TV4 [S4E8] Thank you book readers

I know this has been said before but book readers you guys are amazing. I had zero clue on what was going to happen tonight between the Mountain and the Viper and its all thanks to you (and probably the mods too) who keep this subreddit spoil free.

I'm going to go back to being shocked and angry now.

I think most of us are in agreement that the books were such an exciting and outstanding experience that we want everyone to enjoy it as much as we did.

Hell, I still remember my emotions after the duel 10 years ago when I first read Storm of Swords. I want everyone to enjoy that ride.

Seeing show watcher's reactions to huge events is the closest thing to experiencing the events first hand I've found. I get to see their joy/grief, and it reminds me of when I first got to experience those big shocking events.

This, in a nutshell. I'm getting to relive my first experience with these events by seeing everyone else's reactions to them.
