Bran is my favorite character and I was excited to see where his arc goes from here. But I guess that's probably some end game shit so it's not surprising he'd be put on hold for now. Still, not once in an entire season? Damn.
Regarding the posts above...
Seems kind of silly that the very first time Bran's story gets interesting for a change they decide to remove him for a full season...Not that I'm necessarily complaining because quite frankly he was the least interesting sub-plot for me to date, but it looked like it was just about to get intriguing! Oh well! Bring on the Kings Landing scummyness.

I'm fine with it for no other reason than we'll be spared the endless bitching about
Bran's storyline for a year. It's also pretty routine for characters to disappear for a season on this show. With all the extra time we'll presumably be spending in Essos, there's definitely some narrative value in stepping away from another 'disconnected' storyline as well.
Calling it a spoiler is a reach. Basically, it's just a character that will not be present in the next season. Not for any reason in particular, at least that we're aware of.

It's so unspoilery that I was "spoiled" by an article on The Verge about this so-called non-spoiler. It was in the article title. You'll hear about it sooner or later. Basically what Snuggles said.
It's just a couple characters who won't be on the show again until season 6. (Apparently their story arc isn't big until the second half of the book.)

And it's made worse by filming news being discussed by media outlets, spoiling various things. Others have mentioned the TMZ thing (which is also on HuffPo and Buzzfeed) and I think more will come. Be careful bros.
Another thing to watch for: android phones do some sort of google news summary, google knows I like game of thrones and tries to throw a random spoiler my way that has cropped in the news.

What's really shitty is people putting the spoiler in the article title...and then having the audacity to put a "spoilers below a break" warning in the article when they already threw the spoiler in the title.
that's a shame about
better that though i think than what they did with theon, feeling like they have to include him so they drag out over two seasons him doing very little. more room for other stuff since there's always stuff cut out from the books. i would have taken some more scenes of cut book stuff over a few of the scenes of him being endlessly tortured.
bran. i like bran's storyline, dunno why some find it boring, i'm happy to see a scene with him whenever it comes up, they stop in with him a bit every once in a while and i like that.
That huge long buildup... then Bran is gone
and he will look like a young man in 2 years... the little lord.. lolz

FYI on the info being discussed above:
A vague quote was run with a bit, Bran will be in season 5.
Good.

FYI, just saw an article title on EW.com, I'm sure the article will contain some kind of spoiler (didn't click) but even the title might be a little leading, so be warned.
If you're talking about
"Charles Dance commenting on S5 role"
just him confirming he'll have some role next season whether that may be just as a deceased body or in some flashback we dont know.
It's just more casting news. Still the wisest policy is to just bury your head in the sand until the next season is out.

It's not about anything, though people are posting unrelated ASOIAF spoilers so I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

Buy some used DVDs on eBay.
that's kinda disappointing for me now that
Hodor's become the Hulk of the serie
If any of your friends/family has HBO, watch it on their HBO go.
The special features alone help you follow along with the story so much more. Histories of each House etc.

DVD's are cheaper though and he did ask what the most economical way of getting into the series was!
You can even find all that stuff online!
Well in that case, he can find all the episodes online also. Why is it okay to pirate one part of the BR set but not the other part of it?

Is that stuff not available for free on HBO's website?
not outside the US
And you might be able to find people who own the Blu Rays who will just give you the DVDs that came with them.
