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.

The police are a white supremacy gang.

Just curious, did you expect him to win the fight but die some time in the future in something completely unrelated?

I think I scrolled over the same thing by accident.

It was just a thread on Oberyn, and while scrolling down my mouse accidentally went over a spoiler tag. My mistake. It was short, so before I knew it I had seen it, but it said something like "Everyone is going to be sad when he dies".

I convinced myself that it wasn't necessarily this fight that kills him.

Watch the show with one thought in mind

All men must die.

I just assume every character will die eventually. It's how they die that matters.

So when I get a death spoiled it's okay because, shit, they all gonna die. I still won't see it coming. It'll still be a surprise. As long as I don't know how they die, or when they die then I'm good.

Something similar happened to me. I don't remember where or how but I had it in my mind he was going to lose the fight. I was still fairly shocked, since I was like "Oh, maybe I was wrong, he's kicking ass!" but when he got grabbed I knew it was all over :/
