[spoiler alert] Game of thrones series 6 Ep 1 ***Edited by MNHQ to ask people to be circumspect about posting plots between the 2am Sunday showing and 9pm Monday showing***

[wickedlazy]

Did anyone else stay up to watch it?

What did you think of the ending? I was

OK, I'm going to start a new thread which will be so festooned with spoiler warnings that nobody should be able to stray onto it by accident. I'll label it Episode 2. Is that OK with everyone?

Please start an ep 2 thread.

Yes, Start it and I'll be straight there!!

The episode can be watched on demand on sky and now tv. Waiting until 9pm isn't the only option.

Just seen E2. 😱😳

I totally agree with what someone said upthread about Ramsay - chilling

Gah, we can't talk about it?

Good episode. I'd never go on a thread like this before watching an episode though, seems odd

Actually, I think I've changed my mind and now disagree with MNHQ, and with my own previous argument. This thread title already SAYS spoilers.

So no-one should read the thread until they've watched the latest episode.

Which is simultaneously broadcast in the US and the U.K. at 2am UK time.

Surely it's clear, if the thread is titled 'Spoiler'?

Well, just spotted that MNHQ has changed the title. Disregard...

I think a lot of people don't realise that it's shown at 2am, and the 9pm Monday night showing is actually repeat. Therefore they'll come on here see spoilers and complain about it. In my experience I'd avoid the Internet full stop until you've actually watched the episode as there are spoilers all over Twitter and even on the sidebar of shame on Daily Mail website!

The first post on this thread is from people who stayed up late to watch last week's and were talking in the wee small hours of Monday though! I mean, it's literally in the OP. There does come a point...

We have a new thread now though, so let's all of us who want to continue discussion go on over there. Am presuming HQ are ok with it.

DISCUSS EPISODE 2 HERE ONCE YOU'VE SEEN IT!

It's on Now TV. Just seen it.

Can we talk about it now?

Go to the other thread, Anna!

"I don't think it's on to discuss a 2am airing when the majority of people will watch it tonight, tbh"

Just wanted to remind everyone (including mnhq) I started the thread (with spoiler alert) 10 minutes after the first episode first aired at 2.00am. It was intended as a place for anyone who had stayed up to watch or recorded and watched before 9am Monday to discuss without being told off.

9pm*

Oh good someone started a new spoilers allowed thread. Can mnhq please let that one stand as a place to discuss before 9pm

It's obvious I'm knackered, I meant 10 minutes after the show (which aired at 2.00am) was over. Don't like the implication about "worker bees" in mnhq post either, obviously mumsnet is going to have a lot of sahm's or people on materniy leave/part time hours.

I don't understand why anyone would click on to read a thread if they haven't seen the most recent episode ? Surely that is just common sense. I 'watch' plenty of tv threads but never actually catch up on them until I'm up to date in watching the actual programme !

I think the confusion is because it says Episode 1 in the title...so I read this thread and commented on it AFTER I watched Episode 1. After watching Episode 2 I stayed away from TIO just in case someone were to come on here and talk about Episode 2, but I can see why some people thought it was safe to click on TIO thinking this thread is only about Episode 1, only to accidentally see Episode 2 being referred to, if that makes sense. As I said in the Episode 2 thread, I think a new thread should be started for each episode (which seems to be what is happening now) and then it's easier to avoid discussion until you are ready.

I don't understand why anyone would click on to read a thread if they haven't seen the most recent episode ?

You don't have to click on it - the first few words of all posts come up in Threads I'm On.

So if you posted on it AFTER watching ep1, you could still see stuff you didn't want to see BEFORE you've watched ep2.

So the plan of a new thread per episode is very sensible.
