I follow a lot of blog feeds. Have done since the days of Google Reader. Many of my feeds include good pieces on Game of Thrones. For example, here's a New Yorker piece.
Now since I'm getting a little deaf, not quite as deaf as my wife thinks but a little, I often like to follow British shows through DVD's, because that way I can get the subtitles. (I know, there's probably a way to get subtitles on cable, but I'm too lazy to explore it.) And because I'm getting a little senile, there's another benefit: I can watch episodes back to back, without straining my memory to track from one week to another what happened. And a third benefit: I can go to bed earlier, without having to watch from 10 pm to 11 or whatever.
All of this means a dilemma: if I read the blog posts on the episodes as they come out, I inevitably get a lot of spoilers. If I don't, there's no way, no easy way, to go back and pick them up when the DVD's are released and I'm watching them. Life's not fair, sometimes.
