Hey Hey. I've not read any of the books and just hopping in to ask one question: has the series caught up with the books yet, or do we still have a decent amount in the books not covered in series yet? I only ask because I want to read the books, but only once the series has them all covered.
Technically, it's caught up to the current books. But the show has been kinda doing it's own thing for long while now.
There is some random stuff that they haven't shown yet.. but they probably won't even bother with most of it for the show. lol

Awesome. Thank you. I have the first two books sitting on my shelf, then I let them gather dust. Think I'll wipe 'em off and jump in now.
Keep in mind that the show might still re-purpose some stuff for use later down the line. The first two books are pretty safe/done though.
The only way to rectify this mistake is to release the episode early for everyone else, too!

As a reminder from Cornballer:
Keep in mind, this is the typical GoT viewer that hasn't read the books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apdc_8onwqM
I guess we can't blame D&D for dumbing thing down, huh? Also, Howard Stern is really terrible. Just at everything.

I thought they would've been more careful after season five.

Hey, I'm on HBO Nordic and I'm hungover, this is freaking awesome. Watching now. Won't spoil you guys, don't worry
Not if it wasn't intended to be delivered early.
Yeah but even then people who get games early are still allowed to discuss the game over on Gaming Side, though usually in a spoilers thread.

correct about everything

Not in the game's OT which only goes up on release date, surprised no one made GoT leaks/spoiler thread! Is it not allowed?
For something like this which came from HBO themselves and not some dodgy source you think there would be, but HBO rarely slip up like this so the mods probably think it isn't worth it.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!

Yeah I'm wondering about this. An insider leaked most of the entire season a while back and everything he said has been subsequently proven correct. Is there no place to discuss that?

Honestly, if they "Poochie'd" that plotline and mention that the entirety of Sunspear was obliterated by an off-screen earthquake/tsunami/meteor strike, I wouldn't be too mad.
pretty much, that is if the boss even bothered to make a call. HBO Nordic really is a "lowest possible effort" type of service. Their app and webpage are so threadbare. Geez, I could go on so many rants about them.
But in a positive news, the IQ for the episode was outstanding. Haven't seen IQ on HBO Nordic this good ever. Wonder if it's due to the low viewership right now, not limiting bandwidth (their shitty bandwidth is another thing I can go on a long rant about).

it's a shame rally, putting it on there by accident can happen, but to keep it up like that should not fly

Still isn't the biggest fuck up HBO has done with regards to the show.
Didn't the first 4 episodes of season 4 all get put up on the same day or something?

I can still see it. Maybe it depends on the country you're in or something? Weird.
I'm in Sweden and Paganmoon has apparently watched it, so it shouldn't be because of that.
I don't see it when checking the website, gonna try the PS4 (that's where I watched it earlier).
Edit: jepp, still works on the PS4.

Since HBO and the NHL can't get together and not overlap their schedule, I welcome leaked episodes.
HBO has the worst luck. If any of the previous episodes of Season 6 leaked, it wouldn't be a huge deal since mostly #nothingfuckinghappened. Until now. Lol. So yeah, I would recommend staying off Twitter too, if you care.

I have no idea how you guys are not discussing this, lol. It'll be a bitch waiting for tomorrow to discuss this now!

Did you watch, Duckroll?
This is an opposite day level statement IMO.
Only the premiere was relatively uneventful.

Really? In terms of stuff that could be spoiled and get any sort of reaction? There's nothing in them that would have much impact. Oh wait, sorry, you're right, I forgot the Dorne stuff. LOL. Well, okay, I guess that would have been funny to leak for the lolz. Jon coming back is the worst kept secret ever.
