the spoiler-free zone was made a mockery by claiming something that aired a year ago was a spoiler. i am mocking that mockery. also, i am now mocking you, sir.
how is it that i, without gazing upon scrolls of martin, nor motion picture of future tense, may divine such fatal knowledge? is my dark secret tea leaves? chicken's blood? backwards rock and roll? nay! it happened to be the punchline of an awesome scene, in possibly the most talked-about episode of any tv show, ever.
what is so difficult to understand? the moment something airs, it's fair game to discuss. you don't see me in here on sunday nights because i don't get to watch the show until monday - i don't tell everyone else to shut up until i can catch up to the rest of the universe. now i'm getting bullshit for a line of dialogue that aired 368 days ago. if somebody can't pay attention, or can't remember, or just doesn't understand, must this discussion thread grind to a halt? if so, then lock the fucking thing up.
