Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

Is Arya now headed to Bravos or to the North? I rewound and could see it either way: That Arya changed her mind and is headed to Bravos, or the coin and saying convinced the captain to take her north.
Wife thinks to the North, I think to Bravos. |

I actually do care, enough that I Googled it before I posted. Unfortunately, when I saw "Bravos" in the Wiki for Ice and Fire, I didn't realize that it was an entry for the men of Braavos.
So thanks for correcting me. |

Do any of the other non book readers suddenly find themselves tempted to start reading the books so you don't have to wait 8 months to continue with the story?
On the one hand it would give me the immediate satisfaction I am craving, but on the other, the show would probably lose a little excitement. Then, once I am done with the books I would be right back to where I am now with waiting for the next season. Craving more with no choice but to wait, except this time it would be a wait for the books, instead of the current wait for the show. |

I would, however, suggest reading the books when everything is said and done. The world is just so much richer. |

Right, because after having read all the way up through book 3, you will then stop and patiently wait for the show to begin before buying and reading book 4...

I think he is saying once you start though you won't want to stop.
