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:

I can't remember exactly, but there might be a couple that are literally titles and not names of or references to the POV characters. |

They all refer tot he POV character, but sometimes they give insight into something about that character. This is the no-spoiler thread, but one example from the 5th book is...
Spoiler!

Cool. Once again, thanks Hawk.
That's how I remembered it as well. Appreciate all your clarifications in this discussion. And for people HAVE NOT read the books, you really DO NOT want to click on Hawk's spoiler tag. |

Regarding the title issue, he seems to stick with character names most of the time unless he's 1) introducing a new POV character or 2) doing a single chapter from a POV that isn't a main character. He never did that much in the early books, but starts doing it a lot in the later ones. |

Ugh. I'm re-reading books 1-4 before going into book 5, and hadn't expected a spoiler that far ahead in this thread...

It's labeled a spolier and you think its not a spoiler?

He's exhausted all of his reading powers reading GRRM. Leave him alone!

I didn't blame Hawk - it was my own fault. Just annoyed that I read it. I didn't expect a book 5 spoiler in the non-spoiler thread about season 2, but if I'd paid more attention, it wouldn't have been an issue...
