Not a troll post. Maybe I didn't check the right threads in the past to get the full effect, but man, this isn't the a_skeleton_03 I remember. What happened? I'm not looking for the "Tuco is being a dumbass and I'm just here to call him on it" response you gave in the Amod thread, I mean really, what's wrong? Again, maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but the resurrected a_skeleton_03 seems a lot angrier than the old one. Is everything ok?
On topic, for regular shows I just wait to click on it until I've watched the episode. Sure I've occasionally had things "spoiled" for me because someone else watches previews for next week and I don't, but that's small potatoes. But if I click it anytime after like 3pm my time on the day it airs, I figure I deserve anything I accidentally see. Also, shows shouldn't get new threads for new seasons, not even True Detective. Sometimes it happens anyway, and I'd prefer it didn't, but I am not going to go post about it repeatedly either.
With GoT, it isn't the same at all due to the books, period. You used Lost as a comparison, but there were no Lost books some of us read and some of us didn't, just a shitload of fan theories. I'm fine with the three threads we have now, policed the same way they are now. And so is just about everyone else I would imagine.
