Yeah, this: post your ideas, but don't be a fucking asshole about it. Like back at the time of the Purple Wedding, there were a few websites offering "speculation" that the Tyrells were behind it, and it was all just thinly veiled spoilers.

This. Unless the "theories" echo the spoilers from set photos that are out there.

Exactly. The three of us are on the same page. Look, when in doubt, use the tag, and maybe try to provide context if/when you do that.

Something like: "I read this somewhere (reddit, another board, etc) and it seems like it could be true" then tag it.

It gets dicey when you just post the tag without context or info. We don't know if you're talking about something from the episode or some big event from a previous episode or a theory or an actual legit spoiler.

Just don't be an asshole, I think is where we're all at.

Yup. Posted on HBO Go/Now around 9:01 pm East Coast time. You're in for a treat Stip. Part of the fun is the discussion each week between episodes.

And watching Pete freak out about how much the show is ruining the books.

How many times will you watch the whole thing in your lifetime, though?

You'd think that. But really there's so much internet activity that it goes by pretty quickly. These ding-dongs here can talk about this shit all day and night.
