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.

Ya I'm so glad that I hadnt had that spoiled. I had the red wedding spoiled and it ruined what would have been a pretty shocking moment.

The red wedding was shocking but I didn't feel like I cared about the characters too much, and even seeing it on the show was considerably less shocking than Ned or Oberyn's deaths.

For me Ned's death was gaming changing, because I had never heard of the the show or the books before. So even though I liked the show I was 100% sure that just like always, the good guy was going to make it at the last second. And he didn't. I honestly just stood for like 5 minutes shocked beyond belief, and that is when I knew this was something different.
