is there anything more stupid than going through internet spoilers?

i mean, what's the point? don't you wanna be surprised, and watch it without prior judgement because you read everything that happens? it's really, really retarded. it's like in brazilian telenovelas where people read in the newspapers what happens in the following episode then they watch it at night just to confirm that it really happens.

It's not the (possible) spoilers and the pleasure of contemplating their veracity as much as it is the unholy entertainment provided by fan comments.
The Westeros.org forum, for example. What a laugh.

Thank archmaester for this. He not only put them in sequence but made sense out of them.

I wouldn't think too much of it, honestly it seems so fan fictiony that even D&D would scoff at it. The morons behind this tried to spoil season 6 but was only about 2/5 right about the events. While some of the details may be spoilers, I doubt it will play out like that.

Personally, spoilers have never hindered my enjoyment of anything. RW was spoiled for me, but I loved reading it and watching it all the same. Hell, they allow you to think more critically of a scene when you aren't distracted by the plot twist, and you can pick up on subtle cues of foreshadowing and such. So being spoiled presents a unique experience of its own.
That said, I tend to avoid them whenever possible. GOT's an exception to that because I don't care much for what happens at this point. The leaks read like fan fiction garbage and I wanted to have a giggle. -

Why would I spend a year in anticipation just so I can be mildly surprised by what a couple of guys arbitrarily decided to make their made-up characters to do?
I don't watch shows just to see what happens. I watch for the whole experience. Reading "Tommen jumps out of a window" is not as satisfying as seeing how Sapochnik decided to present that scene.
Besides, I started this showing knowing what happens, so why stop now? -

It's mostly because we still have a year to wait, and anything could happen between now and then, I might die in a freak occurrence and never know what happens next. At least now I have a vague idea.
